Still locked and observing. No change in wind or seismic. A number of SUS ETMY saturations. These do not appear to be reflected in RF45 noise. The verbal alarms script is indicating CS temperature is low, but I don't see any alarms on the FMCS overview.
The strip chart was periodically stopping and starting.

Ignored alarm. 12:10 (00:10) GRB (E202631) – LHO in Observing; LLO down due to FE problem. Ignored the alert. Generally a good shift. IFO in Observing mode for ~ 12 hours. Range has been around 78Mpc. Other than cold and fog, weather is good and seismic has been stable for the entire shift. Only one ETM-Y saturations and no problems with RF45. No additional temperature related alarms in the corner or end stations.
12:10 (04:10) Received GBR alert (E202631). LHO in Observing mode. Spoke with LLO; their FE is down and they are working on recovery. Ignored the alert.
A good first half of this Owl shift. IFO in Observing mode for past 9 hours. Range is around 78Mpc. Wind is clam (0 - 3mph) and seismic activity is low and steady. Warmer than last night, the corner station is reporting a balmy 26F, with heavy fog. There has been one EMT-Y glitch.
Had temperature alarms on FMC-CS_LVEA_REHEAT_1B_DEGF and FMC-CS_LVEA_REHEAT_4_DEGF. CS zone 1B has output temp of 98.41F and zone 4 is at 99.56F. Have attached a 48 hour trends of the chiller yards and a screen shot of the corner station air handlers. Will continue to monitor.
08:50 (00:50) received GRB alert (E202583). LHO in Observing. Spoke to LLO, they are down due to environmental conditions. Ignored alert.
Title: 11/22/2015, Evening Shift 08:00 – 16:00 (00:00 – 08:00) All times in UTC (PT) State of H1: 08:00 (16:00), The IFO locked at NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE, 22.3w, 79Mpc. Outgoing Operator: Patrick Quick Summary: IFO has been in Observing mode for the past 5 hours, except as noted in Patrick log entries. Environmental conditions – wind is a light to gentle breeze (4-12mph). Seismic activity is quiet after a couple of small earthquakes ~ 2 hours ago. Microseism is centered around 0.3 um/s.
TITLE: 11/21 [EVE Shift]: 00:00-08:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PDT), all times posted in UTC STATE Of H1: Observing @ ~ 77 MPc. SHIFT SUMMARY: Had trouble relocking after the earthquake at the beginning of shift. Have remained at NLN since. Went out of observing while Chris ran his swept-sine measurement. Winds have remained low. Survived two short peaks to ~ .2 um/s in the earthquake band. INCOMING OPERATOR: Jeff B.
Chris is done.
To allow Chris to run a swept-sine measurement.
LLO had called and said they would be down for awhile. I'm going to finish doing a swept-sine through the INJ_HARDWARE filterbank from 5-500Hz. Previously I had only finished 500-2000Hz. The IFO intent mode has been turned off. This is WP#5595.
Previous swept-sine measurement was: aLog 23307 The following was done: * psinject turned off at 5:20 UTC * swept sine measurement started at 5:21 UTC * swept sine measurement ended at 5:48 UTC * psinject turned on at 5:49 UTC I've attached a plot of the transfer function and coherence between INJ_CW and DELTAL_EXTERNAL_DQ. WP#5955 is now complete.
Attached are results of computing a transfer function from H1:CAL-INJ_CW_OUT to H1:GDS-CALIB_STRAIN, using the same method used for the higher-frequency swept sine on Nov 11. The transfer function is generally flat and well behaved below 500 Hz and above ~35 Hz. The feature at 167 Hz appears to be an artifact of the swept sine measurement at that point being artificially split into several points. Figure 1 - Spectogram of H1:CAL-INJ_CW_OUT during swept sine Figure 2 - Spectogram of H1:GDS-CALIB_STRAIN during swept sine Figure 3 - Transfer function and coherence More detailed results can be found here.
The DTT template for doing the 5 to 500Hz swept-sine measurement is in the SVN here: template_cw_inj_sweptsine_5to500_20151121.xml The DTT template for doing the 500 to 2000Hz swept-sine measurement is in the SVN here: template_cw_inj_sweptsine_500to2000_20151111.xml
The ISI blends are on Quite_90. The range is ~ 78 MPc. Relocking sequence: I had to move ETMX and ETMY in Pitch. I had to move TMSY in Pitch. I lost lock on SWITCH_TO_QPDS. I had to move ETMX in Pitch and Yaw. The ALS_DIFF node gave notifications on FIND_IR that 'X arm alignment is bad, not searching' and 'Y arm alignment is bad, not searching'. It eventually went to CHECK_IR without intervention. The ISC_LOCK node gave an 'IR not really found' notification on CHECK_IR. I adjusted H1:ALS-C_DIFF_PLL_CTRL_OFFSET to bring the IR in the Y arm to around 1. I lost lock on SWITCH_TO_QPDS. The ISC_LOCK node gave an 'IR not really found' notification on CHECK_IR. I adjusted H1:ALS-C_DIFF_PLL_CTRL_OFFSET to increase the IR in the Y arm but still got 'IR not really found' notifications. I decided to try to move to DRMI_LOCKED anyway. I lost lock on RF_DARM. I lost lock on FIND_IR. I started an initial alignment. The MC lost lock and relocked on LOCKING_XARM_IR. The X arm seemed to lock and then lose lock on IR. The MC lost lock and relocked. I set the X arm LSC gain to .15. The MC lost lock and relocked. I set the X arm LSC gain to .15 again. It did not seem to help. I set it back to .05. The X arm does not want to lock on IR. I put the ALS_XARM and ALS_YARM nodes to LOCKED_SLOW_W_ETM_WFS. I put the ALIGN_IFO node to SET_SUS_FOR_ALS. I increased H1:ALS-C_COMM_A_DEMOD_RFMON from around 4.1 to around 4.6 by moving PR3. I put the ALS_XARM and ALS_YARM nodes to UNLOCKED. I accidentally put the ALIGN_IFO node to INPUT_ALIGN_OFFLOADED. I quickly put it to INPUT_ALIGN. The X arm still does not want to lock on IR. I finally got the X arm to lock on IR by adjusting PR2 in Yaw from 4303.4 to 4302.4. I adjusted H1:ALS-C_DIFF_PLL_CTRL_OFFSET and H1:ALS-C_COMM_VCO_CONTROLS_SETFREQUENCY in CHECK_IR. It may have improved TRX. I stopped at ENGAGE_ASC_PART3 to wait for the ASC loops to converge. I reduced the ISS diffracted power. I engaged the ISS second loop by hand. I reached NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE.
