For the CS dust monitors:
LVEA:
5: It passed the zero count test after 3 rounds, there were 2 and 1 cts of 0.3 before which is still a pass, the flow was 2.6 and I adjusted it up to 2.8. PASS
6: It passed the zero count test after 2 rounds, there was 1 count of 0.3 before which is a pass, the flow was 2.8. PASS
10: It passed the the zero count test first round and had a flow of 2.8. PASS
Diode Room: It has a slightly high flow of 2.9 (within 5% of 2.8, acceptable) and I was not able to adjust it down from the dust monitor but it passed the zero count test. PASS
Labs:
Lab1: The optics lab passed the zero count test on the second round and has a flow rate of 2.7 which is within the 5% error stated in the manual. PASS
Lab2: The Clean and Bake lab passed the zero count tests first round and has a flow of 2.8. PASS
Lab3: The PCAL lab dust monitor is still being troubleshooted.
I did not enter the PSL enclosure or anteroom, RyanS will check them during the next incursion.
For the OUT building dust monitors:
FCES: There is no longer a dust monitor setup here, I borrowed it for the vent work as theres no vacuum pump out there so during observing its nominally off.
EndX: It passed the zero count test on the first round, the flow was 2.6 (just outside 5% out of range) and I went to check the vacuum pump at it was at -14.5 mmHg and it was at the end of its upper adjustable range. This may mean the vacuum pump is nearing time for a rebuild as I was not able to increase it from the dust monitor. Tentative PASS
EndY: It passed its zero count on the second round, and its flow was 2.75. PASS
J. Kissel, O. Patane We've completed our campaign of gathering open loop gain, loop suppression, and closed loop gain transfer functions of the top mass damping loops for all SUS that we expect to upgrade with ECR E2400330, which improves the whitening the OSEM sensors read out by UK satamps.

Last week I measured the AS RF72 WFS with and without whitening while the IMC was offline. The first attached plot compares the reference traces with the nominal one stage of whitening, and the live traces with no whitening. Based on that result, I determined that we probably should apply another stage of whitening to AS A RF72. Today I applied the second stage of whitening and saw that it makes a small improvement in the dark noise, again taken with the IMC offline. The second attached plot compares the reference traces with one stage of whitening and the live traces with two stages of whitening.
While changing the whitening, I noticed that the overall offsets of each segment change, each one by a different amount. I averaged the input signals over 30 seconds and used those values to update the dark offsets. Some segments are about the same, while others have changed. This SDF screenshot compares the old and new dark offsets for each segment. I also SDFed the second stage of whitening and anti-whitening compensation for all segments.
I also increased the whitening gain of AS A RF72 by 6 dB (from 12 to 18 dB). I compensated that gain change in the anti-whitening filter bank FM6 with a -6 dB gain filter. I'm less certain of the overall effect this will have, but I hope it will help amplify the signal further relative to any ADC noise (see my alog here for reference). We use very little range on these PDs in full lock and during acquisition, so I don't think this will impact locking.
I reran the dark offsets after this change, and have SDFed them below. These diffs appear in both the ASC and CS ISC models. There will be observing diffs that should be accepted!
We decided to quickly take OLTFs for the ITM R0 stages since we didn't have any yet.
Note: These measurements were taken with the 0.4:10 (old) satamp
ITMY R0
- Measurements taken with suspension in HEALTH_CHECK but with damping loops on
- optic align offsets off, L2->R0 damping off, etc
- We needed to lower the excitation amplitude for V (10 -> 2.5) and Y(300 -> 10) to keep the suspension dac from overflowing and saturating. In the case of V, we could get full measurements with the excitation amplitude at 5, but the coherence was poor, so I lowered the amplitude to 2.5 and that worked to make sure the osems weren't being overdriven. These excitation filters were originally matches to the ETM R0 ones, but we had to adjust them.

STATE of H1: Aligning
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Corey
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 9mph Gusts, 6mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.01 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.05 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
Currently we are in an initial alignment. I'll let that finish and then put the detector in idle
It was only doing input align so I just took the detector to IDLE once that offloaded
Workstations were updated and rebooted. This was an OS packages update. Conda packages were not updated.
Got a notification for H1 assistance. H1 dropped from observing just under 3.5hrs ago. After a couple of PRMI cycles, DRMI did lock within 40min, but immediately lost lock at DRMI LOCKED CHECK ASC. Then an Initial Alignment was immediately run in just under an hour @1024UTC. At this point, H1 attempted lock but had another lockloss at DRMI LOCKED CHECK ASC again, but after this lockloss H1 made it up to CARM 5PicoMeters for the next lockloss. Next attempt made it to a CARM OFFSET Reduction Lockloss. Then after no luck locking PRMI and it being over 3hrs, I got the wake up call.
It's sounding like H1 has been having this Locking ailment as of late.
Going to let it finish a 2nd IA I started at @1253UTC after seeing that PRMI looked fine (flashes looked good on camera and are over 100 counts for POP18/90). Initial Alignment just completed and locking clock is restarting.
(Which is good, because my NoMachine is having the symptom that the mouse pointer does not match it's location in my No Machine session intermittantly (basically I'll have the mouse pointer over a spot, i.e. "X" to close an MEDM window, but when I try to click the "X" with the pointer, the pointer is actually, in the No Machine session, about 10" to the left (or right---basically somewhere else!), so it's hard to operate in my NoMachine session. The mouse would be fine on my laptop's monitor. I've had this issue off and on for a few months. With that said, ....after about 15min, my mouse now works OK in NoMachine!)
H1 is now back to DRMI (after the recent Alignment). Camera flashes look centered and POP18/90 flashes are just under 200. Leaving H1 for automatic operations while I see if I can get return to sleep. At 1325UTC/625amPDT, DRMI locked, btw.
It looks like before Corey was called, there were some locking attempts that got up past DRMI. Before he was called, there were two locklosses from DRMI_LOCKED_CHECK_ASC (which we have figured out was due to some SRC1 offsets being turned on by accident), then one lockloss from CARM_5_PICOMETERS, then two lockloss from CARM_OFFSET_REDUCTION. So that makes a lot more sense as to why it didn't call for three hours!
Thought I had posted this before, but couldn't find it, so here it is. Attached plots compare L2L measurements of the HAM1 GS13s on May 21 during corner pumpdown before adding the periscope viton and June 6 the afternoon after we added viton. The Q and frequency of the 71.8hz mode is somewhat reduced, but the neighboring 69.9hz mode is sharper now, so I'm not sure we gained much. The June 6 measurement was collected in air, so I would still like to collect a set of in-vac measurements. This could probably be done on a Tuesday if there isn't too much activity around HAM1.
I took 5-200hz matlab tfs this morning to compare to the 2 previous measurements above. It seems that the damping is quite effective now. I will try to look at the effect on the isolation filter design, maybe we can get some of the loop gain back. It would still be better to move these modes up above 100hz if possible.
