Observing
Back to observing at 14:20 UTC. Screenshot of accepted SDF differences attached. It appears that H1:ALS-X_REFL_SERVO_COMBOOST keeps alternating between 1 and 2.

Again:
NOISE_TUNINGS was announced twice by verbal alarms, along with: 'TypeError while running test: LOCK_STATE'.
Verbal alarms crashed upon hitting the observing intent bit.

Observing
NOISE_TUNINGS was announced twice by verbal alarms, along with: 'TypeError while running test: LOCK_STATE'. This occurred the last time as well.

Accepted the attached SDF differences. Why are these coming up each time?

Verbal alarms crashed again upon hitting the observing intent bit.

Hopefully the initial alignment will help this lock.

Lock loss
Lock loss at 09:00 UTC. Possibly from the mechanism causing the DARM noise?

May have actually been from an earthquake.

I do not believe seismon saw it. A tconvert on the GPS time gives:

I believe this is the one seismon is reporting, which was much earlier.

I have seen this before: alog 35173. If I recall, Jeff K. knew what it was, but I don't remember what he said.

sheila.dwyer@LIGO.ORG - 09:07, Tuesday 13 June 2017 (36835)

What is rung up at 6kHz?  That might be the problem.

patrick.thomas@LIGO.ORG - 09:58, Tuesday 13 June 2017 (36839)
Good question. Somehow I hadn't noticed that.

It is not there in the screenshot in the first alog I linked to (from when this happened before).
patrick.thomas@LIGO.ORG - 10:02, Tuesday 13 June 2017 (36840)
Well, maybe it is, but at a much reduced amplitude.

Ops Mid shift report

Locked and Observing for 12hrs. The range drop that we saw previously definitely seems to correlate with the wind, which is odd since the wind was only peaked at 35mph for a few tens of minutes and then slowly decreased again.

There does still seem to be some more noise than usual in the 30-1000hz and our range is still only at 60Mpc, about 5Mpc worse than the last lock.

Some trends maybe showing that low wind is affecting our range.

gstlal-calibration-1.1.7 now installed on DMT machines at LHO
When I restarted the calibration pipeline last Thursday, June 8 (see https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=36727 ), I noticed that gstlal-calibration-1.1.7 had been installed on h1dmt0 and h1dmt2. This apparently happened automatically during Tuesday maintenance and was not intentional. However, this change did not affect the process or the output until the restart on June 8. Due to the amount of testing already done with this version (the last batch of C01 was made with it; also see https://bugs.ligo.org/redmine/issues/5531) and the difficulty of reverting to version 1.1.4, it was decided to continue using 1.1.7 at LHO. We have had 5 days of online running since this restart, and no problems have occurred. LLO plans to continue using 1.1.4 for one more week before upgrading to 1.1.7 on June 20.

New features/bug fixes included in 1.1.7 as compared to 1.1.4:
* Algorithm to compute SRC detuning parameters; 4 more 16 Hz channels:
        - {IFO}:GDS-CALIB_F_S
        - {IFO}:GDS-CALIB_F_S_NOGATE
        - {IFO}:GDS-CALIB_SRC_Q_INVERSE
        - {IFO}:GDS-CALIB_SRC_Q_INVERSE_NOGATE
* Command line option to remove calibration lines (not yet being used, but would add a 16 kHz channel, {IFO}:GDS-CALIB_STRAIN_CLEAN )
* Latency reduced by 5 seconds (was 10 - 14 seconds, now 5 - 9 seconds)
* Bug fix to mark 3 seconds before and after raw data dropouts bad in the CALIB_STATE_VECTOR. This 3 seconds is due to the settling of the FIR filters. The risk of running without this big fix is that there can be glitches around raw data dropouts that need to be manually vetoed (see https://alog.ligo-la.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=32486 )

no more robo-alog entries about CP3, CP4 autofill

The eagle-eyed alog reader would have noticed that the regular robo-alog entries reporting on CP3 and CP4 autofills have been missing lately. We have discontinued this service now that the vacuum team have fixed the LN2 pump liquid level gauges and these pumps are back under PID control.

A typo in ISC_CUST_BULLSEYE.adl fixed

I found a channel name typo in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/isc/common/medm/ISC_CUST_BULLSEYE.adl was fixed. The file was committed to the repository.

Previously, H1:PSL-DIAG_BULLSEYE_WID_INMON display on the screen actually showed H1:PSL-DIAG_BULLSEYE_PIT_INMON.
