I believe I have moved IM1 and IM2 to there approximate positions before the HAM2 ISI trip (alog 23777). I moved IM1 in PITCH from 800 to 592. I moved IM2 in PITCH from 17980 to 17232.

I started an initial alignment. I got to the point where both ALS_XARM and ALS_YARM were at the INITIAL_ALIGNMENT state and was waiting for the ASC convergence. However when I got to GREEN_WFS_OFFLOADED the Y arm dropped in power. I am now struggling to bring it back.

I'm guessing related to tidal diagnostic messages.

I just noticed that the DARM spectrum is rising significantly on and off up to around 100 Hz. There are diagnostic messages related to TIDAL LIMITS (see attached screenshots). Starting investigation.

Quiet shift so far. A couple of SUS ETMY saturations. Still in observing. No significant changes in environment.

STATE of H1:  Locked for 23+hrs & range is at 80Mpc

Incoming Operator:  Patrick 

Support:  None needed.

Quick Summary:

These are the types of shifts we want!

Shift Log:

• ETMy Saturations:  16:36, 16:41, 18:30, 18:33, 20:24, 20:50
• LVEA FMCS Alarm noted & alarmed again toward end of shift.
• 0.03-0.1Hz band has been trending up for last 10hrs (since last EQ event?).  useism might be inching up a little.  Dead calm winds.

Quiet & Cold shift.  Temperatures around 21degF.  Winds are under 3mph.  useism has a slight increasing trend over last 12hrs, but the LVEA is low at around 0.275um/s.  the earthquake band is mainly flat, but has had a slow increase over the last 4hrs (no EQ notices though).

H1 range has had a trend down from 80mc to 75Mpc over the last half hour.  ETMy continues to saturate.

ASC DHARD Pit (red channel on wall) continues to have a large amplitude.

Ed mentioned a CRITICAL alarm yesterday for H0:FMC-CS_LVEA_REHEAT_2B_DEGF.  I'm seeing this not as a CRITICAL Alarm, but as an alarm for the AIRHANDLER, and it is MAJOR (i.e. RED).  Looks like it started alarming around midnight a few times (i.e. when it's been cold?).  Attached is a trend of relevant channels.  I will NOT contact Bubba/John since from Ed's alog it sounded like they are already on top of this.

O1 days 66 - 71. Quiet week, no restarts during maintenance Tuesday.

Quick Summary:  Looks like a great night for Ed even with the ETMy saturations (I've had [3] big ones in my first 85min this morning).

useism looks like it's been inching up slightly (up maybe 0.02-0.05um/s?) over the last 12hrs.  It is a balmy 19degF out!

Cheryl, Ed

Cheryl asked me to post these plots in the case that locking becomes dificult, especially in the "INPUT_ALIGN" and "FIND_IR" stages of aligning and locking. It seems that 3 days ago after a HAM2 ISI trip there was a 15µRadian shift in IM2 M1 pitch and ≈7 µRadian shift in IM1 M1 of the same. The plot also shows the compensation that IM4 has made which ultimately affects the beam pointing/alignment for the entire IFO. Should re-locking become difficult or not stable it's possible that IM1 and IM2 may need to be driven back to the values from when the shifts took place. How much shift is too much shift is still being discussed.

Please feel welcomed to correct any inaccuracies in this log as I'm relaying information from Cheryl who's knowledge of this exceeds mine, i believe.

STATE Of H1: Trying to lock DRMI
SHIFT SUMMARY: Lost lock for unknown reason. Trouble relocking. Started initial alignment. Earthquake hit. Finished initial alignment. Trying to lock DRMI.
INCOMING OPERATOR: Cheryl
ACTIVITY LOG:

Lock loss
Got 'Align SR3 to offload M2 actuators' notification from SR3_CAGE_SERVO guardian.
M2 Test around 12000 in Pitch. Moved optic align in Pitch from 555.4 to 558.4 to bring M2 Test to around -5900.

Trouble locking ALS. Had to move TMSY mostly in PITCH.
Trouble locking X arm on green.
Cleared end X WFS history.
WFS seem to drive power down.
Went to LOCKED_NO_SLOW_NO_WFS.
Took ALS_XARM guardian to Auto.
Went to LOCKED_NO_SLOW_NO_WFS.
Using ETMX and TSMX was able to bring power in X arm to around .9.
Went to LOCKED_SLOW_W_ETM_WFS, lock loss, power in both arms dropped.
Took ISC_LOCK to INIT.
Moved ETMY in YAW.
Moved ETMX in PITCH.
Moved TMSX some, but didn't help.
Power in X arm is around .9. Power in Y arm is around 1.06. Going to CHECK_IR.

ALS-COMM guardian: brief 'alignment is bad not searching' notification, finally 'search for IR resonance by hand'.
ALS DIFF guardian: request and state is still on LOCKED. Something isn't right.

Starting initial alignment. May be faster in the long run.
ALS_X and ALS_Y have both reached INITIAL_ALIGNMENT state, but X arm power is oscillating around .8.
Let ASC loops converge for ~ 30 min. The ITMS were far off.
Offloaded green WFS.
COMM beatnote is oscillating < 2.
Noticed earthquake.

Waited long time for earthquake, it isn't completely settled, but will try moving on
Aligning PR3 to increase COMM beatnote
That worked very well, increased to almost 5
MICH_DARK_LOCKED did not work, the two beams oscillated further and further away from each other
Going back to input align
Input align is not locking
Trying MICH dark locked again
This time the beams converged
SRCY is not locking
Got H1:LSC-ASAIR_A_LF_OUTPUT to ~ 800 by moving SRM mostly in YAW
Finished initial alignment

Moved ETMY in PITCH and YAW to lock ALS
ALS DIFF: search for IR resonance by hand
Briefly locked DRMI, lost lock, went to down
ALS DIFF: search for IR resonance by hand
Back to trying to lock DRMI
