This is a follow up on the alog17529. Below you'll find the list of violin mode frequencies we found and averaged frequencies including possible alternatives. The fiber is determined using data gathered in alog16614 (which cites alog11184, alog9359, alog11044, and alog6858). The air frequency included in the last column.
The way alternatives work is that, if you choose to use one, you have to use the next alternative as well. For instant, if you decide for 508.00075 line to be averaged violin mode for the ETMY FR, you have to use 508.176 as the ETMY FL line. Or if you were to pick 508.21725 as the ETMY FL, you have to use 508.213 as the ETMY BL. This seems a little bit confusing so I attached the original Excel file as well.
Any comments, questions, and suggestions welcome.
Ps. I don't know why alog keeps making new entries everytime I add things to the table and update the file. Sorry for the spam!

A similar study has been done by Keith Riles at LLO here.
I have been looking back at the identification of violin modes done in the past and as it seems this table is one of the latest I would like to highlight the error on the last column notice the in-air measurements are mixed between ITMX and ITMY as per: https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=16614 and https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=11062.
Jim, Krishna,
After the troubles described in alog 17386, BRS was turned off to allow it to damp down naturally. This morning Jim and I restarted the BRS as attempted earlier in 17309. This time, the amplitude of the balance was low enough and we simply had to reposition the damper and start the software. Everything worked as designed. The attached plot shows the damping of the beam-balance.
After things had settled down I checked the spectra of the signals coming out of BRS and the tilt-subtracted super-sensor and everything looks normal. Wind speeds were at 0-10 mph and the subtraction looked good as seen in the attached pdf. The first plot shows the ground T240 X motion, the BRS_RY ( * w^2/g), ST1 T240 X and the super-sensor. The next plot shows coherences between these sensors.
Better late than never, right?
While I was at EX on this day, I also went out to the chamber and checked the corner 3 CPS rack (re: the bumbling line, most recently discussed in alog 17681) and found nothing amiss. All cables are secured, all CPS field racks are grounded and have all their screws. Haven't had time to look at this in more detail (pulling cables, cards, turning stuff off and on again, etc.).

Attached are the Phase 3b damped and undamped TFs of SR2 taken over the last few months.
Note, there is only the damped M2 stage TF due to the fact that there is a broken coil o magne at that stage and I was leary of driving too hard or too much.
Due to a scaling issue affecting lower stages of the suspension, these TFs have been re-processed, and are presented in LHO aLOG entry 17786.

I looked into the coherence of DARM with all channels, using 10 minutes of data from 2015-04-02 11.00.00 UTC, which seems a period of high and stable range from the detchar summary page. Here is the result:
https://ldas-jobs.ligo.caltech.edu/~gabriele.vajente/bruco_1112007616/
And as usual, my digest. In very brief summary, nothing really new above 10 Hz, OMC noise below 10 Hz.
We use ITMY as the actuator for MICH and SRCL FF.
The FF is frequency-independent right now, which is probably why there is still MICH/DARM and SRCL/DARM coherence at some frequencies.
In fact, in this period we have been testing the intensity injection at 750Hz to see if the intensity coupling is a function of the MICH error offset or not. That's the reason why there was high coherence between the intensity and darm.

ISS Diffracted Power seems to be trending higher on the order of ~5%/day since the 28th. Yesterday, 4/1/15 I set it to ~ 7% at 17:45UTC.This morning it's up to ~ 12%. I've adjusted the power back down to 7% at a refsignal of (-)2.08. Funny thing is, it seems to have been doing just the opposite between the 23rd and the 27th. Between the 19th and the 23rd it did a bit if both.

