Kiwamu created a new h1lsc0 model called h1lscaux. I have added it to the h1boot system and the DAQ. The DAQ was then restarted. 
h1lscaux was restarted to get the awgtpman to startup.

17:11PST, restarted DAQ against modified susaux models and latest Beckhoff ini files (4 channels added to c1plc2). Found that the models h1susaux(ex, h34) needed a manual start due to burt button not pressed quickly enough.

Today I finished up modifying the SUS monitor models as it has been deployed at LLO in december (alog 9964 and alog 10010), under ECR 1300261 in order to add the voltage and noise monitors in the frame + science frame for each individual osem. The following models were modified, recompiled, and commited to the svn :

h1susb123 (bs, itmx, itmy) rev 7070
h1susauxh2 (mc1, mc3, prm, pr3, im1, im2, im3, im4) rev 7087
h1susauxh34 (mc2, pr2, sr2) rev 7072
h1susauxh56 (srm, omc)  rev 7074
h1susauxex (etmx, tmsx)  rev 7083
h1susauxey (etmy, tmsy) rev 7085

Details of modifications are specified below :

For the quads :

M0/R0 Noisemon was changed from 1024 to 512Hz
M0/R0 Voltmon was changed from 1024Hz to 256Hz

We are testing the h1odcmaster on the DAQ test stand, this has required that the H1.ipc file be replaced with a copy of the one from the h1 system (with host names changed from h1 to x1).  The previous H1.ipc has been saved as H1.ipc.11feb2014.  This will be restored when we are finished troubleshooting.

X-Translation Push

Started off the day securing the TMS with "hard stops" and installing (7) teflon-tipped dog clamps on the TMS Upper Structure & Pusher in preparation for our horizontal translation of ~6.5mm to the "left".  Doug watched us as we pushed the entire assembly this distance.

Yaw Alignment

After the big move, we then set up to fix the yaw of the structure.  This took a few iterations, because we noticed that after we Yawed and looked good, we would back off the Pusher and see that the structure springed back a little.  So we had to figure out how to overshoot and then have it spring back to nominal.  Once Doug was happy here, we torqued down all the Dog Clamps (25ft-lbs) and moved to pitch.

Pitch Alignment

The TMS was then freed up, balanced, and prepared for pitch work.  The back end of the TMS was seen to be pitched UP, so Yuta and I moved the TMS Table Counterweights toward the back, and we were able to get the Table pretty flat according to Doug.

Clean-Up & Tomorrow

So with this alignment, with a 0.0 Pitch & Yaw bias, we had a most excellent alignment of the TMS.  Doug and Jason were excused and we worked on finishing clean-up:  remove all Pusher hardware, re-install/torque removed Dog Clamps, re-adjust BOSEMs to new alignment, and then put TMS on EQ Stops.

NEXT UP:  Install tooling to secure the TMS for Cartridge insertion.

   The in chamber power spectra (aLOG #9961) for H1-SR2 showed noise at around 10Hz and up which does not appear in the LLO spectra for the same type suspension and phase of testing. Per the testing group’s request, the spectra data for H1-SR2 was reprocessed to show the individual channel data for each DOF and with additional comparisons to other LHO HSTS suspensions. The plots are posted below. All scripts and data files have been committed to the SVN repository.

Stefan restarted the h1odcmaster model which has been running since Friday evening and it did two things: locked up the h1oaf0 machine and caused DAQ errors on both end station front end computers, plus LSC, ASC and SUSAUXB123. Running start-streamers on the affected front-ends did not fix the problem. We took h1oaf0 out of the dolphin fabric, its console was locked up so we power cycled the CPU. All the models started OK and the MX stream error resolved itself. A few minutes later the IOP IRIGB drifted upwards to 66 and then back down to 15.

I stopped the h1oafmaster model and then started it again. Once again it froze up the CPU but this time no MXSTREAM errors on other front ends.

We took h1oaf0 out of the fabric and power cycled, once again h1odcmaster started (with 0x2000 DAQ error due to INI file mismatch). 

We are now testing on the DTS.

The login machine has been updated today, including an updated authentication module.  This work required a reboot of the system.

The first power amplifier after the IFR function generator was saturation at an input of +13dBm.

- I reduced IFR from +13dBm to +10dBm to avoid saturation.
- I backed out all 3dB attenuators in the various feed lines.
- I added a 3-way power combiner in the the 9MHz line to the EOM.

This increased the drive to the 9MHz EOM by 10*log10(3)=4.77dB (compared to the original setting), or 1.77dB compared to yesterday's setting.

We now should have a 9MHz modulation index Gamma of about 0.17.

A new version of gds tools has been installed for the DAQ test stand computers running Ubuntu 12.04 or Mac OS X.  This will be effective with new logins or tools started from the command line of a new terminal window.  The changes include a fix for diaggui to allow it to display reference traces with the proper x-axis values (Bugzilla 254), and a fix for foton to increase the number of significant digits used in design strings.

Yesterday we made some measurements for the noise model (end sation PDH spectra and open loop), and ALS COMM slow path, fast path and open loop). 

Then we moved on to trying to make some noise measurements.  We tuned the demod phase of RF A 9 to put the signal in the Q phase (we don't have enough range with the phase shifter to put it in the I phase).  The demod is now on local control (remote controls not working) with al switches down except for 8, 2, 1, and 1/2 (11.5 ns delay). 

We also tried to check the IR alingment into the arm cavity by locking at the transmitted PD.  We found the 00 mode with the COMM PLL offset at 1.23, and saw up to 90 counts in transmission.  We saw a misalingment mode (between pitch and yaw) at 6.48, with 17 counts in transmission.  We strugged to improve this, mostly because the transmitted power was fluctuating so much from the frequency noise. 

We engaged the boost on the PLL readback path, (adding more DC gain to ALS CARM).  This reduced the noise significantly, although we were still moving by mre than a linewidth, so we can't really make a linear measurement when locked with ALS COMM. 

This is the commercial software controlling the Lighthouse particle counters in the H1 PSL enclosure.

Logging into h0dust (Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit virtual machine) through VNC this afternoon I found the error message in the attached pictures.

I found two related events under Event Viewer (Local) -> Windows Logs -> Application on 2/7/2014 11:02:01 AM. The text of the errors is attached.

Searching for related information I found the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2640103

HAM3-ISI tripped recently and needed to be turned back on. Commissioners noticed that the command buttons were not working anymore.

It turns out that someone ran an SVN update on the following file: /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/isi/common/scripts/HAMISItool, which was to be updated along with new models, screens and scripts, after testing at MIT. Having a model/script mismatch, the command script would be looking for inexistent channels, and fail.

I reverted HAMISItool to -r5830. This script should not be updated from the SVN again, until the latest HAM-ISI update gets propagated.

HAM3-ISI was turned back on with Isolation Lv3 and 01_28 blend filters. Target values were not changed to ensure returning to previous alignment.

Jeff B. & Kate G.

A horizontal 4" witness plate (wafer) and horizontal 1" optic (S/N 1247) were placed near the center of the SEI table on Feb 5th. A vertical 1" optic (S/N 1245) was mounted on the HR side of SR2. A vertical wafer still needs to be set near SR2. 

Important notes: Witness samples were not placed immediately after the chamber was opened. Jeff did some cleaning before SR2 was installed and the wafers and optics were placed. Also, the 1" optics were removed from their PET G containers, put in PEEK holders, double bagged, and stuck in a bag with other tools before going in chamber. I didn't see obvious scratches in the First Contact, so hopefully the samples weren't damaged.
