Given all the hands that have been on the system, I would say that things look relatively ok and if they aren't, whomever is currently doing work is aware of any deficincies.
Since the HPO is still running, regular HPO maintenance must still be performed regardless of the ongoing vent. Therefore, today I completed the weekly PSL FAMIS tasks.
HPO Pump Diode Current Adjust (FAMIS 8441)
After 3 weeks of no adjustment due to the NPRO swap in the 35W FE, I adjusted the operating current and temperature of the HPO diode boxes; the changes are summarized in the below tables. All work was done with the ISS OFF; a screenshot of the PSL Beckhoff main screen is attached for future reference.

The ISS is back ON and the HPO is outputting 153.0 W. This completes FAMIS 8441.
PSL Power Watchdog Reset (FAMIS 3669)
I reset both PSL power watchdogs at 16:55 UTC (9:55 PDT). This completes FAMIS 3669.
Corey & Jeff B., Ran the check_dust_monitors_are_working script,and found DM #5 had lost network connection. Corey went to HAM5 and power recycled the unit. All monitors are now working. The 24 hour trend data look good. Only HAM3 reported counts over 100 in both 0.3um and 0.5um. These were of short duration and counts dropped to base line after a few minutes.
Attached is the diagnostic breadboard relative power noise measurement of the front end. Generally speaking the relative power noise is higher, across the board, than the reference trace by a factor of ~1.5 to ~2. Tried to perform a frequency noise measurement but could not lock the diagnostic breadboard's pre-modecleaner. Not sure why at this stage as there appears to be plenty of light on the transmitted light photodiode.
- This morning, Bubba and a small crew removed the HAM5 N and S doors. Chamber initial entry contam control will happen tomorrow by someone I find.
- Violin mode measurements finished this morning on the ITMx (Kissel, Travis).
- HAM3 damper work continued in the lab, an hour of work remains for first thing tomorrow morning (Kissel, Hugh).
- IO work started in HAM2 (Cheryl, Keita).
- BSC and HAM install arm Hazard analysis walk thru happened with TJ, Travis, Mark D, Gerardo, and I. We are planning to put the BSC install arm on the W door of BSC3 tomorrow morning.
- Alastair built the laser safe barracade around the TCSY table in prep for having a local laser hazard zone around the table for the week while he is here (there is an SOP for this, will link later, maybe).
- TJ shipped 5 boxes of HAM3/4 baffle parts to the coating company, due back next week for C&B.
- OFI parts coming out of oven "any minute" now for OFI rebuild continuation later this week. (Chamberside testing still scheduled for ~Wed-Fri of next week.)
I noticed that this was off (why?) maybe since the power failure a week or two ago? -> I energized the controller and pump seems fine. - OK

We rearranged the ISC-CER racks to comply with the most recent drawing version. This includes the reshuffling of the tip-tilt drivers into the sus racks as well as adding the RF generation for the squeezer. We are still missing a 384-chn BIO and an RF amp concentrator. Most of the cabling for the new chassis is still missing as well.
I've updated the local copy of the TCS folder in USERAPPS.
The HWS data disk was full. After checking that the data was backed up on LDAS, I removed the contents of the /data/H1/ETMY_HWS/1188900000/ directory/
Updated the stream_image aliases on H1HWSEY, H1HWSEX, H1HWSMSR, H1HWSMSR1.
alias stream_image_EY='python /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/tcs/common/hws_code/utilities/stream_HWS_intensity.py 0'
alias stream_image_EX='python /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/tcs/common/hws_code/utilities/stream_HWS_intensity.py 0'
alias stream_image_ITMX='python /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/tcs/common/hws_code/utilities/stream_HWS_intensity.py 1'
alias stream_image_ITMY='python /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/tcs/common/hws_code/utilities/stream_HWS_intensity.py 0'
The stream_image code works for ETMX and ETMY but not for the ITMs. HWS cameras are not connected at the ITMs so we'll have to wait to check those.
3 irises (one each for MC1 and MC3 inside the IMC and one between MC3 and IM1) were installed.
We'll continue working tomorrow.
Starting 29 August, using an optical auto-level, I collected vertical position data at HAM3, HAM2 and the PSL area floor--see 38584. On September 20 (post vent,) the HAM3 HEPI Pier Elevations were re-observed. Bottom line: No news, the floor did not tilt in any observable way: the four hepi piers moved up from 0.0 to 0.2mm. While you could argue that this is about 100urads (depending on piers) it is also in the resolution of my measurements. I closed the survey loop with just 0.1mm error but each observation is maybe +-0.1 or maybe even 0.2mm. Again, bottom line, no big shift of the floor.
On 19 Sept, the HAM2 ISI Optical table (Stopped on Lockers) was observed with the auto-level. The ISI table shows a tilt down from SW to NE of about 0.6mm or about 300urad over the ~2m table. Looking at the CPS positions from before vent to now suggests the ISI has been operating at this attitude for quite awhile as there is only about 30-50urads of tilt from under-vacuum ISI isolated to vented ISI locked.
Attached are my surveying notes.
J. Kissel H1 ISI HAM3's tuned mass dampers have been retuned to match the first bending mode of HAM ISI blade springs post spring-tip-damper install (~139 Hz). Attached are the results for all three TMDs (pg. 1: before and after tuning; pg. 2: after tuning, compared against the blades). The retuned TMDs will be installed tomorrow morning. Details of the measurement setup are as described in LHO aLOG 38741.
The particle counts for the past 24 hours in the LVEA are good. Most are well below 100. There is one spike up to 200 counts for 0.3u particles, which is under the major alarm level by 33.3%. No indications of contamination concerns in any of the LVEA cleanrooms.

I added a fourth ADC to h1lsc0 IO Chassis, using the ADC-ribbon-interface unit which was removed from h1asc0 last Friday. I modified the model h1ioplsc0 to read the new ADC card. To maintain a contiguous bloc of ADC cards in the IO Chassis, internal ribbon reconfiguration was needed for ADC1,2,3 (ADC0 and DAC0 were unaffected).
I powered down the h1asc0 system, Daniel and Marc needed to move the IO Chassis within the ISC rack.
There were no Dolphin issues when I power the front ends back on. There was a slight negative excursion for h1iopasc0's IRIG-B which soon corrected itself.
A DAQ restart was needed due to the h1ioplsc0 model change.
P.S. Using the new SQZ alog task, many thanks to Ryan for setting this up!
Adjusted the two mirrors directing the beam sample from the front end laser into the diagnostic breadboard. No changes were made to any of the lenses. A mode scan was conducted for a quick check of the status after the alignment touch up. The attached mode scan report says 3.1% in higher order modes. Which is a tad better than the scan that was conducted last Friday.
Added ~475 ml to the crystal chiller. This is a larger amount than normal due to a small leak in the return side of the water manifold. Two towels were placed under the manifold on Friday afternoon to wick up the water.
