STATE of H1: Observing at 110Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ed
SHIFT SUMMARY:

Started out with some weather on the drive in!  And the weather covered over the first half of the shift, but have ended with about 5hrs of Observing.  

Did have an ADC Error which cleared after a Diag Reset.
LOG:

• ~7:00 weather picks up & is seen on many H1 signals/systems, but H1 plugs along.  H1 range takes drop from usual 117Mpc down to 104Mpc.
• 7:12 ADC Error for H1IOPSUSAUXB123.  AT 8:45 I hit Diag Reset & this made the ADC Error green.
• 7:43 Lockloss.  OBSERVATORY MODE---> WINDY
• 7:55 Dust monitor at EY jumps from near zero up to 18k.
• 10:09 Observing!
• 10:17:43, 10:51:38, 11:02:57 times when thunder was heard in the Control Room.
• Raining again as I leave!

Although the winds have died and H1 is happily in Observing, there is still storm activity all around us with lightning and thunder every dozen or so seconds, but H1 is humming along fine with this activity....as long as the winds continue their downward trend!

Winds are down in the 20mph range.  Ran an Initial Alignment & made it back to Observing in 2-attempts.  Here are notes:

• Lock#1 (8:43-9:36)
  • 8:21-8:43 Initial Alignment
  • Locking (needed to lock PRMI, OMC saturations for a while, but made it through ASC steps), but...
  • 9:36 Lockloss at LOWNOISE COIL DRIVERS
• Lock#2 (9:37-10:09)
  • DRMI locked w/o PRMI.
  • 10:09 Observing!

With winds now beginning to touch 40mph, H1 finally loses lock (with its range degrading all the way down to 90Mpc before dropping).

Might sit it out for a little bit, but we'll see.  Observatory mode is WINDY.

OUTGOING OPERATOR: Cheryl
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_CONF state: WINDY
    Wind: 23mph Gusts, 19mph 5min avg
    Primary useism: 0.08 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.17 μm/s

High winds with lightning!  Lots of storm activity...have seen gusts over 30mph. 
QUICK SUMMARY:

Expected to see H1 down since as I was getting ready at home a big wind storm was raging in town.  On the drive out, I saw frequent lightning strikes north of LHO, but as I walked in all looked fine!

But as Cheryl and I were chatting the winds picked up from 10mph to 30.  At around midnight, ASC Pit Control signals, IMC-F on tidal, and many LSC control signals all became noisier.  Range also finally started to drop a little after midnight (7:00).   On DARM blrms, the noise picked up in frequency bands between 20-100Hz.

Possible Fire?  Scanning video we saw some "new light" out in the desert.  Basically directly east of the Vit plant we could see two distinct light sources which looked like possible fires (they were where there lightning strikes).  Did not see any notes on the hanford.gov site or on their app though.  And 15min later we do not see the fire spots...it is also raining a little, too.  Will keep an eye out for fires.

Will reboot video4 since it looks spotty.

SHIFT SUMMARY: locked all shift
LOG: one EQ from Canada, 4.5M, only a smal effect on H1 range

H1 is still locked, winds just picked up, but still under 10mph, a 4.5M EQ from Canada rolled through and produced a small dip in range.

I've produced new filters for the GDS calibration pipeline using the new calibration model Jeff produced in LHO aLOG 51784.  The filters can be found in the calibration SVN here:

aligocalibration/trunk/Runs/O3/GDSFilters/H1GDS_1252081818.npz

The corresponding configuration file is here:

aligocalibration/trunk/Runs/O3/GDSFilters/H1GDS_1252081818.ini

The filters were produced in SVN revision 8394 using this script:

aligocalibration/trunk/Runs/O3/H1/Scripts/TDfilters/H1_run_td_filters_1252081818.sh

Attached are Bode plots of the filters (first 2 plots), showing the expected good agreement with the frequency-domain model.  The third plot is an ASD comparing the regular strain to the cleaned strain, showing that the cleaning works as usual and that the high-pass filtering looks good.  Lastly, several plots are attached showing comparisons of the frequency-domain models to the filters' effect on real data.  The data was taken from around noon UTC today.  Note that the response function shows a large discrepancy.  This is expected, and it is due to the fact that the new model has not yet been implemented in the front end.  If we make this plot again after Monday, it should show much better agreement.

16:11 Lockloss Intention bit Commissioning

• Reason is not apparent

16:12 Re-Lock attempt 1 - H1 as-is.

• Green re-locked
  • X is a little weak- going to try a tweak
  • having a lot of trouble recovring X-Arm power with just ETM and TMS - going ro IA (H1 has been locked for 26+hrs)
  • ND scope and Dataviewer BOTH seem to be very laggy which made using them a little daunting. I really had to "slow my roll" trying o adjust the x-beam.
    • there is ~10 sec lag between action and result -_- (actually, more like 20)
      • Dave reported nothing indicating why this should be happening. I'll reboot the workstation i'm using.

17:00 Re-Lock attempt 2

• DRMI alignment didn't turn out so good. Went to PRMI
  • PRMI command didn't respond to my clicking - Took ISC_LOCK to down ad started it again (i'm wondering if it's related to the slowness I experienced with the data monitoring tools)

17:11 Re-Lock attempt 3

• Lost it at ENGAGE_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO

17:42 Re-Lock attempt 4

• paused for a few minutes @ ENGAGE_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO
• moved to ENGAGE_ISC and held for a few minutes
• at ENGAGE_SOFT_LOOPS and after a litany of saturations the lock failed.

18:00 ReLock attempt 5

• paused for a few minutes @ ENGAGE_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO. Then moving straight to DC_READOUT.
• I got the extensive litany of saturations again but then it ceased....
• parked it at DC_READOUT for a rew and lost the lock. GRRRR!

18:32 ReLock attempt 6

• no parking this time. Going to try the full Monty
• lost it at CHECK_AS_SHUTTERS

18:40 Re-Lock attempt 7

• same approach as last
• lock loss at trying DRMI - i'm suspectin te IMC at this point
• lunch time
• 19:19 NLN - Intention Bit Observing

[J. Kissel, A. Viets]

This analysis is similar to that done in LHO aLOG 51654.  I've used the broadband injection from Wednesday (2019-09-04): see LHO aLOG 51738.  The attached plot of DeltaL(f) / Pcal(f) during the injection includes 4 versions of calibration I made offline using the DCS pipeline:

1. Real kappas: This version applies corrections for real parts of kappa_T, kappa_P, and kappa_U, as well as kappa_C and fcc
2. Real kappas + SRC: This version applies corrections for real parts of kappa_T, kappa_P, and kappa_U, as well as kappa_C, fcc, f_s, and Q
3. Complex kappas: This version applies corrections for complex values of kappa_T, kappa_P, and kappa_U, as well as kappa_C and fcc
4. Complex kappas + SRC: This version applies corrections for complex values of kappa_T, kappa_P, and kappa_U, as well as kappa_C, fcc, f_s, and Q (everything)

Also included is the C00 data produced online using the GDS pipeline.  As expected, it agrees most closely with version 1 above.

This plot, as well as text files with the data, are available in the calibration SVN here:

SHIFT SUMMARY:

Approaching 25hrs of lock for H1 & it was hands off for it the entire shift with 12+hrs of Observing.  Environmentally it is quiet & will continue to be so *knock on wood*.
LOG:

• 7:34 Cheryl to optics lab
• 13:18-13:35 Y-arm sunrise drive (corey)

H1 approaching a 21hr lock.  Environmental conditions are nice & quiet.  L1 was down, but they came back quick in under an hour & we are back to triple coincidence.