A few bugs have cropped in the TCS system up since Acceptance. There are also some measurements that we should perform. The following is a list of these and the current status/plans to tackle them.
Koji, Sheila, Dan, Evan
Noise coupling measurements for MICH, SRCL, PRCL, intensity, and frequency have been taken.
We also tried a few small noise-hunting activities.
For PRCL, MICH, and SRCL, we excited each dof with a swept sine and then recorded the transfer function from the error signal (IN1) to the DARM channel. MICH was already done previously.
For intensity, we did the same as described earlier.
For frequency, we used the same DAC channel (LSC-EXTRA_AO_2) to drive the common-mode board excitation point with a few millivolts of swept sine. Then we recorded the transfer function from REFL_A_9I (which is out of loop) to the DARM channel.
The dtt files are attached. More analysis to follow.
Koji and I saw that ASC-MICH_P had significant cohrence with the DARM spectrum between 20 and 40 Hz. We took an OLTF and found that the UGF was 2 Hz with 60° of phase. We installed an elliptic LPF at 20 Hz, which removed most of this coherence (see attached). Correspondingly, the DARM spectrum dropped by a factor of 1.5 or so around 30 Hz.
We then tried to tune the bias of the EX ESD to see if we could improve the DARM spectrum. We could not find a sharp optimum; rather, anything from −190 V to 0 V seemed to be OK.
Koji then suggested trying to excite a scattering shelf in DARM by driving the OMC suspension. We drove the suspension longitudinally, transversely, and then vertically by a few microns at 0.15 Hz, but we found we could not make anything appear in the DARM spectrum.
Twice today the high voltage for the OMC PZT tripped, requriring the power supply to be reset by hand. The voltage is set at 100 V and the current limit is 2 mA. The quiescent draw is 0.8 mA.
DARM OLTF attached.
Here are results from an SR785 spectrum of the output of the DCPD whitening field amp for OMC DCPD 1. I have included the ASD plot as a PDF and listed the major frequencies below. Below Nyquist the frequencies are consistent with H1:IOP-LSC0_MADC0_TP_CH12, so I have used these instead of the frequencies derived from the SR785 data. The amplitudes are from the SR785 data throughout. Those amplitudes differ from H1:IOP-LSC0_MADC0_TP_CH12 as they are measured before the whitening filter / antiwhitening DSP. Index.

The CO2 power supply cables, which normally connected with a Delrin feedthrough, are now directly connected. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem of the low laser power. The max power output was ~5 watts and the power consumption was under 10 amps. After looking through the usual suspects I'm guessing that the RF driver has crapped out again. Replacing it will have to wait until an opportunity comes up. The AOM had it's power supply switched from the Instek (which was being shared with the laser) to the Kepco power supply. The AOM is now running at 25v and ~2 amps. This will be checked over when the laser is once again running full power.
We're working on a heavy duty connector for these power cables. The existing connectors are simply too flimsy to handle the weight.

Since we moved the ALS fiber AOM from a fixed frequency drive to the IMC VCO on saturday, we have had some annoying ALS locklosses. This morning we thought through what we are using as a frequency reference now, and made some changes to the way that we lock and engage tidal.
So the final configuration is that the Y arm is the reference, the X arm length follows the Y arm length, and the IMC follows the X arm. This is working much better I think, we haven't had the frustrating locklosses this afternoon and evening.
For a historical perspective: Using the IMC VCO to drive the fiber AOM was our original configuration. During the HIFO tests we switched to a fixed frequency oscillator for the fiber AOM to de couple the arm locking from the IMC. As a consequence of the many improvements in the seismic isolation systems we became more sensitive to wind induced motions at very low frequencies. In turn this required more range in the VCOs used to lock the green light to the arm cavities. So much so that we frequently run out during elevated wind activity. Most of this motion turns out to be common. So, by locking the IMC to an arm cavity and by letting the fiber AOM follow the IMC we effectively reduce the required range for the end station VCOs. The IMC VCO has four times the range because the reference cavity AOM is double passed and because of the different wavelength. The penalty we pay is that the IMC now needs to be locked stably for enabling green arm cavity locking. However, during the current commissioning period and during observational runs this is not much of a disadvantage.

Using the OMC suspension as an actuator for HAM6 centering caused large motion of OMC, and added scattering noise to DARM (17273.) For this reason we rearranged the centering loops to center only on AS A and not AS B (alog 17325). This is what livinsgton does, but they only use AS A WFS for feedback. We had difficulty with our ASC on monday 17577, which we though was due to the beam nt being well centered on WFS B, and indeed reverting our HAM6 centering fixed the problem. Now we would like to see if we can use only one of our AS WFS for control.
One option would be to move D ETM control to WFS B, however we saw that there is a sign flip in the WFS B signal between the CARM offset where we first engage the D etm wfs and the signals on resonance, this was similar to what was seen at LLO. Today we looked into switching the BS and SRM loops from WFS B to WFS A. First Elli tuned the phase of the indivual segments to minimize the SRM signal seem in the Q phase. We were able to switch the BS loops over to WFS A, we replace the input matrix element with a -1 for AS A 36 Q yaw and -0.5 for AS A 36 Q pit. We could close the loops like this and they seemed stable, but the build up in AS 90 was lower than when we locked using AS B. In full lock we looked at this again, we were able to switch YAW over to AS A using the same matrix element, but the zero crossing for the pitch error signal was at an alingment where the build up was not very good.
Once the BS was switched over to AS A, we had a look at switching over the SRM feedback in DRMI. The offsets in the error signals were much smaller after we had already switched the BS control to AS A than before, and we did close the loops. However, something became misaligned which was fixed as soon as we opened the loop.
Aslo, we have had at least two lock losses in the last two days that I think were caused by engaging the SRC2 loop. This is the loop from AS_C to SR2, which has a term in the output matrix that also feeds it to SRM. The control signal sent to SRM has caused SRM to saturate in the two attached screen shots.
J. Kissel I've turned on the calibration lines that are injected into the DARM loop. Their frequency has been pre-chosen to be 34.7 and 538.1 [Hz] (see selection criteria from LLO aLOG 15870). For their amplitude, instead of going through the rigor of reverse-calibrating exactly the right amplitude in DARM_CTRL [counts] to get exactly a line of x [m] in DELTA L EXTERNAL to get an exact SNR of 30, I've just copied the amplitude Joe had chosen for comparable L1 sensitivity during ER6 (see LLO aLOG 15944).

