Due to issues with running the report script locally (being worked on), Sudarshan will post the results of this past Tuesday's End Y Pcal calibration. Attached are pics of the logsheet so he has the pertinent information.
Other than the standard end station calibration measurements, I also removed the alignment irises that we installed the last time we fixed a clipping issue and tweaked the steering mirrors in the receiver module to recenter the beams into the RX integrating sphere as described in WP 7111.

Below is the link to the calibration trend document that includes the measurement done on Tuesday.

After, Travis relieved the clipping on the receiver side by centering the beam in the optics and the integrating sphere, the TxPD and RxPD calibration seemed to have moved back to its non-clipping configuration. This also suggests that all the clipping we had seen during the last few months was all happening outside the vacuum in the receiver side module. Thanks Travis.

J. Kissel Managed to get all other QUADs worth of UIM characterization -- to confirm what's seen on ETMY (see LHO aLOG 31603) is either normal, or abnormal. Will process and post detailed results in due time. Preliminary results indicate that all QUADs show the 167 Hz feature, but only some QUADs show the ~110 Hz feature or 300 Hz forest. Interesting! We'll see how he UIM blade dampers impact this stuff.

J. Kissel Was able to grab an entire suite of calibration measurements this afternoon. Data files listed below, will process in due time. Preliminary results are as expected -- attached is a screen shot of "perfect" reference calibration against current CAL-DELTAL_EXTERNAL, which we know is *not* corrected for time dependent correction factors -- namely kappa_TST which is up at ~10% at the moment, likely causing the shown discrepancy.

CHWP1 tripped off this morning for some reason so I have started CHWP2. This has allowed the second chiller to start. Chilled water temps rose to 52F and are now back to 37F.
There may be a small blip in the VEA space temperature, although it appears it may only move by 1 or 2 tenths of a degree F.
Over the weekend, I the seismon code had died. I don't know why it died over the weekend, but it looks like I may have restarted some wrong versions of epics code. Corey had found it dead again after my last shift, probably a result of the epics code crashing in a way that's not totally obvious on the medm display. I restarted the right versions of the code this morning, but it's hard tell if it's actually, really running, so it needs monitoring. If the code is found not running again, I'd like to know, so I can try to diagnose the code. Some symptoms are the gps clock on the medm is dead (this will turn on a red light on my new medm & there is a diag_main test) or not catching new earthquakes. Also, the new version of the code seems to have more or less killed the old display, so there is no need to report on the old, single event seismon not updating.
Seismon looks dead again. The Dead box on the wall display is red. DIAG_MAIN is showing the "Seismon system not updating" message. Seismon-5 has not updated since 15:53:27utc, Terramon shows several EQs arriving after 15:53.
Added 100 mL H2O to Xtal chiller. Diode chiller level is OK. Filters appear clean. FAMIS 6536.

IFO locked and Observing along with LLO and Virgo. There was a moderate EQ (Mag 4.8) in the Mid-Atlantic which registered sharply on the 0.03 - 0.1Hz seismic plot about an hour ago. It did not disturb the IFO. Environmental conditions are good. All is normal at this time.
We have had issues with RxPD clipping at Y-End Pcal since earlier this year. In light of this clipping we switched to using TxPD instead of RxPD since June 19, 2017. This clipping introduced a systematic error in the calibrated data before June 19. The mathematical recipe that describes this systematic error is in LHO alog #34153. The comment on the same alog also contains the correction factor that needs to be applied to account for clipping until Jan 22.
The files below contains the correction factor from Jan 22, 2017 02:19:02 UTC to Jun 19, 2017 17:35:22 UTC.
Correction factor at three calibration line frequencies for all time with 10s interval (the data is obtained from 10s FFT).

The goal of this measurement is to get the end HWS to sample the ETMs while locked on IR at low power (2 Watts) as a reference and then transition to higher power (29 Watts).
Preparation:
- This morning Peter and I went down to the end stations to install the Hartmann plate on EX and double check that EY's plate was still on. Both are currently installed.
- The virtual disk that houses the HWS data frames was full so I ran a script that deletes old data, we are currently at 87% full.
- I automated the misalignment procedure with this script: /ligo/home/thomas.vo/LIGO/AOS/TCS/20170815_ETM_Abs_Meas/Setup_HWS_Ends_Test.py. In order to image just the ETM, we need to input a bias offset to ALS-PZT2 YAW in order to offset the reflection off the ITM, the offsets were determined in aLOG-35979. For the X-ARM, the bias offsets were correct, but for the Y-ARM the offsets would kick the ETMY reflection off the HWS so we decided to do this move by hand however it was difficult to precisely discern how far off the ITM spot was.
We locked both arms in green and took the lock guardian all the way up to DC_Readout, then I manually opened the shutter on the green beams and ran a misalignment script (see below) and started the HWS code. However, the code on ETMX crashed in the middle of the test and didn't throw up any warnings but we were able to get ETMY measurements. The data is in /data/H1/ETMY_HWS/1186800000.
