Fill tripped on a LN2 spurt before the main flow, but still looks like a good fill.
Ibrahim, Ryan S, Erik, Dave:
Around the same time as there was work being done at the corner station mechanical room mezzanine, h1sush7 had a timing glitch requiring the restart of the h1iopsush7 model (and therefore all user models).
Ibrahim and Ryan S consolidated the SDFs for h1susfc1, h1sussqzin and verified the mezanine work was completed.
We restarted all the models, reset the SWWD, cleared IPC and CRC errors to return the system to nominal.
I have added this event to an already opened ticket for h1sush7 FRS20317

In prep for Fil turning off the high voltages, we ramped down and disabled some systems that use it, outlined in M1300464 (screenshot attached of specific page).
The following settings were changed:
I disabled all picomotor drivers (usually we keep these all disabled anyway, but still Squeezer HAM7 was the only one enabled) and turned off all SQZ TECs. The instructions only list the OPO, but there are three more: OFI, SFI1, and SFI2. I turned these off by switching the Servo toggle to "Off" in the upper-right of each TEC's medm screen (screenshot attached).

The interlock for HAM6 that was bypassed last December (alog 82011) has been restored. The gauge on HAM6 is scheduled to be replaced during the upcoming vent.
Yesterday I moved a pumped dust monitor into the HAM1 clean room (dust monitor LVEA5). I set the alarm levels to clean-100 following E1600132 and took a look at the trend overnight. The 0.5u particle count was steady around zero and the 0.3u was around ~10 counts overnight.
Janos, Gerardo, Dave:
Following some alarms overnight we have decided to remove the LVEA gauges from VACSTAT for the duration of the vent. The other gauges which will remain under vacuum continue to be monitored, but without the increased sensitivity settings.
In order to keep the EDC green, a vacstat_dummy_ioc.py is running on opslogin0 to simulate the channels associated with the removed gauges (HAM1, HAM6, BSC2, BSC3).
The cell phone alarms to the vacuum group on multiple vacstat detections has also been disabled.
HAM1 alarms have been removed from the system for the duration of the vent.

The field cabling for RM1 and RM2 was disconnected in the CER and field rack. Cables were pulled back from ISC-R4 to SUS-R1. Cables were installed early on and buried in the cable tray. It was decided to cut the connector to ease cable work. Ends will need to be re-terminated. The PM1 field cables arrived onsite and will be installed tomorrow. Work will be outside the HAM1/2 clean room.
WP 12393
The SEI field cables were pulled to the following HAM1 flange locations:
Corner 1 (GS-13, L4C, ISI Coil Drive) to Flange D1
Corner 2 (GS-13, L4C, ISI Coil Drive) to Flange D5
Corner 3 (GS-13, L4C, ISI Coil Drive) to Flange D3
HEPI Corner 1&2 to Flange D5
HEPI Corner 3 to Flange D3
WP 12421
Cabling to IOHT2L and ISCT1 was disconnected. Both sets of cables were pulled out of the clean room, clear of any HAM1 activities. The safety interlock system was tripped when cables were being moved off ISCT1. Safety system was restored. The field EtherCAT field boxes EL1908 and cables are located on top of HAM1. They should not interfere with door removal/install.
WP 12422
The vertical cable tray, conduit and part of the floor cable tray was removed to clear the HAM ISI Installation Fixture. Cables to ISCT1 are now routed along the cable tray outside of the clean room.
We took time to pull out various DB cables, fibers, RF cables ect that were not being used. Area around HAM1 is now clear. Let us know you see or need anything else moved/cleared for the ISI install.

We added guillotines to all VPs, removed the bellows and added yellow VP covers. IOT2 bellows were very tight so couldn't be removed until we moved the table an ~inch away from HAM2. The tables bellows adapters were covered with ameristat and the bellows were covered with foil and placed on a nearby rack. Photo.
We moved the small garbing cleanroom up against the TSCY / the HAM3 cleanroom. We moved ISCT1 and IOT2 next to it on the other side of the racks, leaving space and a pallet for the HAM1 door. Photo.
TJ and I removed and disassembled the HAM2 scaffolding and stored it with the other scaffolding in the High bay.

