Other notes:
End stations: end Y IRIG B chassis power cycled; end X, end Y high voltage turned on; end X, end Y HEPI pump station computers started; end X, end Y ISI coil drivers chassis reset; end Y Beckhoff computer turned on
Corner station: TCS chillers turned on; HEPI pump controllers turned on (Jeff B. had to push power button on distribution box); Sheila power cycled all Beckhoff chassis in CER; Sheila turned on the AOS baffle PD chassis in LVEA

I started the h0video IOC on h0epics2.

Conlog was running upon arrival. However it crashed during the recovery. It still needs to be brought back.

Joe D. and Chris worked on beam tube enclosure sealing.

There was some trouble starting the corner station HEPI pump controller computer.

There was some trouble finding the strip tool template for the wind speeds. I'm not sure if it was found or if TJ created a new one.

Things to add to the 'short power outage recovery' document:
- Turn on high voltage supplies
- Push reset on ISI coil drivers
- HEPI pump controller and pumps
- TCS chillers
- TCS lasers
- ALS lasers
- Turn on video server

Upon arrival, on the CDS overview, under the Slow Controls diagnostics, all of the corner station Beckhoff PLCS were green and updating. All of the end station Beckhoff PLCS had white boxes.

Corner Station:
I was informed that the TCSX laser was not working. There were errors on some of the terminals in the system manager, so I asked Sheila to powercycle all of the chassis in the CER. This seemed to fix the errors and the TCSX laser. She also found all of the AOS Baffle PD chassis in the LVEA off and turned them on. I burtrestored all the PLCs for h1ecatc1 to 6:10 AM PST.

End Stations:
Richard turned on or powercycled h1ecaty1 (I do not know if he found it off). I believe the Beckhoff PLCS for end Y turned green and started updating on the CDS overview after this. I was able to log into h1ecatx1. I found that the EPICS IOC had not started cleanly (see attached screenshot). I quit it and started it again. The Beckhoff PLCS for end X turned green and started updating on the CDS overview after this.

The EtherCAT vacuum gauges did not come back cleanly. All of them were reporting a pressure of flat 0. We have not been able to bring back the gauges in the beam tube enclosures and they have been disabled in the system managers. At end Y, on Vacuum Gauge ETM, under Process Data, Daniel hit 'Load info from device'. On Vacuum Gauge NEG, under Process Data, Daniel toggled the checkboxes under PDO Assignment. For some reason, once he did this and activated the configuration and relinked the variables, the gauges started reporting reasonable values. This did not work for me at end X. If I just hit 'Load info from device' or toggled the checkboxes, and then hit activate configuration, the gauges would start reporting reasonable values. However, as soon as I tried to relink the variables, the data went invalid again. I ended up having to remove and add back the gauges in the system manager and relink them. After that they seemed to work. None of these changes have been (and probably should not be) commited to subversion. We do not know the root cause of these problems.

I burtrestored all the PLCS for h1ecatx1 to 6:10 AM PST. At some point I did the same for h1ecaty1, but I do not remember if the IOC got restarted since. Things seem to be working for it for now, so I am not attempting to burtrestore it again.

The message:

We had a look at the upconversion we would expect from the quadratic response of DC readout.  The message is that the large DARM residual at around 3Hz (due to our LSC feedforward) limits our noise near 10Hz, and upconversion around the calibration lines is about a factor of 4 below DARM at 40 Hz. 

Details:

The DCPD photocurrent is proportional to the power on them:

P_DC offset current (20mA),  G_opt is the optical gain (3.3 mA/pm), and x_0 is the darm offset (12 pm).

If we inject a line we expect to see upconversion at the second harmonic, the amplitude of the second harmonic (seen in the DCPDs) over the fundamental should be:

This is the explanation for the upconversion mentioned in alogs 25001 and 21240 .

Since the quadratic term should be small we can approximate the DARM residual, and use it to predict the noise in the DC PDs due to upconversion:

We took the data from a time when I was injecting a 6 Hz line into DARM and made this projection.  The upconversion of the 6 Hz peak predicts the 12 Hz peak well. 

The rms of our DARM residual is dominated by bad feedforward around 3 Hz, this is upconverted and limits our sensitivity at around 10 Hz.  There is also upconversion around the calibration lines that is about a factor of 4 below DARM near 40 Hz. 

Restarted all computers and services on x1 test stand following power failure.

The TCS CO2X laser was down due to the power outage this morning along with many other systems. Jeff Bartlett reported that the chiller was tripped and he restarted it. We later restarted the power supply on the mezzaine which then brought the system back up. However, the timeseries of the flow alarm didn't imply that the alarm was tripped when the chiller was shut off and the laser output continued to have non-zero reading for over an hour until the frontend was restarted. Moral of the story is, some of the channels would continue to record fault values after a power outage until the frontend gets restarted. Another moral of the story, maybe we should move TCS CO2 power supply to the CER.

Here are some recovery actions I have performed:

• cleared the FE-DC CRC errors
• wrote script to set the SDF reference table from safe.snap to OBSERVE.snap, ran on all systems other than HPI/ISI (already done by Hugh)
• restarted HW CW process (psinject) on h1hwinj1

Restarted weather station IOC's at EY, MY, MX, and EX following the power failure.

Notables:

HEPI CS Pump Controller required a couple power cycles before it would respond to ssh for restart.

