Title: 03/18/2016, Evening Shift 23:00 – 07:00 (16:00 – 00:00) All times in UTC (PT)
Support: N/A               
Incoming Operator: N/A

Shift Detail Summary:  Working with Stefan & Hang to relock the IFO. Had the TMS(s) realigned and the X-Arm green. While working on Y-Arm green, took a mag 6.2 EQ off Atka Alaska, which rang everything back up, tripping the ITMY ISI WD several times. Decided to call it a night and try again tomorrow.  

Hang, Jeff, Stefan

After all the grouting we had to do a rough manual arm alignment to see the transmitted beam.

After that we ran the baffle alignment script:

/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/asc/h1/scripts/ditherAlign.py

We also had to adjust H1:AOS-xxxx_BAFFLEPD_x_NOMINAL for thje script to catch the baffles (for some reason they were changed after O1).

That all went fine until the next double earthquake hit - Atka, Ak, Magtnitude 5.0 & 6.2. The attached alignment should at bleast let the green arms flash.

Richard M, Filiberto C, Peter K, Ed M, Gerardo M.

Lost power to the Y-End station Instrument air compressor.

Initial inspection revealed the circuit breaker had tripped.

Found main lead wires shorted against a stud.

Wires were replaced and power restored to Y-End station Instrument air compressor.

CP7 went into alarm due to the lack of air, but is now recuperating, it reached a low of 81.3% full, as of now is at 86.2% and green.

Late entry from Thursday, I installed the new Newtonian Noise model on h1oaf0, it is called h1ngn. At the same time Hugh and I restarted the BSC ISI models (except for itmy which had been done previously). We did a single DAQ restart to sync these changes.

The DAQ restarted with no problems, but later in the evening h1fw0 went unstable and restarted 7 times between 20:42 and 23:42 PDT and then became stable again.

GV 1,2,5,7 are now open. GV 5&7 opened with 40 psi air.

Gate annuli valves were opened and closed again. Values of the annulus IPs:

GV-1: 5 mA
GV-2: 7 mA
GV-5: 2 mA
GV-7: 2 mA

Turbo pumping stations' 10" valve closed on X & Y and shut down completely. IPs are open to spools.

Turbo on diagonal is backed by local scroll only. QDP80s are OFF. Kolbelco is OFF. Chilled water line is still open in mech. room for diagonal turbo pump.

Current pressures:

X: 2.6e-8 Torr
Y: 2.5e-8 Torr
Diag: 6.0e-6 Torr

WHAM6 completed this afternoon.  Note--Swapped out old Capacitive Position Regulator Board D1001474-v1 for a v3 model.  This was on the CPS2 Satellite Chassis.  The platform Isolated with no issue.

So now all the LHO CPSs are on the 71 MHz timing sync.  WP 5773, FRS 4554 aka II 1058, ECR E1500244, D1400363

After the weekend of quiet, I'll compare befores and afters.

John, Gerardo, Chandra

Opened the diagonal volume to the turbo pumping station at 10:00 local time (PDT) at 0.8 Torr. 

Current pressure is below pirani range but cold cathode won't turn on yet.

Gerardo, John, Chandra

Leak checked:

Full range gauge conflat on BSC7
Full range gauge conflat on BSC8
Two viewports on X spool
Two viewports on Y spool

No leaks found!

Background on X was 1.0e-9 Torr-l/s
Background on Y was <1e-11 Torr-l/s

Sprayed each flange with helium for 20 sec. 

11:03 EX transitioned to LASER HAZARD.

Re WP 5774 FR 4694 (PKA II 1193)

To offload the ISI witness point motion calculation from the SUS to the ISI which runs slower and has more computation headroom.  See 25913 for original update to ISIs--the SUSPOINT being the important thing.  Looked at comparing the calibration of the ISI motion in the SUS 16k machine vs the 4k ISI machine in LHO aLog 25993--Jeff & I may look more closely at this but we think all the differences are explainable.   The original updated library parts were modified to capture the data in frames--see 26128.  After restarting the ITMY model to test these changes and adapting the implementation for ISIs which have multiple suspensions (See Attached) earlier this week, yesterday, 17 March, the remainder of the BSC ISI were restarted.  All restarted fine--26117.

