TITLE: 08/17 Owl Shift: 07:00-15:00 UTC (00:00-08:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 52Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Jeff
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    Wind: 18mph Gusts, 13mph 5min avg
    Primary useism: 0.07 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.11 μm/s

Windy walking in tonight, but might be calming down. 
QUICK SUMMARY:

The Lock Clock must have been restarted, but looking at Verbal's records we've been locked since the beginning of the EVE shift on Tues (so it's been roughly locked 32.5hrs with some commissioning in there today).

Jeff informed me that there is an nds issue which will prevent various scripts/tools from working on various Control Room work stations---this work station (zotws3) is OK, so I will leave it logged in as Ops.

Seismon is currently dead (Jeff made a subentry to Jim's entry about this).

Current Triple Coincidence started about 50min ago with V1 relocking after a recent lockloss.

   Locked and Triple-C Observing for first half of the shift. Wind is up a bit, bringing up the X & Y Axis primary microseism as well. No other issues or problems to report.

I have been starting to make some ESD actuation measurements while other measurements are ongoing.  The idea is to measure 4 parameters in EQ 2 of G1600699 by putting an excitation onto the bias electrode with and without a bias, and onto the signal electrodes with and without a DC offset sent to the signal electrodes. 

Jeff K kindly let me inject some lines during his calibration measurements today, and here are the results I get.  I might have gotten some signs wrong, that needs to be double checked.  These measurements could be scripted, and should not take more than 15 minutes per optic.  

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.

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.

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.

Added 100 mL H2O to Xtal chiller.  Diode chiller level is OK.  Filters appear clean.  FAMIS 6536.
