TITLE: 11/29 Day Shift: 1530-0030 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 160Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan C
SHIFT SUMMARY:
About 100min of downtime for the 9hr shift (with a lockloss early in the shift and one near the end of the shift). For speed, I nudged H1 to CHECK MICH FRINGES to help with DRMI (the 2nd lockloss' ALS locking was all automatic).
Chilly Black Friday with temperatures barely going over 35°F. µseism looks like it might have slightly inched above the 50th percentile over the last 24hrts.

STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Corey
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 3mph Gusts, 1mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.02 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.22 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
23:49 UTC lockloss IMC tag, ASC and IMC lost it within 5ms of eachother. It looks like the ISS might have lost it first then 30ms later the FSS and ASC lost it.
00:37 UTC lost it at TRANSITION_FROM_ETMX

TC mins -79C,-78C. New trip -75C.
H1 had a lockloss in fairly quiet conditions. Lockloss had an "ETM_GLITCH" tag (ETMx, "zoom-in" attached); last time we had one of these was about 3-days ago.
IMC took a few min to acquire after lockloss. ALSx locked, but was driven off by ASC to a pitch misalignment (tried touching up flashes via TMSx, but INCREASE FLASHES immediately took over). DRMI looked ugly, so preemptively went to PRMI (which also looked bad) and then CHECK MICH FRINGES.
DARM seems to move first, then within 1 ms ETMX L3 moves and DARM moves even more then ETMX L2 moves a lot more. ~150ms later the pattern happens again but the L2 response is larger and we lose lock ~100 ms later. I'm not sure this is actually a ETMX glitch.

Wind: 3mph Gusts, 1mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.02 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.19 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
On this Black Friday, H1's been locked almost 7.5hrs w/ a range just under 160Mpc. Decently quiet environmentally with microseism hovering just over the 50th percentile the last 24+hrs; winds are low.
On CDS Overview, CDS SDF was a yellow box for an SDF Diff for H1:CDS-LLA_CONTACT_25_ENABLE in the NO state---THIS WAS ACCEPTED (see attached).

INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan C
SHIFT SUMMARY: Been a very quiet shift. H1 was running an alignment when I arrived this morning after having lost lock, and once that finished, H1 relocked automatically and without issue where it's been since. H1 has now been observing for 7.5 hours.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 5mph Gusts, 3mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.02 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.16 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
After comfirming that ETMY mode1 and ITMY mode 5/6s settings were working all day today (ETMY1 seems to have a larger "breathing" range than other modes) I added them to lscpararms. So ISC_LOCK and VIOLIN_DAMPING GRDs need to be reloaded next time were out of observing.

Only TC-A reached the trip temp of -80C. I have increased the trip temps to -75C for tomorrow's fill.
VACSTAT went into SINGLE (increase sensitivity) mode at 09:25 due to one of our regular BSC3 sensor glitches. I restarted the service at 09:30 to reset back to MONITORING mode.
