TITLE: Jan 11 DAY (half) Shift 20:00-00:00UTC (12:00-16:00 PDT), all times posted in UTC

STATE Of H1: Observing

INCOMING OPERATOR: Jeff B

QUICK SUMMARY:

• Ground motion is high but not too high from preventing stable locking

• IFO locked in the 78Mpc range for past 3 hrs

• Downward trend in recycle power will need to be addressed at the end of calibration testing at LLO

• Shipment of Transformers arrived. Truck diverted to LSB where Bubba met for the offload

ACTIVITY LOG:

11:20 IFO re-locked at NLN

11:21 Intent Bit set to Observing

22:02 Truck Loaded with transformers for Bubba

22:03 Intention Bit momentarily toggled for changing of ETMY calibration lines

22:46  Kyle and John out to MY to do daily CP3 overfill

23:21  Watching recycle power decay. LLO is running calibrations. We have ≈1.5 hours until we need to re-align TMS to correct in order to save lock. This is about the same amount of time that Chris Biwer will need to complete his work at LLO

Shift Summary:  Was Observing unitl an earthquake in Philippines knocked us out.

Incoming operator: Ed

Activity log:

17:03 Lockloss due to an earthquake. See alog24858.

17:12 Rick shutdown 5 kHz Pcal line at X-end.

18:59 Bubba going to mid-Y to work on the pipe under the beam tube.

20:00 Hand over the ifo to Ed.

Monday Morning Meeting Notes

- Jeff gave update on the calibraiton world (sorry I didn't really catch the content. I heard something about high frequency line and data quality flag). Tomorrow is the end of calibration period.

- PEM injection period after O1 ends.

- After tomorrow -- don't call people at night (except for Mike and Richard).

- IFO should be ready to be handed over to the comissioners by Friday.

The temporary PUM and UIM calibration lines slipped passed Rick when he was turning off the last of temporarty calibrations fromt last night. We noticed only after Chris had begun his first injection, so we waited for enough data then briefly went out of observe and turned off the lines -- out of observe at 22:01:27 and back in at 22:02:23 UTC.

FRS 4201

The OMC trans camera (h1cam20) software needed to be manually killed and restarted. Monit would not restart until the pid file had been deleted.  

Also restarted h1cam14 and h1cam17 since they were in the same state.

11:21UTC @ 76Mpc - Sidenote: I had to manually tweak TMSY to maximize Recycling Power.

I will be conducting some hardware injection tests at H1 and L1. This aLog will be updated as hardware injections are scheduled.

My first attempt to examine my alignment resulted in a perfect transition from PRMI to DRMI. It seems talking about it causes it! She's a very sensitive IFO.

STATE Of H1: Locking

OUTGOING OPERATOR: Nutsinee

QUICK SUMMARY: IFO locking. EQ bands have rung down but still not exactly nominal. The "mean" µSei seems to be right above the 90%ile with the Z-axis peaking up to 1µm/s. Winds are calm. Thank you Nutsinee for covering the morning!

Discussion of Anomalies

No anomalies to discuss.

Due to several WD trips and 20+ hours lock prior to the lockloss I decided to do an initial alignment.

At about 17:15:00 UTC, I stopped the Xend Pcal line at 5001.3 Hz by setting the amplitude to zero (from 40,000 cts).

A 6.4M earthquake in Philippines knocked us out. Requsted the IFO to Down. If Terramon is right about 4.6 um/s peak we are probably going to be down for another while.

During the last lock segment, we had the Tidal Error messages (X& Y COMM CTRL within 10% of limit).  Additionally, noticed on the Striptool on nuc1 that IMC-F_OUT16 was diverging & drifting off-screen (see attached).  Ultimately there was a lockloss (could it be related?).  

Talked to Hugh while we were locked, and he pointed me to the End Station HEPIs & also to the ISC signals they get.  He mentioned they have a limit of 700,000counts.  ETMy was moving below -36,000 (this was OK).  EX was flatlined at 14,660 (this was ODD).  But since both of these were well away from 700,000, we ruled out this being a tidal issue and figured it was something upstream (ISC?  PSL?).  We'll see how the next lock looks.

EvanG, Travis, Darkhan,

Today we repeated Pcal end-station measurements at EX, the procedure is described in T1500063. Rough readings from dataviewer and GPS times are given in the attached notes.

The outer beam still show a significan drop in power between Transmitter and Receiver modules, earlier we thought that the beam was not well centered at the input port of the RxPD integrating sphere, but by looking at an outer beam spot with IR viewing card it does not look to be the case (see attached picture).

Earlier this week we took a similar set of measurements, but we suspected that WS/TX when WS is inside of received module were not taken properly and today's measurements were taken as a double-check (LHO alog 24726).

We will post a full report and some conclusions soon.

Scheduled Injections

During this time period, 12 scheduled injections were found to have occurred

• CBC 1134345924.000 (coherentbbh10_1128678894_)
• CBC 1134348928.000 (coherentbbh11_1128678894_)

• BURST 1134581196.000 (WNB_burst_1134573920_1_)

Only 1 injection was found to not occur:

• BURST 1134577813.000 WNB_burst_1134573920_1_

Network and IFO Injections

Of the occurring scheduled injections, only two occurred as single-IFO injections:

• CBC 1134357333.938 (L1) (coherentbbh18_1128678894_)
• CBC 1134348934.048 (L1) (coherentbbh11_1128678894_)

All other scheduled injections occurred as H1-L1 coincident injections. The only UNSCHEDULED injections were 5 CALRESETs at L1 and 1 CALRESET at H1.

Discussion of Anomalies

The CALRESET injections have the same pattern of occurring with only certain paired combinations of the frame flags indicated by HWInjReport, as seen previously. However, all of the occurring scheduled injections have the anomaly of not occurring in the CAL-INJ channel and not having the TRANSIENT bit set to “off” to indicate the presence of a transient injection. They do occur, consistently, in the ODC-MASTER channel for HOFT, RAW, and RDS frames and the GDS-CALIB channel for HOFT frames.
