Some Observe SDF reconciliation

I did some quick reconciliation of some of the observe SDF diffs. An easy one was all dark offsets. I also accepted many of the ASC SDFs, since I am responsible for many of them. This includes things like PD phasing, new intrix values, gain changes, etc. I also accepted several LSC SDFs, which also includes PD phasing, matrix changes, feedforward changes, and the MICH filter change. The only one I am not familiar with in the attached screenshot is the MCL trig threshhold.

(Almost) at NLN, Fast locklosses preventing calibration

Headline summary: We are very nearly back to NLN, only prevented in returning by the violin modes which are too high to engage OMC whitening. We have not yet been able to calibrate because of a very fast lockloss of unknown source.

The alog was down for most of the afternoon and evening, so I will do my best here to copy mesages from the mattermost chat, which served as the temporary alog.

Minor struggles in returning to full lock:

Once we achieved full power, we proceeded to try to solve some of the final instabilities leftover from last week. Changes made to avoid locking stability problems:

The plan was to try testing simulines again, however! We have had multiple very fast locklosses with no known origin. Two have happened shortly after arriving at OMC whitening. These are not coming from ASC and I don't see any ringup in DARM or LSC loops.

Had a look a the fast locklosses from OMC_WHITENING, lockloss tool tags windy for both (~20mph so not bad) and we are waiting for the violins to damp before engaging OMC_WHITENING.

Note, although these aren't slow ring ups, these are our typical type of locklosses and are not IMC fast locklosses.

Mon Eve Ops Transition

TITLE: 06/09 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Planned Engineering
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Ryan C
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_ENV state: CALM
    Wind: 13mph Gusts, 7mph 3min avg
    Primary useism: 0.04 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.16 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:

Locking work continues with H1 getting past 60W and commissioners focusing on ASC steps around LOWNOISE states (most recent lockloss was a DHARD pitch ring up. 

As for locking, it looks like H1 is locking decently, but Tony did say he ran a recent Manual Alignment.  Alignment-wise we are still running manually with PRC step only being partly run---basically take to PRX and touch up ASC-AS_A by hand via PRM (this is what we have been doing the last few weeks).

Plans are to take H1 to MAX POWER and continue ASC work.

Oh and for the forecast tonmight, we have a warning of high winds!  (We are also very hot---just under 105degF now).

work on h1brsex and h1brsey
I copied the contents of C:\SlowControls on h1brsex and h1brsey onto a usb stick. I committed changes local to h1brsex into svn. I ran svn update on h1brsey. I was just expecting the changes I committed from h1brsex to show up, but a whole lot more did. I guess no one had run svn update in a long time. It appeared to complete without conflicts and reported that it was now at revision 6189. I started committing files to svn on h1brsey that I thought did not conflict between the two machines, but I think I accidentally committed one that does. I committed local changes on h1brsey to /trunk/BRS2 C#/BRSReadout/configs/LHOEY.config, but afterward found that there are also local changes to the same file on h1brsex.

ISCT1 Re-aligned (again)
Elenna, TJ, Camilla 
 
Realigning ISCT1 after it was moved on Friday for the HAM1 +Y annulus work. Mostly done apart form touching up POPAIR A/B diodes once we have a locked PRMI/DRMI.
 
After the gate values opened, TJ and I tried to lock the green arms in REFL as we did in 84323. They didn't stay locked but the periods they were locked were comparable to a normal lock. MICH and PRMI flashes were bad but not terrible. Checked that PRM was within 10urad of last DRMI locked time. So we went to ISCT1 to start aligning the green and PSL ALS path.
 
Green
TJ adjusted the upper pericope mirror in PIT and YAW and this improved the alignment both Green X and Y arm cameras and the PSL ALS beam. The beam went though the SHG fine. We added an extra beam-dump after one of the beam-splitters to catch some extra beam scatter. 
We then touched up the green arms with ETMs/TMSs, Ryan C turned on sensor correction and the arms could then locked normally and WFS turned on.  
Elenna then aligned the beams onto the diode to get the COMM beatnote to get to 0dB.
At this point I started looking at the POP alignment and we noticed it was bad so Elenna went to the CR and did input align and MICH alignment with the Guardian and a PRX-by hand. 
After this, Elenna and TJ touched up the beams onto the DIFF beatnote to get to it to -11dB
Checked all beambumps on ALS and green paths.
 
