Here is the list of DAQ INI files which have none or only one (ODC) channels in the DAQ science framed. Chris Wipf is working on the ISC models and Jeff K is working on the SUSAUX models. The ones which I did not anticipate are the OMC and SUSIM models.

h1iscex front end lost communication with its IO Chassis at 16:14. The system was recovered by power cycling the computer and IO Chassis at 16:56.

TF's will be running on ITMX. TCS is in chamber right now, so we have a script set to run after their expected exit from the chamber. Hugo will check watchdogs remotely after TCS leaves, to make sure measurement goes through.

All 8 of the photodiodes in the photodetector array check out electrically.  This was done using the
diode tester function of a multimeter.

Initially a problem was thought to exist with 2 photodiodes - top row, right most two - but this was
traced to a problem with the cabling.  The cabling was measured with the TDR, which seemed to indicate
that the problem was either at the flange or on the in-vacuum side.  Thinking that the seating of the PEEK
2-way coax cables was not good enough, the in-vacuum cable was removed and reseated (thank you Mitchell).
The TDR yielded the same result.  A check of the 2 photodiodes with another set of cables indicated that the
photodiodes were good.  Looking at the in-air cable, which was removed and reseated, two of the connections
came good.  The entire cable assembly (S/N S1301015) was replaced (with S/N S1301016) and all connections
tested okay.

Re-doing the diode test measurement confirmed that the 2 diodes initially thought to be suspect were
okay with the replacement cable.

I had identified the problem (not aLOGged, appeared yesterday afternoon after the RCG upgrade) with the HAUX models early this morning to be a few, expected unconnected and cross-wired parts. This was because Dave had forgotten that I'd advertised the HAUX to be under-construction, and in his sweeping effort to recompile all models yesterday, accidentally compiled and installed this under-construction, known-to-be broken model. Honest mistake.

I patched up the under-construction model to get it working enough for basic operation early this morning, but then the temporarily-fixed model didn't compile because of RCG issues with bus selectors and creators. Rolf's currently hard at work on it, but in order to make progress with the installation of PSL ISS Outer Loop PD, we've just reverted to the known working svn copy of the model, which compiles just fine with Matlab 2012b, and RCG 2.8 (i.e. all the new stuff).

The svn copy of the model has been compiled, installed, restarted, and restored, and damps nicely as expected. The alignment offsets have been restored to whatever was in the safe.snap,
IM1 P   2330
    Y   -170
IM2 P   -1880
    Y   -300
IM3 P   2850
    Y   300
IM4 P   -2420
    Y   -980

Arnaud's gunna grab some trend data to compare against what alignment offsets were established earlier in the week, to see if they're different; he'll post a comment shortly.

Prior to the OMC glass bench installation, the OMC DCPD preamps (D060572 SN004/005) were tested in the H2PSL enclosure.
The results are almost identical to the ones seen in LLO. Now the preamps are attached to the OMC suspension.

- Transimpedance measurement

This preamp uses a resister as a transimpedance (i.e. current to voltage conversion).
The transimpedance can be switched by a 5V relay with the "ZSwicth" terminal.
The resister values were read by a multimeter at the diode (between Cathode pin and GND pin).

Preamp SN004
ZSwitch=L 100.8 Ohm
ZSwitch=H 400.9 Ohm

Preamp SN005
ZSwitch=L 100.2 Ohm
ZSwitch=H 400.0 Ohm

- Transfer function measurement

The voltage transfer function of the preamps are measured by applying the source voltage
to the lead pins inserted to the PD connector. The source amplitude of 20mV was nominally applied.
For the linearity check (as per request by Keita), the measurement with a half amplitude (10mV) was
also done. ZSwicth does not change the transfer function as it only swicthes the transimpedance resisters.

Page 1 of the attached PDF: linearity check
The TFs with the 20mV and 10mV amplitudes matches in 1% in amplitude and 1deg in phase.

Page 2: Consistency check
Comparison with the circuit model (with nominal circuit parameters) by Zach Korth. The measured value is
consistent with the circuit model. Of course, they don't match perfectly as the actual circuit parameters are different from nominal.

Page 3: Empirical ZPK fit
For the modeling purpose, the TF with the 20mV excitation was fitted using liso. The fitting was done with precision
of 1% in amplitude and 1deg in phase. The list of poles, zeros, and gain is in the page. 

Page 4: Current noise 
The input-referred current noise was measured with the two impedance settiings. The noise expectations from LISO
model (by Zack Korth) is also shown. As seen in LLO, we have some discrepancy from the LISO model at the low and
high freq edge. For the low impedance (=high beam power) mode, we can see the shot noise level of 35mA photocurrent
between 12-100kHz.

Attached is a trend of the IPSs for ETMx back 15 days showing the Actuator attachment followed by the IAS-is-good time for ETMx, and the HEPI locked period during the Dome install & work platform removal.  The HEPI is then unlocked and finally yesterday is seen when JimW went in to lock the ISI for TMS work.  Jim reports he had to hang a bit on ISI Stage0 (HEPI) and there is a good shift on the trends at that time.

So the HEPI aligned for IAS numbers are:

The calibration for these channels is 655cts/0.001" so more than a couple 1000 counts starts getting significant for aligned position particularly for Yaw.  In light of this, note on the trend where H1 sees a 2500ct shift following the ISI lock.  If this were seen on all four corners acting together, this move would approach 50urads.  As these are in local coordinates and all are negative, this is more like a de-stressing manifestation.  If corners 1 & 3 were negative and the other two corners were positive, we might be getting some real rotations.  As it is, taking the signs into account, the shift that appears large on these plots is just 7urads.  For the apparently large vertical shift, differentials would be tilts.  The largest being 500cts gives about 0.025mm at the pier or ~9urads.

