LVEA Particle Count Trends - 24 Hour
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.

DBB relative power noise scan
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.

Today's in-chamber vent report

- 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.)

CER rack modifications

(Fil, Marc, Daniel)

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.

TCS userapps SVN updated

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.

Post Vent Survey of HAM2 HAPI Piers and ISI Optical Table

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.

H1 ISI HAM3 Blade (Re)Tuned Mass Damper Results
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.

SQZ: added ADC card to h1lsc0 IO Chassis, powered h1asc0 down for IO Chassis move

WP7162 Daniel, Marc and Dave

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!

Diagnostic breadboard alignment touch 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.

formatted dust trend results to group each monitor

I have modified the check_dust_monitors_are_working script to group the 0.3µm and 0.5µm lines together to make the output easier to read. In clean conditions the 0.5µm count is usually zero whereas the 0.3µm count is usually non-zero.

Removal and replacement of PSL ISS 2nd loop PD array; installation of strain relief

RickS, JiianLiu, KentaroModushi, HughR

To enable access to bolt holes in the HAM2 table top for ISI damper installation, earlier this week we removed the improvised strain relief for the ISS PD array cables and moved the ISS PD array.   After completion of the ISI damper installation, we re-positioned the ISS PD array (against stops that had been installed before removing it) and installed the strain relief hardware that had been designed since the first installation of the ISS array for H1 (see D1101059-v5.PDF, sheet 2, zone D3).

Photos with identifying titles are attached below. 

Note that photos of the dust monitor screen showing counts measured just inside the West door opening of HAM2 are included.
