Due to a number of bugs and other issues, analysis reports from HWInjReport had been suspended indefinitely until these issues could be resolved. I am happy to report that these issues have been resolved and have resulted in the release of HWInjReport v2.2. This version contains a number of fixes to the analysis logic to improve accuracy and reliability.

Several features were added to HWInjReport for this version. The first is that the application has been modified to use direct access to the data nodes when running on a CONDOR machine; this has the effect of significantly improving runtime by a factor 3 or better due to no longer needing to wait on the archive robot to load files, which was the case when running from LDAS-pcdev1, for instance. In part of this, HWInjReport now uses gw_data_find to find frame files instead of the deprecated ligo_data_find. The second feature is support for analyzing the CAL-INJ channel in RAW frame files and checking the TRANSIENT bit within that channel for hardware injections. The third feature is support for recognizing STOCHASTIC injections.

Also with this version, the output format has been compressed some for better readability (the output is not as wide as it originally was), and the threshold for IFO coincidence between Hanford and Livingston has been increased to 12ms from 10ms.

With these changes, version 2.2 is the latest stable release of HWInjReport. It is still expected that changes and improvements to the software will continue into the future as necessary; however, hopefully, these changes will not necessitate another cessation of analysis using HWInjReport due to validation issues.

With help from Peter King and Ken from S&K Electric we determined that the disconnect was turned off for the H-2 PSL make up air fan. I turned the disconnect on and the fan is working properly now.

The fan disconnect was not labeled, however, Peter said he would print a label and install it on the disconnect.

Cleared counters in attached screenshot.

I took a few charge measurements this morning, however a few of each set were garbage due to an atttempted MICH lock.  Then, the other few look noisy due to the ongoing 30-70mph winds we've felt all morning.  I'll try to catch a quieter period for more measurements this week.  Plots coming...

Winds are too high to lock so maintenance is running past noon.

I've updated tinj.m to use CAL-PINJX_TINJ* instead of CAL-INJ_TINJ*. The new changes have been implemented at LHO.

The EPICs records changed are:
  * H1:CAL-PINJX_TINJ_STATE
  * H1:CAL-PINJX_TINJ_START
  * H1:CAL-PINJX_TINJ_ENDED
  * H1:CAL-PINJX_TINJ_TYPE
  * H1:CAL-PINJX_TINJ_ENABLE
  * H1:CAL-PINJX_TINJ_PAUSE
  * H1:CAL-PINJX_TINJ_OUTCOME

To do this:
  (1) Edited tinj.m to replace CAL-INJ_TINJ* with CAL-PINJX_TINJ*. The only exception was CAL-INJ_EXTTRIG_ALERT_TIME since ext_alert.py still uses this channel and has not been switched over yet.
  (2) At 20:57 UTC turned run_tinj off with the monit web interface.
  (3) Compile run_tinj using: mcc -R -nojvm -R -nodisplay -R -singleCompThread -m run_tinj
  (4) At 21:00 UTC turned run_tinj on with the monit web interface.
  (5) Commit changes.

I checked tinj.log and it was updating as expected.

We will need to coordinate the switch-over of CAL-INJ_EXTTRIG_ALERT_TIME to CAL-PINJX_EXTTRIG_ALERT_TIME. And update LLO to this version as well.

Because Dave is finding that these are changing more frequently and thus causing him to commit more SDF snap files to the svn than he had originally planned for, I finished setting all of the SUS OPTICALIGN PIT and YAW channels (just 2 per each SUS) to not be monitored by the SDF.  I also started clearing house on the new BECKHOFF SDF.  In OBSERVE, this system sees more channel settings which differ from lock stretch to lock stretch.  The following were set to NOT MON in SDF:

H1:*-*_*_LIMITCOUNT (Counter channelswhich have just been incrementing since the begining of the run)

H1:ALS-C_COMM_VCO_CONTROLS_SETFREQUENCY (Changes by very small amounts from lock to lock for ALS locking)

Today I re-zeroed all of the active H1 optical levers.  The table below shows their pitch/yaw values before re-zeroing and the values as they read when I finished each oplev (there could be relaxation in the motors causing a slow, slight drift, especially in the BS and HAM2 oplevs which are zeroed with piezo motors steering a 2" turning mirror).  This closes work permit #5606.

I reset the PSL power watchdog at 16:40 UTC (08:40 PST).

Beckhoff SDF system (running on h1build) needed a restart following problems with h1build. Note this was done in observation  mode, this is a pure EPICS monitor system which access the IOC via an EPICS gateway.

At about 10:15 this morning Bubba and I disabled the fridge and the outdoor AC unit at YEND. We also concluded that the trap primers at YEND are likely mechanical only and not electrically operated.

I have completed the update and restart of the dmt software. This includes generation of segments based on  ETMY-ESD DAC and DCPD ADC overflows and a few minor bug fixes. The restart also activates the calibration filter file changes made by Maddie.

TITLE: 11/17 [DAY Shift]: 16:00-24:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PDT), all times posted in UTC
STATE Of H1: Down
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Nutsinee
QUICK SUMMARY: Start of maintenance

The h1broadcast0 daqd process has been restarted to add additional channels to the broadcast frame.

Load issues seemed to cause the server running the diskcache to freeze ast night. Now it looks like the diskcache crashed soon after I rebooted the server. I'll restart it, and the summary pages should start to update again.
 

Unable to maximize the ALS transmitted power just by touching ETMs and TMS alone. ITMs didn't move much compared to where it was after the lockloss. COMM beatnote is low (3ish) and touching PR3 didn't improve it.