Bottom line, alignment should still be good.

While setting the ETMx pitch offset for the TMS alignment, I mapped the ETMx pitch alignment offset using my alignment equipment.  Attached is a .txt file of the raw data points.  Bottom line is:

• The sign is correct: + offset pitches the ETMx down, - offset pitches the ETMx up
• The offset does not pitch the ETMx 1:1 when measuring the actual pitch with the laser autocollimator

I set the ETMx pitch alignment offset to -291 for the TMS alignment (as discussed in Betsy's alog below).  This puts the ETMx exactly where it needs to be for the TMS in-chamber alignment.  Please do not turn off the alignment offset as this will cause an error in the TMS alignment.  Thank you.

BSC-ITMX TF measurements performed overnight last night, and today, all crashed. Crashing point changed every time in a random manner.

The matlab error reports an issue in awgstream.m which lives in the matab folder.

We are now running a set of test TF, with the master switch off, on ITMX from matlab 2010a to see if the awgstream issues we are experiencing come from the recent Matlab update.

This measurement will take a couple hours and will not be perturbated by mechanical work (master switch is off).

This morning Travis, Jason and I made the ~last pitch alignment of the ETMx.  We also pulled the FC from the inside of the 2 East viewports and the ETMx CP-AR.  However, when we pulled the FC off of the CP-AR, the thin central portion of the sheet left segments of a ring around the center of the optic.  Par for the course.  And, of course, I could not get any good pictures of the feature so I'll attach a sketch shortly.  I'll get with COC to see what I should do - note, I cannot get the spray cone on to resheet the First COntact and start over, so either we'll need to live with these remnants, or I'll have to get crafty with a smaller cone.

But, back to the alignment - we aligned the ETMx to an offset pitch pointing such that when we pull the First Contact sheet from the HR surface, the optic bounces up to point the nominal pitch.  However, this does not help TMS with their alignment now.  After consult with IAS/TMS we decided to put the offset pitch onto the bias slider of the ETMx.  We have the range according to the uRad-calibrated bias slider, however Jason is going to go map it out and confirm the calibration of the slider with his optical equipment (still set up).  This should not take long, and he will leave the offset bias enabled for TMS to start their alignment asap.

We copied the safe.snaps for h1iscey and h1ecatx1plc2 from the Y end, did some replacements and restored them.  Chris also copied over the filter files from end X so we can attempt to lock the input alignment servos. 

I also installed WinSCP on h1ecatx1, it could not resolve host names but Cyrus is working on this.  We copied the autoBurt.req files from C:/SlowControls/Target/PLC1 PLC2 PLC3 into the target directory, so from now on we should have autoBurts for the X end beckhoff. 

We also cleaned up the h1ecaty1 directory.

B&K hammer measurement on the ITMX suspension cage was completed yesterday while the ISI was floating. The corner cube left from alignment was removed before starting the measurement, and replaced by the protecting plate after. The corner cube as well as the screws are now on the floor in the chamber (cf 2nd picture attached). The protecting plate of the reaction chain test mass was removed and replaced after the measurement.

The tri-axis accelerometer used has been mounted on the side of the structure, with the axis oriented as described in the picture attached. As the previous measurement of ITMX, two locations were chosen for the hammer hit, one on the front (labelled as the Y axis of the accelerometer, corresponding to the sus axis "longitudinal"), and the other one on the side of the optic (labelled as the X axis, or "transverse" for sus axis)

The measurement was taken with the usual Pulse software, using the templates from the last ITMX measurement (cf alog 7762).

Results in the pdf attached are described page by page below :

(1) X-Y-Z response to X excitation, suspension unlocked, isi unlocked, in chamber, vibration absorbers on

(2) X-Y-Z response to Y excitation, suspension unlocked, isi unlocked, in chamber, vibration absorbers on

(3) X Resp to X excitation : comparison between b&k ISI locked (LLO ITMY (red) + LHO ITMX test stand (green)) and ISI unlocked (LHO ITMX in chamber (blue))

(4) Y Resp to Y excitation : comparison between b&k ISI locked (LLO ITMY (red) + LHO ITMX test stand (green)) and ISI unlocked (LHO ITMX in chamber (blue))

Note : even though it hasn't been exported, the coherence looks really good in the pulse raw data.

The results from yesterday afternoon are showing a lot of high q resonnances and noisy data in Y direction, which is not the response we would expect to see, cf (2). Also we can see the overall magnitude of the measurements with the ISI unlocked is below the ones with the ISI locked by an order of magnitude cf (3) and (4). The exported data was compared to the pulse data, to make sure it's not a calibration factor issue in the process.
It seems unlikely that those differences are due to the state of the ISI, but since we don't have other data comparing b&k ISI locked/unlocked (or at least I didn't find any), it is hard to tell. Tomorrow, we will double check the status of the ITMX suspension cage, to check if we didn't forget to remove something that won't stay permanently, that might have caused the peaky resonnances. Also, it will be interesting to reproduce the test when we will have a chance at ETMX (seems like next week, when all the work will be done on the suspensions after discussing with Keita), see if we get the same drop in amplitude.

(Koji, Jeff B., Jeff L.)

The first contact protecting the optics was removed.  Koji put the eLIGO DCPD diodes into the aLIGO OMC and tested them in-situ.  New QPDs are being used.

The OMC was installed into the suspension and some of the cables were attached to the OMC.  Some other cables are finishing C&B and will hopefully be ready Wednesday.  The OMC will be balanced (masses added) once all the cables are attached.
