CP4 noise
Cyropump #4 was generating alarms today, both before and after Dewar fill. After trending signals, it appears the LLCV and exhaust noise has been growing over time. Pump fill level and LLCV setting stabilized after I opened the bypass exhaust valve. Wondering if the check valve is faulty. Will test tomorrow. I have removed and reinstalled it a couple times in the last month with TC testing.

QDP80 testing
Kyle, Chandra

We ran all QDP80 roughing pumps on site today for maintenance and for refresher (WP 6269); checked for gross leaks in foreline/turbo volumes. Found one at MX.

EY
as found pressure
foreline = 14 Torr
turbo = 0.58 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = 0.040 Torr
turbo = 0.036 Torr

MY
as found pressure
foreline = 2.3 Torr
turbo = 0.60 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = 0.013 Torr
turbo = 0.022 Torr

LVEA - vertex
as found pressure
foreline = 2.2 Torr
turbo = 0.67 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = 0.017 Torr
turbo = 0.022 Torr

LVEA - Xbeam manifold
as found pressure
foreline = 12 Torr
turbo = 0.63 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = 0.021 Torr
turbo = 0.039 Torr

LVEA - diagonal
as found pressure
foreline = 5.4 Torr
turbo = 0.54 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = 0.026 Torr
turbo = 0.039 Torr

LVEA - Ybeam manifold
as found pressure
foreline = 5.4 Torr
turbo = 0.48 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = 0.025 Torr
turbo = 0.034 Torr

MX
as found pressure
foreline = 780 Torr
turbo = 1.0 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = leaking
turbo = 0.084 Torr

EX
as found pressure
foreline = 6.6 Torr
turbo = 0.43 Torr
after rough pump down and following valve isolation
foreline = 0.017 Torr
turbo = 0.026 Torr


The leak in the X-mid fore line is between the Turbo Header isolation 
valve and the Turbo fore line Safety Valve. Removed and examined the 
NW seals but nothing obvious.

We verified each QDP80 shuts down with the absence of N2 purge seal gas supply except the Y-end QDP80 which did not shut down.

Y-mid pump turned off due to overheating because cooling water was not valved in initially. It leaked a small puddle of coolant and ran OK upon cooling.

We pumped down the purge air line in LVEA unintentionally.

Light power on PDA increased

WP 6276

[Changed the power level on PDA]

I went into the PSL today and changed the ND filter that was screwed on the PDA photodetector module (30415) in order to change the power level of the photo diode. Before the change the PDA DC singal read a relatively small value of 2.2 V. After the change, the DC signal became 3.8 V which is close to what PDB says 3.9 V. Indeed, the voltage readouts for the two diodes shown in the medm became close to each other (~ 4.5V). The new ND filter is actually a stuck of 0.2 and 0.5 abrorptice ND filters. It was an ND1 before.

[New setting for ISS inner loop]

The gain slider now should be 18 dB (which used to be 30 dB, 30415). This gain gives us a UGF of 54 kHz. This means that the open loop transfer function is almost identical to the one with PDB used as the in-loop sensor (29942) as expected. In fact, we can now switch the sensor between PDA and PDB without changing the reference offset or gain while keeping the loop closed. Though this typically changes the diffraction power by a few %. The new gain is now accepted in SDF.

The attached is a plot of the measured open loop transfer function with PDA. Also the raw data is attached. Also, I attach a noise spectrum seen at one of the analog output for measuring the transfer function.

H1 VCO Modification Complete

M. Pirello, A. Ramiez,  E Castrellon

Work Permit 6271

Per ECR E1600292 we applied the VCO capacitor mod to all 5 VCO's in the corner station and one at each end station.  This process includes replacing the 10nF capacitors on C79 and C80 with 2uF capacitors, and checking the voltage rails to verify elimination of the 420kHz oscillations.

Corner Station Units:

S1200563, S1200559, S1200560, S1200564, S1200558

End X:

S1200561

End Y:

S1200566

Notes:

End X, there was a very inconvient clean room pole directly in the path of extraction for the VCO from the rack.  We had to relocate 2 chassis to angle the VCO enough for removal.  All chassis were put back in their original positions before leaving.

End Y, this VCO required more capacitance to remove all of the 420kHz noise on the -24V Rail, with the addition of a 2nd 2uF capacitor, the noise was eliminated.

After going through my notes, the following should also be logged.

VCO S1200563 is outfitted with a PLL board.  This board is attached to the existing board via an SMA-T connector on the Low Noise VCO Board.  This connector was very loose when we opened up the chassis, and the end that is supposed to connect to the PLL board was disconnected and wedged between two VCO modules.  The SMA was very loose here.  We showed Richard this and he advised us to remove the SMA-T and the SMA jumper cable which was disconnected, we then used an SMA cable torque wrench to ensure proper torque on the connectors.

