h1pemmy shutdown, VEA getting hot (80F)

Richard, Fil, Dave:

at MY we powered down: h1pemmy front end computer, its IO Chassis, its AA Chassis and both fiber-eth-converters (h1fe and h1daq).

These will remain powered off for the duration of the bake-out.

MY weather station is also down, suspect turning off DC power supplies in the DAQ rack did this.

X-end Pcal beam alignment (at Receiver Module) way off

NikoL, Rick S

We switched on the the Pcal laser to check the beam pointing after the vibration damper and baffles installation work last week.

We (with Corey's help) pointed the ETM to center the optical level signals.

With this alignment the Pcal spots are way off, more than 1 cm (see attached photo, both beams should be (and were earlier last week) centered on the integrating sphere aperture).

Keita is going to check on the TMS alignment so we can try to discriminate between the possibility that the Pcal periscope shifted during the alignment work and the possibility that the ETM pointing (or OptLev) has changed.

If the ETM pointing is off, it would be on order 10 mm over 10 m, or about 1 mrad.

TravisS, NikoL, RickS

It appears that the Pcal periscope structure moved (top pitched back, away from the ETM) during the "Baffles and Shields" installation.

The attached photos show the spot positions on the ETM target both before (last Wed.) and after (this morning) the installation of the vibration absorbers, Mt. Brackets, and barrel baffle panels.

Also attached is a detail of the Pcal ETM target (D1301014) showing the dimensions of the features on the target.

It appears that the upper beam moved up about 3.5 mm and the lower beam moved right about 3.5 mm. 

The gaps between the centers of the upper flexures and the A7 adapter wall were slightly more than 0230".  Our goal was to keep them below 0.220".  We set them significantly below 0.220" last week (maybe 0.210") but apparently the additional mass of hte hardware added reduced the compression (as expected, see LIGO-T1800047-v2).

SUS_ZM1 Guardian Node Created and Started

This morning I started the ZM1 Guardian node. I had made the code changes for it back with ZM2 (alog40256), so it was just an easy create and start.

It is also on the Guardian overview screen, and while I was there I checked that all nodes were on it. All good!

CP4 bake-out controller in "HOLD" again
Output has been at 100& for days now so this won't impact anything.  If situation were different, i.e. were weren't already at 100% output but still ramping up, then this "bug" could have resulted in an over temperature condition.  The program is behaving as if the "HOLD" condition is a function of run time based on 1C / hour expected rate of rise and time needed to get to SETPOINT value from measured temperature recorded at start of profile.  If so, then this is a novice programmer mistake.  The program should switch to the HOLD segment upon reaching the SETPOINT value as a function of the measured temperature irregardless of time so as to always be limited to the 1C / hour maximum rate of rise.

I also witnessed this happen on Friday when the control sensor clearly hadn't reached the set point yet and program transitioned to hold at temp. Heater had been at 100% output overnight.

Electric field meter noise floor conversion to DARM

Following on from the driven electric field meter (EFM) measurements presented in alog lho-40878, I've made a rough conversion of the EFM noise floor into meters of DARM. It looks like the EFM might just be sensitive enough to see fields which could contribute to DARM. This calibration is very dodgey and is really just an order-of-magnitude (or 3) estimate. Based on the the transfer function from volts-of-ESD-shield-drive to meters-in-DARM, in alog llo-28675 (strongly dependent on which test mass was looked at), the EFM noise floor lies somewhere between the red and purple traces in the first plot.

How I made this plot:

First I fit our measured electric field strength vs volts of ESD shield drive measurement, to get a conversion from Vshield to electric field strength [V/m] (second plot, data read off the plots in Jeff's previous log post)

I fit Anamaria's transfer functions for mDARM per Vshield as shown in llo-28675. I just did a linear fit and extrapolated it to 500Hz, since their measurements only go to 200Hz.

I converted this transfer function into mDARM per electric field [V/m], using the fit in step 1 (shown in the third plot)

Finally I took the EFM noise floor, and multiplied it by the transfer function (x 5 since we drove all 5 shields where LLO only drove 1) to get the EFM noise floor in mDARM (plot 1).

EFM measurements will continue at EX in the future, we still need to look at the frequency-dependence of the ESD shield electric field, and take measurements where we drive the ESD signal/bias, ISI horizontal actuators, and anything else in-chamber that might generate electric fields.

Estimates I made a while ago when deciding that the smaller electric field meter was not adequate are
the sensitivity of the meter had to be 5 e -5 Volts/meter/sqrt(Hz) at 100 Hz to intersect the ambient 
field noise in the chamber. This required that the test mass had acquired a charge of about 3 e -9 coulombs.

TC1 (used for CP4 bake contoller) displaying invalid value then valid value then .....
I noticed that the displayed value in the TC1 field was "#..." or absent a numeric value this morning at 0110 hrs. during a random check.  I monitored for 10 minutes and noted displayed values as 

TC1="#..." TC2=85.5 TC4=83.0 %(can't determine due to pixel resolution) 

TC1="#..." TC2=85.8 TC4=83.2 %(can't determine due to pixel resolution) 

TC1="#..." TC2=85.7 TC4=83.1 %(can't determine due to pixel resolution) 

TC1="#..." TC2=85.6 TC4=85.2 %(can't determine due to pixel resolution) 

TC1=99.9 TC2=85.5 TC4=85.5 %71 

TC1="#..." TC2=85.9 TC4=83.3 %76  

Thus, displayed value of TC1 is alternating between gibberish and valid values.
