Reboot of h1dmt0 
The production DMT computer, h1dmt0, was hung. (I could not do an "ls" on the DMT monitor logs directory, and SenseMonitor_H1
and H1_llhoft frames had stopped showing up. This was perhaps related to the mornings DAQ reboot, as the SenseMonitor_H1 frames stopped showing up shortly after this. The H1_llhoft frames stopped around the time of the morning update of gds on h1dmt3, though supposedly this should not have caused any problems on h1dmt0.)
After a discussion with Dave Barker, a reboot of h1dmt0 seems to have fixed things.

PSL Weekly FAMIS Tasks (FAMIS 3658 & 8430)

After this morning's work in the PSL, I completed the weekly FAMIS tasks.

HPO Pump Diode Current Adjust (FAMIS 8430)

No adjustment was made as I could not get the laser power to increase.  I also attempted to adjust the operating temperatures of the DBs, and that also did not increase the laser output power.  Therefore the operating temperatures and currents of the HPO DBs remains unchanged from last week.  A screenshot of the PSL Beckhoff main screen is attached for future reference.  This completes FAMIS 8430.

PSL Power Watchdog Reset (FAMIS 3658)

The power watchdogs were reset during this morning's PSL work.  This completes FAMIS 3658.

Spot positions now vs. 17 June

Per JimW's suggestion, I had a look at our beam spot positions on the test masses for now (last A2L measurement from this morning, before maintenence) versus a time on 17 June 2017 (16 June local) right after Sheila moved spots to drastically improve our range. 

In the attached plot, the green squares are the old good times, and red circles are the latest measurement.  Listed in the title for each optic is the total distance between the old and current spots.  You can see that ETMY is basically in exactly the same place, both ITMs have moved a little bit, but ETMX has moved a lot. 

So, one thing we should try today is moving the POP QPD and SOFT offsets such that we get closer to these old spots, and see if that improves our range.

Is it not possible that the change in IMC alignment / spot positions after the Montana EQ (see LHO aLOG 37363) has also decreased (or at least changed) the PSL jitter suppression, and therefore also showing up as poor range? 

If so, we should try moving the IMC to its pre-EQ position as as well.

DIAG_MAIN guardian code changed

The RF90 channels on the front end h1asc were renamed to RF72 this morning, but their Beckhoff equivalent channels retained their RF90 naming. This upset DIAG_MAIN, which checks for setting equivalency between Beckhoff whitening and h1asc anti-whitening. The code loops through channels assuming an identical core name.

I modified sys/h1/guardian/DIAG_MAIN.py to remove ASC-AS_A_RF90 from the generic loop. I added a new tuple to cover the ASC exception that RF72_AWHITEN_SET on the front end maps to RF90_WHITEN_FILTER in Beckhoff land.

Here is the SVN differences for the changes I made:

I have made a number of medm screens for this new system. The attached are screenshots of a couple of the new medms. When we locked the interferometer with a low power (~2W) after the maintenance today, I briefly tried phase-locking the audio modulation signal at 205 Hz, but didn't really succeed. We will continue commissioning them later.

Additionally, I have edited the ISC_DRMI guardian so that it doesn't look at ASAIR_B_RF90 any more when checking whether the ASCs needs to be slowly engaged or not. With this modification in it, we succeeded in locking the interferometer multiple times today. So it seems functioning as expected. After the test today, we restored the RF hardware back to nominal -- no 72 MHz source and very small 118 MHz modulation.

CW GAIN issue has been resolved. The CW_GAIN and CW_TRAMP values were being monitored by Guardian, which forced the IFO out of observing when those values changed; those values were changed due to a loss of hardware injections and subsequent restart by the psinject script. Dave Barker and I have changed the gain and ramp to be unmonitored channels again.

Notes attached.

Change undone after the decision was made that losing IFO lock was the desired behavior and issue was mitigated by sparse nature of psinject reset. See aLOG 37447.
