State of H1: new OMC is in HAM6 - needs further work, shutter is closed - no IMC, site activities taking advantage of the down time

Activities: all times UTC

15:00 - JeffB - new dust monitor, #7, sampling same volume as #6 - test of system and low dust counts

15:45 - Richard - WP6053 - EX and EY Low voltage ESD driver modifications

   Added a new dust monitor at HAM6 for huddle testing. The new monitor (#7) is strapped to the back of the support stand for the existing monitor (#6). To the crew working around the NE corner of HAM6, please be aware of the new monitor. I have not adjusted the alarm levels. This monitor will be removed shortly after the HAM6 vent is finished.

Summary

- A panel of the OMC black glass shroud with a burned spot was removed. LHO aLOG 28861

- The new OMC is now suspended in the OMC SUS

- We still need balancing work of the suspension

- Once the OMC breadboard is nicely balanced, the beam will be aligned.

- We'll performe the electrical function check.

Details

- The new OMC container was moved from the bonding lab to LVEA

- The weight of the old and new OMC was compared. All the balance masses were moved from the old OMC to the new OMC. Then to reduce the exess mass of the new OMC, 10g mass was removed from each ballast at the DCPD side. (10g+10g was removed.) This made the new OMC 2g lighter then the old one. Betsy keeps the actual numbers.

- The first contact films were removed at the chamber side. Some residuals were seen on non-cavity mirror optics. They were removed by another trial of the FC.

- Then the new OMC was installed on the OMC Suspension.

- The cabling of the OMC was restored.

- The locks of the suspension masses and the blades were released. Now the OMC Breadboad is freely suspended.

- The balance of the OMC breadboard was reviewed. One of the corner is about 1mm too high. As we already adjusted the total weight, this should be done by moving the ballast mass on the breadboard.

I've begun the roll out of individual state switch-ability for the PUM / L2 coil drivers. This is essentially complete for the ETMs (just a few more aesthetic MEDM screen changes are needed). I've confirmed all functionality behaves as expected. I've reconciled the SDF "down" snap before hand, and made sure that all settings were restored, including initializing/accepting the new EPICs records that come with this update.

Though the model changes have been made to the simulink model for the ITMs (because the ITMs and ETMs are using a generic L2 stage library part), they have not yet been compiled or installed, and MEDM screens have not been updated (because they now have separate MEDM infrastructure [see LHO aLOG 27641], generic changes to all QUADs like this takes twice as long). Stay tuned for more details and screenshot in tomorrow's "it's complete" aLOG.

Still to Do:
- Edit EUL2OSEM MEDM screens to support the ramping matrix on ETMs
- Compile / Install / Restart ITM models (with accompanying DAQ restart)
- Edit ITM QUAD OVERVIEW and BIO screens for all the same changes as I've done to the ETM QUAD overview
- commit everything to the SVN
- Make sure that the ISC_LOCK guardian hits the "LOAD MATRIX" button on the PUMs in the DOWN state.
- Integrate new "three wheel motion" coil driver switching into the ISC_LOCK guardian in the COIL_DRIVERS state

The HV power cable for the Y2-8 ion pump has been repaired. The damaged section was cut off, and the cable was spliced together. Cable was tested with the HI-POT tester to 5KV.

I noticed (somewhat surprised) that we run the ITMs in distributed design (the ETMs are off-loaded). Unless someone remembers a good reason for this, I would recommend switching both to offloaded design. We require a balancing of ETM and ITM transfer function for the HARD/SOFT basis change, which is a bit of a nightmare if we run ETMs and ITMs in different modes.

This also means that by AS top stage offloading implementation (alog 28763) did not work for the ITMs since I relied on the signal flowing through the L1 filter banks. We will have to redo this.

As a follow up to (https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=28749) we have a build of the framewriter on h1fw2 that splits the producer thread into two components.

Here is a sample timing:

producer thread timings
 recv min:0.0592079 mean:0.0624186 max:0.0642519
producer crc thread timings
 full min:0.0259149 mean:0.0270363 max:0.0351679
 crc  min:0.014359 mean:0.0144825 max:0.0150859
 xfer min:0.0115559 mean:0.0125535 max:0.0200801

The producer thread does nothing but receiving data.  Here we notice the time to receive is increased to the full 1/16s.  We believe this is largely a busy wait while it waits for the data to come in.

The secondary thread (producer crc) is now doing the crc calculations and pushing the data stream into the main buffers.  We will watch this over night and see how the system is running tomorrow.

While trying to take the ETM images at EndX today  to find the position of the Pcal beams we notice the following things:

1. Blocking the beam at receiver modules with beam dump before it enters the integrating sphere helps to reduce the scattered light (slightly).

2. The optical lever needs to be turned off to get any decent picture showing the Pcal beams on it. The optical lever light completely obscures the Pcal beams. (See attached Pic 1).

3. Take pictures with illuminator off to get the the Pcal beam spot on it. Use small f-number to get Pcal beam on focus. (see attached Pic 2).

4. Keeping all the settings from 3, turn illuminator on and increase the f-number to max to get all the features on test mass (see attached Pic 3).

HAM5 and HAM6 are well above the reference trace. In chamber work?

Work Permits, Maintenance Day 2016 August 02

Counts are attached.

Jenne, Jeff, Robert, Nutsinee, Dave:

Jenne added the CBRS system to the h1ngn model. This system requires four DAC channels. Robert has given up four PEM channels for this temporary test system.

All models on h1oaf0 were restarted. It was necessary to restart the IOP model when DAC channels are moved between models in order to rescan the channel allocations. Because this in turn requires a restart of h1tcscs, Nutsinee tested disconnecting the temperature control cable at the mezanine chiller to see if we could avoid the chiller trips normally related to h1tcscs restarts.

The restart procedure was:

Nutsinee disconnects temp control cable at TCS chiller

All models were shutdown

h1iopoaf0 started

h1pemcs, h1oaf and h1ngn models started (these models use the 18bit DAC)

h1tcscs, h1odcmaster, h1calcs, h1susprocpi models started

Nutsinee reconnects the temp control cable

The chiller did not trip, this was a successful procedure.

The 8 channel 18bit DAC allocation is:

h1ngn (cbrs) chans 0-3

h1pemcs chans 4-6

h1oaf chan 7

Yesterday during maintenance, Krishna, Michael and I went to EY and recenterd BRSY. Finicky business, but it's done now. BRSY is running again, so we can return to using the normal "Windy" SEI_CONF state for the ISIs. Attached first trend is the last 10 days of the driftmon, noise in the middle is from when the BRS went out of range over the weekend, green on the right is the BRS re-equilibrating after we closed the enclosure.

Second attached trend is 120 days showing several of the resets of this BRS. Looks like the rate of drift is still slowing, hopefully we can go another couple of months.

RPN: 35W- no change

        200W- no change    

FRQ: 35W- no change from 10Hz to 1K. Control signal is better than last week from 1-10Hz. Error signal higher at HF.

        200W- no change

PNT: 35W- no change

         200W- no changes to speak of. High peaks at 100Hz, 1K and HF noise.

MSC: 35W-  no change. TEM₁₀ looks a bit high. HOM power and cts are down marginally from last week

        200W- no significant change. Plot actually looks slightly better than last week despite no adjustments. Errors during measurement can be seen in the .pdf below.
