We continued working on the alignment of IMC today. We managed to get the alignment back i.e. the beam hits the center of the IM4_TRANS QPD with all WFSs in action. It is now happiy locking.
However, we found that the IM1 trans path, which is used for a camera and trigger PD, seemed clipped. By moving the mirrors on IOT2L, we concluded that the clipping happened in chamber, namely in HAM2. This is not a critical issue as this light is used only for triggering purpose and it still gives a reasonable amount of the light. We will keep studying what is happening in the chamber. Perhaps this could be due to the uncontrolled degrees of freedom in the IMC alignment control.
What we did:
Sysadmin tasks: Patched internal machines accessible from outside of CDS. Performed nmap network scans on 10.20.0.0/24 and 10.101.0.0/24 subnets. Updated network drawings
h1asc0: Replaced the h1asctt model with the new h1sushtts model.
updated the H1EDCU_DAQ.ini file to trend status of all models. Updated autoBurt.req for DAQ frame writers to archive all EPICS channels associated with these systems.
Updated overvew MEDMs (for ASC TT change)
Multiple DAQ restarts were required to support these changes.
- FM-200 Systems (OSB and LSB), annual inspection took place today.
- Apollo at Y-End, working on extraction of cartridge out of BSC06.
- Baling crew @ Y-arm, baling tumbleweeds, now at X-Arm, opening a path.
- Kiwamu and Stefan, working on IMC recovery.
- Dave, some DAQ reboots.
- Thomas, to LVEA, connected TCS ring heater for ITMY.
Kyle, Gerardo Repair of the drying towers is done but the purge-air supply isn't available to the LVEA yet -> We still need to devise a method to demonstrate the effectiveness of the removal of the alumina dust before routing the dry air through the final filtration stages and on to the LVEA
HEPI common parts were updated yesterday per WP #4315
HEPI-HAM2 and HEPI-HAM3 were turned ON using the new Command scrips (Command2 Button from the overview screen).
They are running on their respective position loops, with the generic position blend filters (L4C=0, IPS=1).
Both HEPIs are aligned to the initial alignment position (aLog 7180)

I worked on putting together a Contamination Control cart (CCC) as Calum requested while he was visiting. It is at Y End. The cart contains most of the components for a clean Top Gun Ionizer set-up (Top Gun, regulator, wrench, and hoses but no N2), a Tiger Vac with hose and attachments, a power strip, Alpha 10 wipes, a flashlight array with extra batteries, and Class B glass bottles for IPA. The cart and contents are covered in C-3. Please see pix below. Feel free to use the cart for Clean as You Go activities and then let me know how the cart can be improved.
J. Kissel, D. Barker There was a significant amount of extra work installing the new HAUX and HTTS models on their respective front ends, so I detail below. ${userapps}/sus/${ifo}/models/${ifo}sushtts.mdl ------------------------------------ - Make sure to remove ${ifo}asctt and replace with ${ifo}sushtts (or capitalized version, when appropriate) in the following files: - /diskless/root/etc/rtsystab (on boot machine, i.e. ${ifo}boot0) - ${userapps}/release/cds/${ifo}/daqfiles/${ifo}dc0/master (which hopefully is the source of the softlink in /opt/rtcds/${site}/${ifo}/target/${ifo}dc0/) - the framebuilder's .ini file, - the test point manager's .par file, and - the EPICs database's EDCU .ini file - ${userapps}/release/cds/${ifo}/daqfiles/${IFO}EDCU_DAQ.ini - Log onto ${ifo}build front-end - make ${ifo}sushtts - make install-${ifo}sushtts - Log onto ${ifo}asc0 front-end - kill${ifo}asctt (Needs to be removed from front-end kernel, since it'll no longer be used) - start${ifo}sushtts ${userapps}/sus/${ifo}/models/${ifo}susim.mdl (much more simple, more typical since the model already exists) ------------------------------------ - Log onto ${ifo}build - make ${ifo}susim - make install-h1susim - Log onto ${ifo}sushh2b - start${ifo}susim Since there are a ton of new channels, one will need to restart the data-concentrator, - telnet h1dc0 8087 > shutdown And for good measure (because it seemed to be running slowly), we restarted the EPICs gateway, but this isn't necessary. Stay tuned -- a plethora of MEDM screen modifications are next!
I think the second section should actually be ${userapps}/sus/${ifo}/models/${ifo}susim.mdl (much more simple, more typical since the model already exists)
Fixed. Thanks Keith!