This morning, the Calibration filters have been loaded and following JK's aLog 4553, I've populated all the new BSC ISI CARTESIAN to EULER matrices.

I believe this means that DetChar can repoint the detchar plots from the SUS model to the ISI models.  Once there and we are happy, the SUS calcs can be removed.

The new channels are H1:ISI-{isi}_SUSPOINT_{sus}_EUL_{euler dof}MON where

isi = ITMY BS ITMX ETMX ETMY

sus = ITMY BS ITMX ETMX ETMY TMSX TMSY  [The TMS projection matrices are identical to the ETM's so there is no new info there at the moment.]

euler dof = L T V R P V

Ah ha!  I see that the TMS matrices on the SUS do have values distinct from the ETMs.   I will update the database

/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/isc/common/projections/ISI2SUS_projection_file.mat

to include the TMSs and correct the ISI CART2EUL TMS values shortly.

10:11 EX transitioned to LASER SAFE

h1conlog1-master has still not connected to 1736 channels since the maintenance work yesterday (alog 26112). I checked the unmonitored channel list and with the exception of two, they are all of the channels that are not read-only in /opt/rtcds/lho/h1/target/h1ecatc1/h1ecatc1plc1epics/autoBurt.req, that is h1ecatc1 PLC1. The two other channels are H1:PEM-CS_DUST_LAB1_ENABLE and H1:PEM-CS_DUST_LAB2_ENABLE, which I confirmed do not respond to a caget. I can do a caget from h1conlog1-master on the couple of unmonitored channels on h1ecatc1 PLC1 that I tried. It is also worth noting that conlog-test-master has the same issue with the same channels. I tried restarting conlog-test-master and it still does not connect to these channels.

09:48 EX transitioned to LASER HAZARD.

Log for work done Monday March 14 under WP 5776 and WP 5777.

The BSC7 X2 PT170 and BSC8 Y2 PT180 Pirani and Cold Cathode vacuum gauges were replaced with Inficon BPG402-SE EtherCAT vacuum gauges. Filiberto connected these to the second EtherCAT port of the h1ecatc1 computer:
'h1ecatc1 (in MSR) Local Area Connection 4' - 'ethernet cable' - 'CU1521 EtherCAT media converter (Multimode) (in MSR)' - 'fiber cable' - 'CU1521 EtherCAT media converter (Multimode) (in LVEA)' - 'ethernet cable' - 'CU1128 EtherCAT junction box (in LVEA)'
The CU1128 EtherCAT junction box has 8 ports: Port 1 is the incoming connection. Ports 2 and 3 were left empty. BPG402 on BSC7 (Box 294 in the system manager) was connected to port 4. BPG402 on BSC8 (Box 295 in the system manager) was connected to port 5. Ports 6, 7 and 8 were left empty.

I added channels for these in PLC1 and updated the system manager. I committed the changes to svn and restarted everything. I may have also gotten some changes that Joe B. committed to svn for PLC3 (see attached screenshot).

When I restarted the EPICS IOC the script that automatically copies over the generated error medm screens, INI and autoburt request files failed. A screenshot of the error is attached. I used WinSCP to copy over the INI and autoburt request files by hand.

The following channels were added for these gauges:

H1:VAC-LX_X2_PT170_PRESS_VALID
H1:VAC-LX_X2_PT170_PRESS_OVERRANGE
H1:VAC-LX_X2_PT170_PRESS_UNDERRANGE
H1:VAC-LX_X2_PT170_PRESS_TORR
H1:VAC-LX_X2_PT170_PRESS_SENSOR
H1:VAC-LX_X2_PT170_PRESS_TRIP
H1:VAC-LY_Y2_PT180_PRESS_VALID
H1:VAC-LY_Y2_PT180_PRESS_OVERRANGE
H1:VAC-LY_Y2_PT180_PRESS_UNDERRANGE
H1:VAC-LY_Y2_PT180_PRESS_TORR
H1:VAC-LY_Y2_PT180_PRESS_SENSOR
H1:VAC-LY_Y2_PT180_PRESS_TRIP
