preparations for End X QPD work

I placed the IR oz optics fiber coupled laser on ISCEX, with a colimator and two steering mirrors.  

When I first got there the green QPD cenering servos were not working, it seems that the matrix elements changed in early june so I did a burt restore to June 1st.  The servos worked fine after that.  

I only saw one green beam in the IR trans path at the PD this time, this is different from what I saw in May (alog 12161).  I aligned the IR laser along the path of the green light coming out of the chamber using the mirrors I had added to the table, and saw a retroreflected beam coming back out of the chamber.  This beam is somewhat large.  

I'm done using the laser at end X, and have returned the key to the control room.  If anyone wants to transition to laser safe while preparing for the vent, that's fine.

h1fw0 back up after power cycle of h1ldasgw0

Dan, Jim, Dave

Dan found a possible memory issue with h1ldasgw0. He forced a system core dump both in the bad and good states for follow up with Oracle. He then power cycled h1ldasgw0 and we restarted h1fw0 daqd process to see if a power cycle recovery differs from reboot.

ODC ADC/DAC overflow bits and EXC monitor bit added to ODC_CHAN.mdl library - recompiled h1ascimc with it

work log:

- Broke the link in h1odcmaster.mdl (SVN revision 8350) to ODC_CHAN.mdl (odcmaster does not need the ADC/DAC part in its Guardian block.)
- recompiled and restarted h1odcmaster.mdl.
- changed ODC_CHAN.mdl: broke and terminated last 3 inputs (bit28-30) (termination there for easy compatibility) and added STATEWORD input with NOT statement. This serves bit 28: ADC saturations, bit 29 DAC saturations and bit 30 Excitations (remember: for ODC: 1=OK 0=bad).

- Changes to h1ascimc.mdl: added bit strings for bits 28-30, added ODC_WFS_NOMINAL_GAIN EPICS input (SVN revision 8351)
- Updated IMC_CUST_ODC.adl medm screen to include WFS_NOMINAL_GAIN (SVN revision 8352)

recompiled and restarted h1ascimc
verified that bits 28-30 work (ADC/DAC saturations and EXC)

burt restored h1odcmaster and h1ascimc to 7am

The  models below eventually need the following modifications:

- add "BIT28", "BIT29" and "BIT30" string block in their ODC part (for labeling the ADC/DAC and EXC bits)

- recompile them against the new ODC_CHAN.mdl

Stefan forgot to mention that we also svn updated the common part
${userapps}/release/isc/common/models/ALS_CORNER_ASC.mdl
and recompiled, reinstalled, restarted, restored the h1asc.mdl in which it resides in order to get the ALS green transmitted light from each arm,
H1:ALS-C_TRX_A_LF_OUT_DQ
H1:ALS-C_TRY_A_LF_OUT_DQ
into the *science* frames as opposed to just the commissioning frames (the DAQ channel list where its storage is defined is inside this library part). As no sampling rate is defined next to these channels, the channels will be stored at the native rate of its host model -- 2048 [Hz]. Dave's DAQ restart completes the storage process.

This will help us explore ALS lock losses better, indefinitely. Up until now we'd only had 16 [Hz] EPICS channel versions of these signals.

Thanks to Guillermo for catching this one!

P.S. An ALS part, in an ISC folder, in an ASC model... it took us a while to find this one. Quite the tangled web you weave ISC!

WHAM4 HEPI position during HWS Alignment

In case anyone cares, the HEPI locked position was different (slightly) from the optic (SR2) alignment position to the HWS alignment position.  This is because I wasn't watching the position as I locked it June 23 for the Septum removal; I got lucky though as these are small, likely enough.  You can see these in the trends of the cartesian locations:

PSL Status
After a number of days where the lid was left off the laser, I looked into the high power oscillator this morning.  There was a small pool of water near the post that holds up the cooling hoses and flow sensors.  There was no sign of a leak from the flow sensor fitting that was repaired last week.  I wiped up the puddle of water (the volume of which was maybe a teaspoon).  I suspect that this was water that was originally between the top of the base plate and the bottom of the post that had oozed out.  I left a clean wipe there to wick up the remaining water, if any.

