difficulty recovering ETMY ISI through Guardian

While trying to untrip the ETMY ISI through guardian the ISI stage 2 watchdogs tripped (again). JeffK suggested manually turning on the Gain filters for the GS-13 inputs (to reduce the analog gain by 10...or LOW GAIN mode), resetting the watchdogs again, then requesting Fully_Isolated from guardian.

if it is necessary to reduce the gain by hand, shouldn't guardian handle this?

> if it is necessary to reduce the gain by hand, shouldn't guardian handle this?

Yes it should, if it is determined that this is necessary to achieve full isolation.  However, this wasn't previously necessary, so something in the system has clearly changed.

But either way, more information is needed.  Did you try letting guardian handle the isolation with the default procedure more than once?  If so, did it trip the GS13 in the same way every time?  Presumably lowering the GS13 input gain did allow the isolation to succeed?  Was there other activity going on around ETMY at the time?  Have any other parameters of the system changed, such as cart bias offsets on any of the HPI or ISI dofs?

justin.bergman@LIGO.ORG - 07:39, Tuesday 08 July 2014 (12641)

All good questions. Mostly I just wanted to get a trip report logged as a data point to see if this is happening with some frequency and not getting reported.

There was no other work going on at EY at the time and the seismic background was not particularly choppy. I did not let guardian try a second time before changing the gain. As for changes to the DOFs or bias, I don't know. Guess we'll just see if it happens again. Thanks.

Beer Garden CR wall fell partially down again

I had to repair the false CR wall around the BSC3 door this morning because I found it had falled down sometime since last Wed.  Note, if doing this type of false wall in the future, tape needs to be added perpendicular to the joint tape, to make reinforcing "stitches" across the sheet joints.

EY IOP software watchdog found to have been tripped since last Wed

Dave noticed that the IOP software watchdog for EY was not active. We found that the watchdog had been tripped since ~11am last wednesday (7/2/14). The IO chassis had been restarted at that time but the IOP watchdog had not.

Jim, Jeff, Arnaud, Dave, Justin

The EY SUS system was not reactivated following the reboots due to loss of 24V-DC on the IO Chassis last Wednesday (2nd July).

Jim and I went to EY and found that the new SWWD DACKILL is not disabling the AI chassis like it used to, we have reported this to Rolf. Also the lower AI chassis was found powered down and when we tried to start it up its power switch tripped off. Looks like overcurrent on the 15V-DC line. We unplugged and tagged the AI Chassis. With Jeff and Arnaud we found the 5th DAC is for ETMY ESD drive, so they are going ahead with damping the ETMY and TMSY suspensions, sans ESD.

h1fw0 unstable, will fix on monday

h1fw0 is unstable, but provided h1fw1 continues to be stable there is no data loss. LDAS are automatically archiving h1fw1's frames when they are unavailable from h1fw0. The default NDS is h1nds1 (which reads h1fw1's frames) so there is no discontinuity of data for NDS clients. The current uptime of h1fw0's full frames is 85%.

HWS HAM4 optics alignment

Aidan, Thomas, Matt, Jason

We aligned the in-chamber HAM4 HWS optics using the IAS beam this afternoon.

1. Matt adjusted the alignment of SR3 to center the IAS beam on SR2.

2. I confirmed the beam was centered on HWSY STEER M1 (the transmission through SR2).

3. I adjusted HWSY STEER M1 to center the beam on HWSY STEER M2

4. Matt adjusted HWSY STEER M2 to center the beam on HWSY STEER M3

5. Matt adjusted HWSY STEER M3 to center the beam on the HWSY VAC LENS. This also centered the red beam on the installed viewport emulator.

6. Matt adjusted the HWSY DCBS by M2 such that the reflection off this optic, which will be 1064nm leakage, was captured by the HWSY scraper baffle (in the crook of the baffle on the -Y side of it). He also confirmed that the beam was centered on that DCBS. There were two reflections from the DCBS that were horizontally separated. 

7. I adjusted HWSX STEER M1 to center the beam on HWSX STEER M2. 

8. Matt adjusted HWSX STEER M2 and M3 to center the beam on M3 and on the viewport emulator (without HWSX VAC LENS installed)

9. Matt installed HWSX VAC LENS to return the beam to the same point on the viewport emulator

10. Matt adjusted HWSX DCBS to put the reflection of the red beam off that optic into the crook of the HWSX scraper baffle in the -Y direction. There were two reflections from the DCBS - one was at the same height as the incoming beam and the other was angled down and in the -Y direction. 

11. Since I'd forgotten this step to start with, I moved HWSX STEER M1 ~5mm parallel to its surface to make sure the beam was centered on the aperture of that optic. The distance of the beam from the edge of the aperture is shown in the attached PDF. We also placed a target far downstream of this optic, noted the position of the beam before the optic was moved and returned the beam to that position after the optic was moved to ensure the alignment was not affected.

Photos of the optics are attached. We took several shots of HWSX STEER M1 and HWSX STEER M2 as these optics were moved from what is shown in the H1 HAM4 assembly drawing.

Setup for HWS optic alignment

Matt H, Jason O, Aidan B, Thomas V

Aidan will write an alog regarding the alignment of the HWS optics in HAM4, this is more about the setup to do it.

 

We haven't been able to solve why the SR3 is pitched low and so I locked the face EQ stops of all three stages, then with Jason making sure the pointing of the HeNe of the total station was correct and that the beam splitter offsets were engaged and damping on, and Aidan standing at HAM4 directing me using the headsets, I altered the EQ stops on the optic of SR3 so as to steer the beam onto the center of SR2 optic (or as close as we could tell it was to center).

 

This was enough to allow the alignment of the HWS to begin. Just for curiosity we looked at how the beam was going from SR2 to SRM. Luckily we could see it and so we could steer the HeNe beam onto roughly the centre of SRM with ~1500 offset in pitch and ~1800 offset value in YAW on SR2 upper mass (note Jason seemed to think that the sign of which way the beam went up and down when he provided an offset was flipped. Maybe someone wants to look into that).  So thats a good sign.

 

Note: The HWS optics were aligned WITHOUT any offsets applied to SR2.

Slight correction:  +1500 offset in pitch, +800 offset in yaw to direct beam from SR2 to SRM.

Little red-haired girl saves day (again)
And she's not even here today .....

PeterK, MichaelL, JeffB, RickS

Betsy located some aluminum ClassA parts yesterday that we were able to use today to improvise some strain relief for the PSL ISS PD array cables in HAM2.

Jeff and Michael were able to locate some PEEK cable ties (very handy) that we used to dress the cables to the improvised bracket (see attached photos).

Peter is doing one final set of electrical tests now, after which we will consider the ISS PD installation complete (and successful).

After the last cable tie was added.  All 8 photodiode electrical connections were checked.  Both the lower middle left and lower right connections had to be reseated.  Afterwards all diodes checked out okay.

The dust particle monitor indicated zero counts for all sizes after the end of the check out.

This structure is likely to have resonances well below 150 Hz in the vertical direction, and may interfere with the Z, and probably RX and RY loops on the ISI. Please be careful when turning the ISI system back on, and watch the GS-13 signal for ring-ups. Some notching may be required on the loops.