When we worked on the 2nd PLL VCO chassis (S1200564), we noticed that the SMA-T was torqued, and the SMA jumper was attached to the PLL board.

Main beam port could use first contact

We checked the cleanliness of the double paned port between the PSL and HAM1. The photo shows a smudge on the outside surface that extends into the center of the port. We think that a cleaning would help. There is dust on the inner pane, but I think the smudge on the outside is the most dangerous.

h1susauxb123 LV ESD Monitoring ADC Channel Discrepancy
[Stuart A, Jeff K]

While debugging and commissioning the LLO ITM LV ESD monitoring I noticed that there is an ADC channel discrepancy in the h1susauxb123 model (see below, just ITMX shown). It is noted that there is an unorthodox convention for the order of the LV ESD monitor channels (as given in D1500464), which is already taken account of in the library LVESD_STAGE_MONITOR_MASTER part (see below). 

However, in h1susauxb123, the ordering for the ESD quadrants assigned to ADC_7 mistakenly switch the order n.b. this occurs for both ITMX and ITMY LV ESD monitoring.

Therefore, I've made the correction to the l1susauxb123 model (see below, just ITMX shown), and LLO shall rebuild, reinstall and restart the model at the next opportunity.

Jumping line features in DARM and many motion channels
Andy, Jess, Josh, TJ

Following up alog 30790 and comments (range drop may be related to excess RM motion), we've found some very strange motion with apparently quantized jumps in frequency. This motion is seen in accelerometers near HAM1, in the nearby HAM HEPI L4Cs, in the RM mirror motion, and in some REFL and POP DC signals. Some of this motion seems to show up in DARM as well.

The first plot is a zoom in frequency on the kind of motion that we see in these channels. It looks like several lines which sometimes jump suddenly in frequency, then jump to another frequency, then another. It looks like a MIDI music file (or a music box). We've found this in many channels, but the clearest so far is in the HAM1 floor accelerometer. It's also in the ISCT1 accelerometer, and the RM OSEMs see it in some degrees of freedom (which is how we first noticed it). The HAM1 and HAM2 HEPI L4Cs see some of it, see second and third plots. Even the HAM6 accelerometer sees some of it, so it's not local just to HAM1/2 - but we haven't checked exactly how widespread it it. We've also checked at least in the HEPI that this was there at an earlier time in the day, and also two weeks prior.

The last plot is DARM, showing that this seems to couple at least in the 10 to 20 Hz region. That could be through the RMs somehow, or maybe through scatter from ISCT1. Since the beam diverter was closed (alog 30835), the next locks can check if this is through ISCT1.

What's causing this motion? It looks really peculiar. It's hard to pick it out in just a few minutes of data, because the lines are narrow and don't wander - they jump suddenly. So it may have gone un-noticed before, but it would be nice to understand it even if the coupling to DARM is easily fixed.

TITLE: 10/25 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Lock Aquisition
INCOMING OPERATOR: Jeff
SHIFT SUMMARY: Locking DRMI/PRMI was not easy, it required large adjustments and waiting a good amount of time. useism is also getting pretty high so I tried the WINDY_USEISM state, brought it back to WINDY because I couldnt tell which was better. Aside form that the commissioners are working.

jim.warner@LIGO.ORG - 12:39, Tuesday 25 October 2016 (30848)SEI

I should probably just remove or rename the WINDY_USEISM state. It may have a use, but I think people are taking the configuration guide on the SEI_CONF screen too literally. I'm reluctant to try to make the guide more accurate because I'm not a cubist. The WINDY_USEISM state should be thought of as a more wind resistant state than the high microseism configuration we used during O1 (USEISM in SEI_CONF). Anyone remember how hard locking was with 15mph winds and high microseism during our first observing run?

We are getting into new territory with the current configuration (implemented during the windy, low microseism summer), but looking at the locks last night, it looks like the WINDY configuration is still what we want to use. The five attached plots are the ISC_LOCK state, SEI_CONF state (40 is WINDY, 35 is WINDY_USEISM), the ETMX Z 30-100mhz STS BLRMS (in nm, so 1000=1 micron) and the corner station windspeed. The last plot shows all four channels together, red is the ISC state, blue the SEI_CONF state, green is the STS BLRMS, black is the wind. It's kind of a mess, but it gives a better feel for the time line.

Microseism was high over this entire period (around 1micron RMS), wind was variable, so this was a good time to test. I think the take away is that the WINDY state was sufficient to handle the high microseism for the 2  NLN locks over this stretch, and is very probably more robust against the wind than the WINDY_USEISM state.

This is great to know. I was pretty sure that you said WINDY is good for almost every situation, but I thought it worth a try.