I inspected the optical surfaces, the output coupler, laser rods, and 4f lenses.  Forgot to examine the 45 degree turning mirrors.  I will do that at the next available opportunity.  The lid was replaced onto the laser.

The ante room and laser room were left in science mode, with respect to the air conditioning, fans and make up air.  The lights were switched off.

WHAM4 ISI rebalanced post HWS Alignment--ISI & HEPI Unlocked

1405--1411:  HEPI was locked so I unlocked it.  1427--1438 C3 Covers opened, purge opened.

1440--1610: The ISI was locked and it too was then unlocked.  The balance wasn't too bad but it could be made better so it was.  Haven't exactly tallied the totals but the weight change was small, just moved.  Lock/Unlock change is within spec except H2 with 1700 counds(1600 spec.)

1614: Chamber covered, purge choked down.

 

ISI left Unlocked, HEPI left Unlocked.

The ACB is in it's swing back state (wedge in place) since we need it that way for test mass cleaning ~next week.  However, SEI may choose to drop it back into place if needed until then.

As well, some of the masses are clamped in the QUAD such that they don't knock much while rebalancing is taking place.

h1asc model updated: 8 RFM senders added

[Stefan, Kiwamu]

As part of the CDS activity today, we placed new eight RFM senders in h1asc.mdl. It complied fine and I restarted the model. The ASC frontend was then manually burtrestored to 8:00AM this morning. The SVN revision is now at 8346.

This update had been already applied to the Livingston model (i.e. l1asc.mdl) but we had not until today for some reason. Anyway this update was needed not only for the ASC model but also for making the h1iscex(y) model(s) identical to that of Livingston as the iscex(y) were supposed to acquire these RFM channels. After the restart, we checked a couple of the new channels to see if they successfully send signals to the end station. We checked QPD1_PIT and QPD1_YAW of iscex and seemed fine. We didn't check iscey. We didn't edit the ASC master model at all.

 

The name of the RFM blocks:

kiwamu.izumi@LIGO.ORG - 14:37, Tuesday 08 July 2014 (12650)

We then checked all the eight new RFM channels and confirmed that they all transmitted signals fine.

Dave noticed that there was a bogus blank channel in the ASC_IPC_STATUS screen and the red indicators for the channels associated with iscex and iscey. We then compiled and restarted iscex, iscey and asc models, resulting back in the all-green-good-status and successful removal of the bogus channel. Good.

(Kiwamu, Stefan)

We implemented the changes needed for driving the ALS_WFS_AUTOCENTERING servo from the iscex/ey models. In detail:

- updated ALS_END.mdl model to import LLO changes (include direct dither drive to END PZT's and additional link to QPD error points, see Kiwamu's log entry for ASC changes).
- adapted h1iscex for these changes, including links from ASC (SVN revision 8345)
- adapted h1iscey for these changes, including links from ASC (SVN revision 8347)
- updated ALS_CORNER_ASC.mdl from SVN (adds TRX_A_LF_OUT TRY_A_LF_OUT to science frame)
- Added ALS WFS AUTOCENTERING filter modules to ALS_END (SVN revision 8348), h1iscex and hy1iscey (SVN revision 8349)

- recompiled h1asc, h1iscex and h1iscey

- burt restored to 7am ASC

 - screen for ALS WFS Autocentering
 - update ALS_CUST_ENDSTATION.adl screen for IAL to iscex/y PZT/QPD link

 - update ALS_CUST_ENDSTATION.adl screen for IAL to iscex/y PZT/QPD link

The new auto-centering screen is called ALS_CUST_WFS_AUTOC.adl and it resides in als/common/medm. It is checked into the svn.
