H1 locked/observed over 19.5hrs.  All is quiet environmentally with outside temps in the upper 30s.

TITLE: 10/01 Owl Shift: 07:00-15:00 UTC (00:00-08:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 117Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Patrick
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_CONF state: WINDY_NO_BRSX
    Wind: 8mph Gusts, 7mph 5min avg
    Primary useism: 0.02 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.11 μm/s

Low Microseism & winds for this last graveyard of O3A.  Woo Woo!
QUICK SUMMARY:

H1 has been locked/observing for about 15.75hrs (kudos to Patrick for riding through that EQ without getting to use EARTHQUAKE state!).  And continue to operate H1 WITHOUT BRSx (i.e. in the SEI_CONF state of WINDY_NO_BRSX).

Continue to have MX FMCS low temperature alarms and INVALID/connection issues.

This is the last graveyard yard shift for O3A as we begin a month-long commissioning break in October after this shift....or it could start earlier if H1 drops out of lock near end of shift (let's see what can happen these next 8hrs!).

DetChar Note:  Not sure this has been noted/broadcasted, but the H1 Summary Pages have been down since my shift last night.  So, this is why we can't see the H1 Glitch (DMT-Omega) page on our nuc0 wall computer.  Tagging DetChar about this in case it hasn't been brought to your attention.  L1's Summary Page looks fine.

TITLE: 09/30 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 116Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Corey
SHIFT SUMMARY: Currently standing down for GRB. Rode through eq without changing SEI_CONF from WINDY_NO_BRSX.
LOG:

23:11 UTC Gerardo to mid X to pick up equipment
04:22 UTC Notification of incoming earthquake from Pitcairn Islands. Can't change SEI_CONF to EARTH_QUAKE due to BRSX.
05:50 UTC mid X temp alarm
06:43 UTC GRB G352073 LLO confirmed but is relocking Fermi: 591604915, TRIGGER_DUR:     0.256 [sec] Stand Down

Have remained locked and in observing. No issues.

In anticipation of having less power through the rotations stage, I've increased the gain on IO GigE cameras 2 and 3 (cameras 29 and 09)

• IO GigE 2: gain was 2500, now 6500
• IO GigE 3: gain was 178, now 450
• no change to IO GigE 1: gain was 29812, and is still 29812

To implement WP 8381 I have been setting up a standalone epics recorder on a currently spare daqd box h1nds3.

Work done today:
 * Added 4x2TB disks in a raid5 configuration for 6TB of storage
 * Installed the mbuf and gpstime drivers
   * This machine is not on the site timing system, so the time is system time/ntp based.
 * Built daqd_shmem, local_dc, and standalone_edc from git master.

While the raid is building I am running some tests against simulated data writing to the main (small) disk.

This will be collecting the roughly 40k EPICS channels and recording them locally.

It will be accessed via NDS at h1nds3:8088 (do not use this yet, you will only get simulated channels).

Install notes:
 * all config files for this ad-hoc build are being put in /etc/edcu
 * standalone_edc is run as:
   * standalone_edc -b edc_daq -d 52 -i /etc/edcu/edcu.ini -p H3:
     * write to the edc_daq memory buffer
     * dcuid = 52 to match production edc (meaningless in this situation, but it needs some number)
     * Setting a prefix of H3: to the 3 edcu specific channels (connection count, currently connected channels, currently disconnected channels)
 * local_dc is run as:
   * local_dc -s edc -b ifo -m 64 -d /etc/edcu
     * read from the edc_daq buffer and place in the the ifo output buffer which is 64MB, config is in /etc/edcu
 * daqd_shmem is run as:
   * daqd_shmem -c /etc/edcu/daqdrc
     * configured to read data from the ifo buffer with a size of 64MB

None appear overly elevated.