Camilla and I made several knife edge measurements of the L5 CO2 laser in the optics lab after she got back from her trip to Access. The beamwidth estimates are consistent with tests done by Gabriele and Camilla
Measurements:
Fits to both the numerical derivative and cumulative yield similar estimates of the beamwidth (1/e^2 radius) : around 1.3mm at 16cm from the aperature is consistent with the beam profiles done in Gabriele and Camilla's test, which estimated the beam waist to be around 1.2mm.
Code for analyzing this data
Follow up to LHO alog 83200 and LHO alog 80863.
Brian and I thought of a better way of getting the M1 OSEMs in PR3 calibrated relative to the HAM2 GS13s: Use the ISI drives in L, T, V for frequencies above the suspension resonances to get an absolute calibration.
We can use the measurements Jeff took in LHO alog 80863 and project them in the OSEM basis, then use the translational (Longitudinal, Transverse, Vertical) drives to calibrate the OSEMs. Since the GS13s are calibrated to [m] all of the transfer functions (shown in the first attachment) are in [OSEM meters]/[GS13 meters]. At high frequencies (sufficiently above the resonances) the OSEMs should just be measuring (-1)*ISI motion, because the suspension is isolated. The calibration error will depend on how well we are able to drive L,T,V from the ISI without cross-coupling to any other DOF.
Figure 1 attached shows the 6x6 transfer matrix between the ISI drives and OSEMs (inputs are columns, and outputs are rows). We highlight the 6 translational transfer functions that can be used to calibrate the OSEMs in red. The drives seem decoupled enough to do the calibration (for example, we expect to see a length drive only in LF and RT, no motion anywhere else).
Figures 2,3, and 4 show a detail of the 6 transfer functions we will use for calibration, all of them should be scaled to 1 [OSEM m]/[GS13 m]. The scalings are:
Adding here the phases for the TFs used for the calibration. There's a 20 to 25 degree phase loss after the last resonance up to 20 Hz. I'm not sure what more to make out of it, I thought the phase loss would be an artifact of the OSEM readouts, but maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.
One way to fix the cross-coupling without having to get the absolute calibration is to slightly modify the M1 PR3 osem gains. They currently sit at:
T1 T2 T3 LF RT SD
1.161 0.998 1.047 1.171 1.163 1.062
Their new values would be at
T1 T2 T3 LF RT SD
1.164 0.903 0.866 1.073 1.199 0.942
This change will still leave a scaling factor of 1.54 m/(OSEM m), but at least it should fix the L-Y and the V-P-R cross couplings.
(Dave Barker, Fil Clara, Jenne Driggers, Corey Gray, Gerardo Moreno, plus those who signed work permit and whom I phoned last night)
Last Night Recap:
Last night at 959pmPT, there was an audible alarm for the HAM6 vacuum gauge (PT110). Gerardo went out to check to see if it was dead. He phoned Fil and they did a power cycle of the gauge to see if this would improve the situation, but it did not. After this, H1 was taken to IDLE for the night (OWL shift cancelled). (Should have taken Observatory Mode to CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE at this point, but only remembered to do this this morning.)
Work Permit 12260 generated. Fil arrived on-site around 9amPT (17utc).
This Morning's Summary of Fil's Work:
The HAM6 Interlock (for operations of the Fast Shutter + PZT) is now Using the BSC3 Interlock (or VAC gauge from BSC3 since it was decided to BYPASS the HAM6 VAC gauge which failed last night [alog 82005]). This means that the BSC3 Interlock is no longer being used for the ITM ESDs (which sounds like it's fine because Jenne/Fil said we don't use the ESDs for the ITMs).
Fil noted that he confirmed that the Fast Shutter Chassis in the LVEA is OPERATIONAL. Fil then left the site after giving me this summary.
As far as a test of this new HAM6 Interlock configuration, I intentionally ran a test of the AS Port Protection system (sitemap/SYS/ AS Port Protection....this was my first time doing this). After clicking the RUN (test) button, after a few seconds received an "OK" for the (1) Test & (2) Fault. After this test and the signed-off Work Permit, we are OK to GO for High Power locking.
Currently running an Initial Alignment (note: ISC_LOCK initially went into ERROR [red box] when I selected Initial Alignment (screenshot of error message attached). LOAD-ing ISC_LOCK (suggested in the Log) cleared this up.
ALSO:
Sheila reminded me that we do use ITMs for acquisition, so she's making modifications to the guardian so that we'll use ETMY instead of the ITMs for acquisition.

HAM6 interlock has been restored. HAM6 gauge is scheduled to be replaced during upcoming vent. See alog 83695.