REFL
The beam started on the both REFLAIR A and B diodes. TJ then centered the beam on both diodes with their steering mirrors.
Partick and the CDS team initialized the new digital REFL camera 84866 and the beam was on it!
 
POP
TJ Yaw-ed the top periscope mirror as the beam was clipping the shutter (he then realigned REFL). then I checked that the beam was on all POP optics and touched steering mirrors to by-eye get beam flashes on POPAIR_A/B. We couldn't lock PRMI or see the PRX single bounce beam but could only see flashes on POPAIR_A/B. All beamdumps checked.
Once Jenne and Elenna locked DRMI and lowered the "lockloss" offsets, TJ and I went back to ISCT1 and checked the centering of the beams on POPAIR_A/B both beams were not near edges of diodes. We could not see the beam on POPAIR camera.

WP 12610 Do the software setup for the ISCT1 REFL digital camera (daqd restart needed eventually)

Patrick Thomas, Jonathan Hanks, David Barker,

As a followup to WP 12574 we did the software setup for the ISCT1 REFL camera.  This is replacing the analog camera with a digital IP camera.  It is now h1cam37.

The only problem we had, was when assigning dhcp addresses we had already seen this camera and assigned it to msr-test-cam... So after removing the msr-test-cam entries from DNS and DHCP the camera came up as h1cam37 and started working.

I've attached a screen shot that Patrick took which shows where it is on the camera overview plus a sample of the data.

PSL 10-Day Trends

FAMIS 31089

PMC REFL and RefCav TPD both had a bit of a drop-off over the past 3-4 days, but PMC TRANS is largely unchanged. We've seen correlation before with changing outdoor temperatures and RefCav alignment, so I suppose it's possible the recent heat wave is having an effect on the PMC as well.

EY cryopump CP7 below nominal fill level

The PID controller for EY CP7 cryopump has opened its liquid level control valve (LLCV) to 100% but this is proving to be insufficient to maintain a 92% fill level in the pump. The pump level started deviating from nominal around 4pm Friday 06jun2025 PDT.

Vacuum team is investigating.

Note: no alarms issued at this point, the cyropump alarm level is < 80%, CP7 currently is at 85%.

ISCT1 Bellows Back on, all LVEA lasers back on.

TJ, Camilla WP 12605WP 12593

As HAM1 is now low enough in pressure, we removed the HAM1 +Y yellow VP covers, re-attached bellows and removed guillotines. ISCT1 was moved back into place on Friday 84850.

After TJ transitioned to Laser Hazard, we opened the ALS and PSL light pipes and turned back on the SQZ, CO2s and HWSs lasers.  

After okay from VAC, IMC locked without issue, PRC and MICH alignments look good enough on AS AIR camera and we will begin realigning ISCT1 soon.

Analog Camera swapped to Gige Digital Camera on ISCT1. MLC Mirror and in-air POP-X WFS Removed.

Fil, Keita, Daniel, Camilla  WP12598 WP12584

We swapped the old REFL Analog Camera to a Gige Digital Camera (Basler acA720-290g m S/N 40477593) on ISCT1 and cabled to the table feedthrough. There was no beams today so the alignment may need to be touched up.

Keita and Daniel also removed the MCL steering mirror, controller and the in-air POP-X WFS (S1300511, now stored in the EE shop) with mirror and lens from ISCT1. MLC controller and PZT will be stored in mid station storage. The beamsplitter towards the old POP-X path stayed but was blocked with the beam dump that used to be dumping the POP-X reflection.

Complete MCL PZT/controller inventory at LHO

Note 1: Each Mad City Labs PZT is supposed to be paired with a matching controller. Their manufacturer's serial number starts with MCLS (PZT) or MCLC (controller) but share the same number (e.g. MCLS02218 and MCLC02218). In the table below I only wrote down the number part.

Note 2: Each PZT and controller originally came in two separate boxes. These boxes for the units that are in use (or was at some point in time) weren't found in the MY storage except for one EX green WFS PZT/controller and another pair for EY.

Note 3: The PZT assembly for the old in-air POP-X that we pulled comprises the PZT, ALS Mad-City Labs base (D1300607), Mad-City Labs spacer (D1300608), Modified UPA1 holder (D1300124), and 1064nm HR 1" mirror. See 1st attachment.

Haven't checked if the PZT is MCLS02720 or 02219, but it's probably 02720.