HAM2 ISI tripped on CPSs during Isolation--Jim suggests we increase the DC Bias Ramp time.

All other platforms started and isolated without trouble.

All SDF snaps have been set to OBSERVE.  Still some reds as Jim is setting up blends and sensor correction.

Noticed that the pressure at X-End continued to climb after the power outage, we drove to X-End and found the controller on "standby mode", restarted the HV manually.

We then changed the controller settings for Auto HV Start to "Enabled".

We have begun recovery from an unexpected power outage that occurred at 7:44 PST and lasted for 3 minutes (as noted from the UPS).

   These are the 60 day trends for the PSL crystal and diode chillers.

STATE Of H1: Locking

SUPPORT: Jenne and Sheila

INCOMING OPERATOR: N/A

SHIFT SUMMARY: Commissioning activities listed from previous log

ACTIVITY LOG:

00:33  Patrick cleared the HEPI accumulators

This afternoon I took measurements of the DHARD Yaw loop at different PSL powers.  In addition to general characterization of the O1 IFO, I will use this data to verify the ASC loop model.  Once we're confident in the loop model at powers that we can measure, we will use it to try to design ASC filters that we can use for high power operation in a few months.

In the first attached screenshot and .xml file, the measurement at 2 W is blue, the measurement at 10 W is orange, and the measurement at 20 W is red. 

The 2 W measurement was taken at the DC_READOUT state, and only FM6 of the DHARD Yaw filter bank was engaged. This measurement was taken from a lock stretch earlier in the day, using 40 points at 3 avg each. In the xml file, the 2 W data is saved as references 0-4.  In the second screenshot and .xml file, I include some higher resolution measurements of the peaks, with 5 avg for each point.

The 10 W measurement was taken at INCREASE_POWER, and both FM2 and FM6 were engaged.  This measurement used 60 points at 5 avg each. In the xml file, the 10 W data is saved as references 5-9.   I had modified the lscparams.py guardian code to stop the power increase at 10 W, but I have reverted that change, so everything should still be as normal.

The 20 W measurement was taken at INCREASE_POWER, and both FM2 and FM6 were engaged.  This measurement used 60 points at 5 avg each. In the xml file, the 20 W data is the "live" traces.

The 10W and 20W measurements today are broadly consistent with the measurements from 31 July 2015 (alog 20084), which is good.

Evan, Kiwamu,

As some of us have already noticed, there is a broadband noise with a 1/f^{0.5} shape in frequency from 60 to 200 Hz. This noise is unidentified.

Do not believe any statements in this report until futher analaysis. Something is fishy with the claibration of the cross-spectrum.

We are planing to check how stable this noise level is over the course of the entire O1.

The below shows an example spectrum of DARM.

Blue curves are twenty spectra of DARM (aka C01 frame, converted into displacement), each of which is made by the Pwelch with Hanning, detrended, 50% overwrap for a 12 minutes time series. The data starts at a GPS time of 1134604817. Green curves are the square-root of twenty cross-power-spectra of DCPD A and B which are reconstructed from the sum and null streams of the DCPDs. The DARM suppression effect was removed from the sum signal. The cross-spectra are then calibrated to the displacement using the latest O1 DARM model of the calibration group. No time varying correction (i.e. kappas) is applied. Red line is a 1/f^{0.5} line to show how steep the slope of the green curves is. I also attach the fig file.

Corey, Adam,

We're just about to start a detchar safety injection.

Revisiting measurements Jeff made in the field [1],[2],[3] and new measurements with those I took in the EE lab, we compared with the UIM residuals measurements obtained using the Pcal and ALS DIFF measurements. Attached is a figure showing the electronics chain and comparing with the residuals obain. We find that the BOSEM electronics account for some of the residuals found in the UIM measurements, but not all. At this point, we have only clues, but no solid evidence for what remains of the residuals. We have three theories:

1. UIM to TST mechanical dynamics are not modeled correctly. Violin mode frequencies are PUM --> TST frequencies [~505, 1k, 1.5k, etc.] from G1501372, page 5, but shouldn't they be UIM to PUM mode frequencies [~420, 800, 1.6k, etc.]?
2. We are missing some frequency response in the actuator. We had been claiming it is the inductance but the attached plot shows that it is not enough. Is there some frequency dependence in the actuation from the BOSEM? Maybe the old "cross-coupling" effect of the BOSEM from the TOP-2-TOP mass transfer functions?
3. Is there a flaw in the (PCAL/DARM) x (DARM/UIM) / Model measurement?

I set up in the EE shop a UIM driver, satellite box, and BOSEM to repeat Jeff's measurements and verify we observe the same effects. Indeed, I observed similar issues that Jeff had observed in his measurements from the floor. We put these measurements on top of the UIM actuation residuals measurement/model but, unfortunately, find that they are not completely accounted for by the electronics chain.

We started to think about what else could be going wrong with the residuals, but so far have come up with the only three theories above. To undertand this effect in more detail, Jeff is currently undertaking exploratory measurements of the UIM-->DARM and Pcal-->DARM to frequencies higher than 100 Hz. Hopefully these measurements will shine some light on this effect.

Thanks to all of the operators who have been dilligently caring for these lines while we sleep!

For the record, while these PCALX calibration lines are on, the majority (if not all) of the range is consumed, so we cannot perform PCALX hardware injections.
