Initial Alignment Tools

I have revamped my initial alignment lazy script and made a new medm to help operators and commissioners bring up what they need a bit faster.

The Script:

Location: /userapps/.../isc/h1/scripts/Init_align_lazy.py

Action: This will bring up 5 StripTools(XARM_GREEN_WFS.stp, YARM_GREEN_WFS.stp, PITCH_ASC_INITIAL_ALIGNMENT.stp, YAW_ASC_INITIAL_ALIGNMENT.stp, initall_alignment.stp) as well as the new medm I made (INIT_ALIGN.adl). The script will arrange them on the left monitor in a 3x2 grid. They can then be moved if so desired. If any of these windows are open in another workspace, the window manager will get confused and move the other one, so keep that in mind of they aren't in their proper positions.

I have aliased this in for "ops" as 'initial_alignment'

The medm:

Location: /userapps/.../isc/h1/medm/INIT_ALIGN.adl

Combines the ALIGN_IFO, X and Y ALS Guardians with the alignment sliders for ETMX, ETMY, ITMX, ITMY, BS, and PR3. These are the most commonly adjusted optics for IA.

I have not linked this medm off of the sitemap yet, but if/when I do it will most likely be under OPS.

 

Comments adn questions are always welcome.

Changed the ISI ETMX X blend from 45 to 90

Jenne noticed the control room symptoms of the ETMX ISI starting to ring up (H1:IMC-F_OUT16 on our Tidal.stp will be gin to oscillate [shot attached] along with the ASC control signals). I brought up the template to watch it and sure enough, ISI ETMX X was ringing up. I switched the X direction blend to the 90mHz and it imediately settled down.

I'm attaching screen shots of the environment control room tools to hopefully help.

State of H1: Observing

Shift Summary:  Unlocked at the beginning of my shift.  After an IA, it locked up pretty quickly.  Then there was an lockloss due to EQ.  After EQ ringdown, we stumbled through the CARM section a few times before getting back to NLN.

Incoming operator: TJ

Activity log:

9:27 Locked at NLN

9:30 cleared ETMx TIM error

9:32 Observing

10:06 Set to Commissioning to tweak TMS in an attempt to get POP power higher (it wasn't drifting down, just not as high as usual,15800).  Unsuccessful.

10:13 Observing

11:42 Lockloss.  EQ?

13:50 Locked NLN, attempting to tweak POP power again

Lockloss 11:42 UTC

According to our seismometers, it appears to be an EQ.  The only thing showing on Terramon or USGS at the moment is a 5.1 near Wallis and Futuna with Terramon prediciting 0.17 um/s R-Wave.  However, our seismos are already at ~1 um/s a few minutes before the predicted arrival time for this EQ.

Observing at 9:32 UTC

After running through an initial alignment, we are back to Observing.  The issue with PRM align mentioned in Jeff's summary seems to have been due to PRM alignment being far off (hundreds of urads).  I restored them to earlier values and it locked without issue.

Shift Detail Summary:  Hardware injections scheduled to start at 08:10 (00:10). 

   While doing an initial alignment after a commissioning lock, were hit with two earthquakes at same time (6.7 near Japan, 6.0 near Bolivia). Seismic has rung up to 5um/s. Reset WD trips on BS. Put the IFO in DOWN until the earth calms a bit.  

   Seismic calmed down enough to try initial alignment and locking. The initial alignment took longer than normal, but was mostly OK. Tried a couple of times but could not get PRM_ALIGN to move past REFL_WFS_CENTERING_PRX. I skipped this step. Trying to relock.

UIM driver electronics and comparison with UIM actuation residuals

Evan G., Jeff K.

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.

The quad model on the svn does not have UIM-PUM wire violin modes. I just drafted an update that does include these, which I used to generate the attached figures. I'll commit this update if it appears consistent with measurements.

The plot ViolinModes_12Jan2016.jpg compares the model UIM L to Test L transfer function with and without the UIM-PUM modes, but with the fiber modes in both cases. I guessed the UIM-PUM violin modes to be a Q of 100,000, but that could be off an oder of magnitude or two. The second figure plots the ratio of these 2 transfer functions. 

According to this second figure, the UIM-PUM violin modes explain some, but not all of the discrepancy seen between the measurements and the model in the log above. So either the model is not correct, or there is still something in the feedback loops we are missing.

Attached are plots showing the individual components of the coil driver electronics fitted with the vectfit program in Matlab and using LISO. I report the fitted LISO values below with respective uncertainties.

Dummy BOSEM connected, with output impedance network (see figure UIM_out_impedance.pdf):

Best parameter estimates:
zero0:f =  84.1507169277 +- 1.627 (1.93%) 
pole0:f =  303.5726548020 +- 5.431 (1.79%) 
pole1:f =  127.6915337428k +- 3.535k (2.77%) 
factor =  2.2065872530m +- 17.45u (0.791%)

This fit shows the calibration of 2.2 mA/V, one zero at 84.15 Hz, and two poles at 303.57 Hz and 127.7 kHz.

BOSEM only (output impedance network divided out so only BOSEM transfer function remains, see figure UIM_bosem.pdf):

Best parameter estimates:
zero0:f =  334.8526120460 +- 3.892 (1.16%) 
zero1:f =  1.2383234778k +- 43.39 (3.5%) 
zero2:f =  8.2602408615k +- 320.8 (3.88%) 
pole0:f =  747.0160319882 +- 27.6 (3.69%) 
pole1:f =  5.3613221192k +- 210.2 (3.92%) 
pole2:f =  25.8483289876k +- 310.1 (1.2%) 
pole3:f =  232.8627791989k +- 3.041k (1.31%) 
factor =  11.6075630096m +- 14.92u (0.129%)

For some reason, this transfer function is tricky to fit. These are the fewest number of zeros and poles I could put in LISO and still provide a good fit to the data. LISO does complain that strong correlation exists between pole1<-->zero2 and pole0<-->zero1. When I removed these pairs, the fit became much worse, so I left them in.

As a comparison with the full chain: digital AntiAcq x analog Acq (output impedance network) x BOSEM (see figure UIM_full.pdf). The model fits the measurement with 2% up in magnitude to 40 kHz, and within 1 degree in phase up to 50 kHz.

Finally, the previously shown plot in the original post divides out the full BOSEM measurement in the field ('field BOSEM'), but the model already takes care of the analog output impedance network, so this original plot was double-counting. I attach here a corrected version of the plot (see UIM_res_with_elec.pdf). This shows that the BOSEM does indeed correct for some of the excess residual, it is not the dominant contributor to the behaviour above ~60 Hz.

Bad power supplies on x1seiex io chassis

While investigating an issue with x1seibsctim04 Jim Batch and I noticed that the power supply on the x1seiex IO chassis was dead.  We replaced the power supply with a spare unit from the self.  The new power supply appears to be getting 5v (some leds where lit), but it would not turn on (the fans would start to spin up and then stop).

Further investigation is needed.  For now x1seiex has been disconnected from the dolphin network and turned off.
