Posted below are the data from DB1, DB4, and 3IFO-DES-CAB long term storage cabinets. All data are with normal ranges and expected patterns. The dip in RH recorded for 3IFO-DES-CAB starting on 06/23/15 is from the Dewar being filled. Greater pressure in the Dewar meant more flow through the cabinet, resulting in a lower RH. In short, the cabinets are working as expected.

I reported suspisions about the ETF (Stanford) Seismometer that is now wired up as the STS2-A or HAM2 ground sensor.  That was ten days ago and here is another look from earlier this morning.  Pretty much same conclusion:  The ITMY and HAM5 units show very good coherence even though they are separated by 30meters.  The HAM2 & ITMY sensors are just a couple meters apart and they are no showing the coherence they should: and the HAM2 & HAM5 sensors coherence is similarly poor..

While the problem may be cable or setup (level or igloo rubbing) I suspect the unit itself.

BTL: Any word on these instruments from your experiences?

Morning Meeting

• Things have been going well
• New person on site. Welcome Jenny the Postdoc!
• ~1 week before ion pump HAM6

Safety Meeting

• Firework = Grass fire!
• busy road, 100+ degree. Tire pressure important when hot.
• If (car) heat goes up, reduce speed, turn off AC.
• Elk spotted on 240!

Happy Holiday!

h1sush56 18bit DAC upgrade

Dave, Jim

We swapped all 5 DAC cards in h1sush56 with the upgraded firmware versions. The DAC cards were moved within the IO Chassis left by 4 slots to distance them from the new DC power board (D1301004). The 4th DAC card failed its autocal. We replaced this card with a new one, and it also failed autocal. We swapped the 4th and 3rd cards to see if this is a card or slot issue, now the 3rd card failed autocal. We put another new card into the 3rd slot and this time the calibration worked, so two cards which fail autocal have been detected.

h1guardian0 reboot

Dave

I rebooted h1guardian0 because its load average had risen into the 30's. This time the load average started around 12 instead of 7 before, so Ganglia was immediately complaining about overloading. It has since risen into the 20's, so rebooting is now short term relief.

h1sush2b reboot

Jim, Dave

h1sush2b had frozen up around 6pm last night. It required a reboot, which we knew would glitch all Dolphin connected computers so it was delayed until today's restarts. When we rebooted it this morning, we then restarted all corner station SUS, SEI and ISC. This in turn performed the autocal of all 18bit DACs which we indended to do today.

PEM ADC DQ channels

Dave

General ADC channels for occassional PEM work are being written to the frame. I set their gains to 0.0 to ensure they compress out in the frame when not in use. I changed SDF accordingly.

h1lsc new filters

The pending filter module change for h1lsc was applied today after the Dolphin glitch. The filter module H1LSC_SRCLFF has a rolloffs fllter,  which moved from the 5th to 10th location within the filter module.

GRB/SN notification code

Dave

This code has crashed when the offsite networking went down. I upgraded h1fescript0 and restarted the code.

Leap Second

Stefan, Greg, Patrick, Jim, Dave

we tested that the CDS systems handled the leap second addition correctly. All systems did so, but surprisingly conlog crashed (Patrick is investigating). Greg confirmed frames and correct. Dave and Jim check NDS clients dtt and dataviewer.

I sent a small excitation into MC2 M3 LL last night (29/06/2015 22:37 UTC) and again today after the autocalibration was done (7/1/2015 00:35 UTC). 

The attached screenshot shows the voltmon channel, both before and after.  There isn't a clear difference, it seems like there could be a discontinuity at the zero crossing in both cases, but it is not obvious from the time series if things are better or not after the autocalibration.

We've implemented the ISI CPS -> MICH feedforward (MICH freeze). It was a fairly simple process:

We installed the feedforward coefficients that Ryan suggests in his writeup. These could be re-measured to potentially improve the subtraction.

Then we compared the spectrum of the feedfoward signal and the MICH control signal. We saw a relative gain of 188, so this was added to a filter bank in the feedforward path.

We added a 50Hz low pass to the feedforward path so we aren't injecting too much noise.

When the feedforward path is enabled, we have a reduction in the MICH control signal RMS by a factor of 2-3. See attached figure (reference traces are with FF turned off).

The CPS has a 9Hz feature. Jim says it's from HEPI. This is injected into the MICH control signal, but the change to the RMS is insignificant.

Also attached is the settings of the MEDM screens. Several of these are 'hidden' because they have only been autogenerated and not added to the main screens.

Finally, the easy way to turn on and off the feedforward is by setting the channel H1:LSC-CPSFF_GAIN to 0 (off) or 1 (on). It has a 10 second ramp.

All Timing IRIG-B Modules at LHO are now currently showing the correct number of leap seconds: 17

The leap second was added automatically at 23:59:59 UTC on June 30th, 2015 using the leap second functionality on the IRIG-B.

Patched ldas-tools-1.19.32 with new leap second data, rebuilt and installed in /opt/rtapps.  Built new versions of daqd for the frame writers, NDS, broadcaster, and data concentrator.  Restarted data concentrator to get new daqd running on the DAQ.  Frames are being written with the correct value for leap seconds.

Connected LD to HAM6 annulus aux. cart (in parallel i.e. "split" flow) and sprayed audible flow of helium around entire periphery of East and South door outer O-rings pausing for 5 seconds at each leak check slot -> no LD response -> Began pumping HAM6 

Also, backed X-end turbo with LD (LD only, scroll removed) and sprayed new, untested, conflats at X-end with 20 seconds of audible helium flow - OK -> resumed backing turbo with scroll pump

Hugh and I went to HAM3 this morning to see if we could find the cause of the 23 hz line. Finding nothing at the chamber, we decided to start turning stuff off to see if we could get it to go away. Taking the ISI and HEPI down did nothing, but turning the suspension off made the line go away. I then started turning the SUS back on and as soon as I took MC2 to aligned, the 23hz peak showed up. Jeff said that it was likely the sat amplifier needed power cycled, so Hugh is filing an FRS and this is being handed off to Richard. Attached image shows HAM3 GS-13s between 20 and 30 hz. Red is from last night, when everything was on, blue is everything off, green is MC2 aligned (everything else off).  HEPI L4Cs and both SUS also saw the peak.
