Today in BSC3 - ITMx removal

While teams worked on projects in HAM2, 3, and 5, we started working towards ITMx lower QUAD extraction this morning.  Mark D, TJ, Travis and I spent 2/3 of the work day installing the BSC install arm on the west side of the door on the BSC3.  We then loaded it up with the 5-axis stage and the elevator.  All went well.

Travis and I then went in to start the disassembly of the ITMx suspension, removing top stage BOSEMs, plates, and cams, then lifting and lowering stages in order to make slack on the UIM-Top Mass wire segments.  We added shields everywhere.  Tomorrow Travis will work on decabling the reaction chain lower masses and detaching the wire segments.  I'll redirect effort to the SRM optic swap for the day.

LHO SEI Activity/Status Update---HAM3 & HAM5

Shot elevations with the Optical Auto-Level on the HAM3 Optical Table--Will report separately.

HAM5--All Damping installed except the Horz GS13 Can damper on Corner3 East Side tucked into the space with the HAM6 Septum.  B&K hammering was completed and TMDs await retuning.  The Blade access walls have NOT been replaced.  Once TMDs are ready, will need about 2 hours to get all back buttoned up.

MISC--Packed a couple CC wafers away.  Pulled ISI Oplev Mirror, undogged SR3 front baffle-it is still on the table.

Turned on CO2X flow meter averaging

I set up the averaging on the internal menu of the CO2X flow meter to 5s per LLO aLOG 35984. The CO2Y flow meter is inaccessible right now with BSC3 being open.

The effect can be seen in the attached image.

Ring heater RTD status - resistance check

I went and checked the cables from the ring heaters where they are attached to the RH drivers in the CER. I wanted to confirm what pins are connected correctly to the RH RTDs (out of the 4 wires that go to the RTD) - see D1200505. The following tables summarize the measurements.

Do you have any information about when these broke?  Have these been connected to readout channels continuously?

aidan.brooks@LIGO.ORG - 08:09, Wednesday 27 September 2017 (38799)

As far as we know these were broken during clean and bake (or during assembly). Given that we didn't have multiple spare cables, we couldn't replace them.

Yes - these have been connected to readout channels continuously (see D1003254).

PSL Weekly FAMIS Tasks (FAMIS 3669 & 8441)

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.

HPO DB Operating Currents
  Operating Currents (A)
Old New
DB1 50.2 50.4
DB2 52.8 52.9
DB3 52.8 52.9
DB4 52.8 52.9

 

HPO DB Operating Temperatures
  Operating Temperatures (°C)
DB1 DB2 DB3 DB4
Old New Old New Old New Old New
D1 28.0 27.5 19.5 19.5 21.0 21.0 23.0 22.0

D7 28.0 27.5 19.0 19.0 21.5 21.5 22.5 21.5

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.

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.
