CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_CONF state: WINDY
Wind: 6mph Gusts, 4mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.03 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.45 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY: Just had a lockloss at 16:09 UTC, no obvious reason why yet. This might delay the calibration measurements that we have scheduled for 11am.

<b>QUICK SUMMARY:</b>winds below 10mph with some gusts, range dropping, looks like it goes with a slight increase in useism

TITLE: 01/19 Eve Shift: 00:00-08:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC STATE of H1: Observing at 118Mpc INCOMING OPERATOR: Cheryl SHIFT SUMMARY: Two lock losses from observing, no obvious cause. Currently riding through 6.3 magnitude eq in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Is. LOG: 00:10 UTC Lock loss from observing. 00:14 UTC Set SEI_CONF to WINDY. This might have helped the Y arm lock on green. 00:39 UTC Lock loss from RESONANCE. ISI BS stage 2 watch dog tripped. 00:46 UTC Lock loss from TURN_ON_BS_STAGE_2 (probably because it was tripped). 00:50 UTC Pausing at FIND_IR to untrip ISI BS stage 2. It went to DAMPED, but the nominal is HIGH_ISOLATED. Not sure if I should request HIGH_ISOLATED? 00:56 UTC Lock loss from FIND_IR 01:09 UTC Lock loss from PRMI_ASC 01:16 UTC Lock loss from ACQUIRE_DRMI_1F 01:17 UTC Pausing at READY. Setting ISI BS stage 2 request to HIGH_ISOLATED. It kept going back to DAMPED. Set SEI_BS to FULLY_ISOLATED. It went to FULLY_ISOLATED. 01:21 UTC Hit INIT. SEI_BS went to ISOLATED_DAMPED. 01:23 UTC Relocking. 01:32 UTC Lock loss from CARM_150_PICOMETERS. Pausing at READY to step out of control room. 01:41 UTC Set SEI_CONF to USEISM 01:43 UTC Relocking. 02:19 UTC NLN. No intervention. 02:21 UTC Accepted CALCS SDF differences. Observing. 02:35 UTC Verbal notification of a magnitude 5.3 incoming earthquake from Guam. Is on the borderline of not doing anything on the EQ response zones plot. Going to leave SEI configuration alone. 04:08 UTC Lock loss from observing. 04:37 UTC Lock loss from DHARD_WFS. 05:19 UTC NLN. No intervention. 05:20 UTC Accepted CALC SDF differences. Observing. 07:04 UTC Took SEI_CONF to EARTH_QUAKE for 6.3 eq in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Is.
05:20 UTC. SDF differences attached.
04:08 UTC
No issues since recovering from the lock loss at the beginning of the shift.
02:21 UTC. SDF differences attached.

SEI_CONF state: USEISM
Wind: 2mph Gusts, 1mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.04 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.75 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY: Having trouble locking Y arm with no light on AS AIR or ALS_Y_WFS_A_DC. It seems that the ALS-Y_PZT1_TRIG_THRESH or the REFL_SERVO may not be set correctly so I may call in the Cavalry.
After tweeking the ETMY and TMSY to get the dot of light on WFS_A_DC as central as I could, Increase flashes worked its magic and got ALs locked.

SHIFT SUMMARY: Eq lockloss, then trouble with ALSY
LOG:
14:18 Lockloss caused by high microseism and earthquake seismic transition
I spent the next hour waiting for the ground to calm down, then waiting for ALS locking to fail. I could help lock the X arm after waiting for way too long, but no real visible light on the ALSY camera. I know this is a problem we've run into before, but couldn't find the fix in either Jenne's troubleshooting document or the alog, or even the H1 troubleshooting ops wiki. The only clue I have is that when the Xarm is locked the green wfs qpds have spots that are centered and the yarm A qpd doesn't have a spot and the B is not centered.

Knocked briefly out of observing by squeezer. LOG: 03:16 UTC Knocked out of observing by squeezer. 03:18 UTC Clicked INIT on SQZ_MANAGER. 03:19 UTC Back to observing.
Have remained locked. Knocked out of observing briefly by squeezer. Microseism is still slowly trending down.