Where you actually enter in / change these important parameters is on the green-backgrounded DEMOD screens. - The computation of the optical gain calibration is still off / zero, because I haven't entered in the values for the reference open loop gain at the line frequency (and various other dams are shut along the path to actually have it correct the DARM sensing function). - All of the new optical gain compensation EPICs records had *not* been monitored but the SDF system, because the new channels did not, by default, have their SDF mask bits set to unity. So, I have to use sdf_set_monitor to turn on all the new bits in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/cal/h1/models/h1calcs_safe.snap and then update the table (only) for them to be monitored, and then I captured a new safe SDF file with all of the settings as shown in the screenshot. - I've checked a 10 [Mpc] reference spectra from March 27th 2015 -- the 10 [hour] lock stretch, so I could get 1 [mHz] resolution -- for features at these calibration line frequencies. Nothing there! *phew*. See attached screenshots of "Reference DARM;" both the full spectra, and the zooms at 34.7 and 538.1 [Hz]. - After lots of hemming and hawing about the bandwidth of the DEMOD's signal bandpass and frequency of the DEMOD's demodulated outputs' low-pass, I decided to just try something "reasonable," and acknowledge that we'll have to iterate. As such, I chose a 1 [Hz] bandwidth for the band-pass and a corner frequency of 0.01 [Hz] for the lowpasses. The exact foton design strings are: Band passes (4th order chebychev bandpass, with 1 [dB] ripple, with 1st and 2nd frequencies as defined below) cheby1("BandPass",4,1,34.2,35.2) cheby1("BandPass",4,1,537.6,538.6) Low passes (3rd order elliptic low pass, with 1 [dB] ripple, with 40 [dB] stop-band suppression, with a corner frequency of 0.01 [Hz]) ellip("LowPass",3,1,40,0.01) I attach bode plots. - Things you only find out when you turn things on: the MEDM display of some critical channels like the line amplitude were displayed on the screen in the "truncated" format. That means that numbers less unity don't show up! This is obviously yuck, since the calibration line amplitudes are less than one DARM_CTRL counts. So, I've updated the userapps/release/cal/common/medm/CAL_CS_GAMMA_LINE_OVERVIEW.adl userapps/release/cds/common/medm/LOCKIN_DEMOD.adl MEDM screens to display a precision of either 3, 4, or 6 sig figs beyond the decimal by default, and committed to the repo.
I used the latest ~30 [Mpc] lock stretch to tune the amplitudes of both calibration lines live, by eye. Shooting for an SNR of ~20, and an even, easily remember-able amplitude, I ended up with the following amplitudes: H1:CAL-CS_GAMMA_LINE1_DEMOD_OSC_CLKGAIN is now 0.5 [ct]. (the 34.7 [Hz] line) H1:CAL-CS_GAMMA_LINE2_DEMOD_OSC_CLKGAIN is now 2.0 [ct]. (the 538.1 [Hz] line) I attach two portions of the calibrated DELTA L EXTERNAL spectra: - low frequency: we see both the new DARM calibration line at 34.7 the Y arm PCal at 36.7 [Hz]. - high frequency: we see both the new DARM calibration line at 538.1 and the X arm PCal at 534.7 [Hz]. Don't they look so cute together!! I dare not analyze this data and claim anything about calibration -- the lines are far too new, and it's far too late in the night. BUT -- for future reference, templates of these calibrated ASDs live in /ligo/svncommon/CalSVN/aligocalibration/trunk/Runs/PreER7/H1/Measurements/DARMASDs/ 2015-04-01-0432UTC_H1DARM_ASD_34p7Hz_at0p5ct.xml 2015-04-01-0432UTC_H1DARM_ASD_538p1Hz_at2p0ct.xml