This is an alog which I was going to post yesterday but hesitated to post as Stefan already posted his one (see alog 8791).
We are still in the process of recovering the IMC locking. The alignment got back to an OK state where we can try locking the IMC, but currently it is prevented by the corner Twincat as it is unable to control the common mode board for some reason.
Here is what we did today:
The attached is the initial alignment of the day where we could get a decent flash.
ITMX: Approximately 80% installed, still need to run cables and plug in electronics as well as connect the enclosures to the viewports, this requires a work permit so I'll wait till later today to get one signed. Beamsplitter: Data has been taken to calibrate the optlev signals using the M1 and M2 stage OSEMS, will analyze later today and append a graph to compare to other methods of calibrating.
J. Kissel, D. Barker After consulting with Dave this morning, and him snooping around a bit, it turns out the compilation failure of the h1sushtts.mdl (see LHO aLOG 8777) was just a stupid mistake of an extra carriage return under the OM3 block. Sheesh. The new HTTS front-end model, ${userapps}/release/sus/h1/models/h1sushtts.mdl now compiles just fine. In addition I've moved on to and finished the same upgrade to the HAUX front-end model, ${userapps}/release/sus/h1/models/h1susim.mdl I'll reinstall, restart, and restore tomorrow during maintenance and then begin the process of updating the MEDM screens with the hopes to be done by the end of the day. That will FINALLY close out the modifications to ALL SUS from ECR E1300578.
It appeared this morning that the IOC for the dust monitor at end X had stopped. When I telneted into the procServ process on h0epics, it seemed to automatically start running again with no other action on my part, which is strange. It still required renabling the dust monitor and burtrestoring it however.

Kiwamu, Stefan, After cabling up IOT2L, we verified that we see fringes on the IMC, and then realigned the whole IMC REFL path on IOT2L. To hit the top periscope mirror in the center we decided to move the whole table by ~3/4 in to the left (+x) - this should also have centered the transmitted beam periscope. We have not done a full transmitted beam alignment, but we did quickly center the transmitted fringes on the camera. We are now getting 930 counts on H1:IMC-REFL_DC_OUTMON - this compares to about 3500cts when we were sending in 1W, consistent with the ~300mWatt being sent from the PSL now. We again noticed a IMC RF phase flip by 90deg (the 5th time or so - I now stopped counting). So we moved the error signal from Q to I. The PDH error signal right now is still very small, but we haven't done a full IMC alignment. Right now the corner Beckhoff seems to be down, and we cannot control the IMC board.
We did everything we needed to allow people to move the ISI out except to cover the entire TMSY with a quad sock. We couldn't find one. Something for tomorrow.
TMS EQ stop thing from BSC6 was moved to BSC10 (it's sitting on the floor in the chamber).
Also: all in-vac cables were also disconnected from feed-thrus. Cable clamps for these cables for these cables were also removed and all these cables are dangling down from ISI (Jim will pull them up and stash up top in the morning.
Two cleanings of the Test Stand/Work Space cleanrooms have been completed. The garbing-staging cleanroom was returned to the top of the E-module form the north side of the beamtube and re-cleaned.
I located D1200329-v4-002 in the LVEA near the West Bay Pallet racks. (BTW: This item shows no evidence of being turned over to 3IFO LTS custody.) The Apollo crew helped me move it to the High Bay roll-up door so that it can be retrieved for shipment. Terry S. is aware of this item and will get it shipped to LLO ASAP (weight ~35 lbs).
There is a similar report from the last May (alog 6265). I wonder if an optic is loose somewhere in this path.
