Per FAMIS #6870, ran & checked ISI CPS signals for the BSCs & HAMs.  Both measurements are attached. 

Comparing to measurement from 10/20 there are no glaring high-frequency issues.  Small differences are the following:

• BSC ITMx Stage1 appears to have smaller/less lines in the 40-60Hz band.

• BSC ETMx Stage1 appears to have more lines in the 20-30Hz band.

Weekly site wide meeting at 3 PM local.

SEI
Jim W. recentered BRS at end Y
Hugh was not able to complete guardian change for HEPI pringle mode DOF (WP 6286). Changes reverted. Will consult with TJ.
Operators should take note of Jim's alog regarding SEI configuration.

TCS
Nutsinee reported in an alog that the temperature channels for both TCS laser channels are glitching.

EE
Working on remote access to newly installed Beckhoff safety terminals.
Bad Beckhoff module replaced in corner chassis 3.

CDS
Tried to install an additional ADC card for PEM in the h1oaf IO chassis. Doing so prevented booting even to the BIOS screen. This glitched all of the models on the dolphin network. The ADC card was removed and the front end models restarted. No changes were made to the models on h1oaf. Testing the ADC card in the test stand reproduces the same situation.
LLO range is invalid in DMT, being addressed.

PSL
Added polarization minimization.

VAC
Kyle looking for an opportunity to go to end stations.

FAC
Ongoing search for a water leak.

Transfer functions measured after circuit modifications made to the injection locking field box.

    The gain voltage setting behaviour does not appear to be correct.

INCOMING OPERATOR: Patrick

SHIFT SUMMARY: Bad. All locklosses tonight were caused by PI 18043Hz (Mode27). See alog31111 and comments therein. There were 6 locklosses total. I didn't keep track of all the lockloss times. None of the modes were PLL locked but only one or two casued trouble. Mode 26 also rung up but was able to damp once I get the BP filter to match the peak frequency. Not as straight forward for Mode 27. 

LOG:

08:50 Lockloss

12:06 CO2X 0.2W --> 0.4W

12:09 Intent bit set

12:25 Intent bit dropped. CO2X Guardian finds lock point

12:32 Intent bit dropped. CO2X Guardian finds lock point

12:37 Lockloss

13:05 NLN. CO2X 0.2W --> 0.4W

13:39 Lockloss. Peter wants to make some measurement with the PSL so I kept the IFO down.

14:34 Peter out

Note:

• I also removed I_M saturation warning from the Verbal Alarm script (line 244, I_M=104) so I can listen to something else that's actually important. It got to the point where the alarm would complains every 2 seconds even at NLN. IM3 was saturating but wasn't causing locklosses. I tried clearing history but it didn't help. I guess somebody will have to move it before the next initial alignment.
• First half of the night I tried to make some injection so I can measure frequency noise TF. But since I'm a noob I was able to make DARM spectrum rise only at f>1000Hz and not the entire frequency range. I quit after PI became a consistent issue

Measured transfer functions after yesterday's circuit board modifications.  The MEDM gain slider
was increased from 0 in increments of 3.

Started yesterday evening. Doesn't seems to be equally spaced.

I checked to make sure the line and the BP matches. Changing the phase both on the main PI medm screen and on the damping filter doesn't make a different. The PLL green light is on but Shelia mentioned that PLL is not actually locked and I don't know how to make it locked (some other modes with PLL green light indicator also have red PLL lock status). I also tried to zero the gain as Sheila suggested.

STATE of H1: Nominal Low Noise/Commission

OUTGOING OPERATOR: Ed

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT: Wind: 16mph Gusts, 13mph 5min avg Primary useism: 0.03 μm/s Secondary useism: 0.29 μm/s

QUICK SUMMARY: Before Stefan left he asked me to make some TF measurement. So I'm going to spend some time doing that before setting the intent bit. Locking went smoothly.

After today's changes to the PMC servo, which included increasing the loop gain, we noticed a familiar bump around 4.2kHz in DARM.  Lowering the PMC gain from 16dB to 0dB made the bump smaller in DARM (see images).  Given the coherence with REFL9, it seems that this is coupling through frequency noise.

We also made a small exploration around the already good PMC input beam alignment.  This didn't have much impact, but it revealed that small changes in the alignment can change the input offset to the PMC servo.  That is, the offset which maximizes the PMC throughput can be changed with small alignment tweaks. Using this effect, we made a 0mV input close to optimal (see second image).

Degassed 2 nude ion gauges in the corner station, PT170 and PT180.  We did the degassing twice since the first time the degassing was terminated too early for both gauges, we sent second command before the 3 minutes were up, and it turns out that if you do send the command degassing stops.  As usual pressure went up to 10^-07 torr for both gauges while degassing then, trended down after.
