Patrick, Daniel, Cyrus, Alexa, Dave, Sheila

Around 3:30 this afternoon Alexa tried to test the whitening filter controls at end x.  The PLC was not running, and was asking the user to choose a run time system.  In the meantime I tried to remote login from the control room, which only worked using the IP adress, not using the server name.   After looking into this Cryus changed the network type to work (before it was public, and the windows firewall settings would not allow dave to ping the machine). 

The computer had a blue screen and rebooted. It did not start the twinCAT stuff on automatically as it should.  I tried going through the instal scripts.  There was no communication between ISC common and the End 2 beckhoff chassis.  Cryus gave Alexa and I a replacement cable.  After swapping the cable some of the modules were in the OP stae, some were PREOP with an INIT error. 

Patrick put the system manager into config mode and back to run mode all the modules are in the OP state.  We logged in and ran the PLCs, and restarted the epics database a few times.  There seems to be no communication with EPICs, the power shell says:

target machine not found, Cause: Missing ADS routes

ODC MASTER, X, Y Models Installed
Stefan has installed ODC MASTER (running on h1oaf0), ODC X (running on h1iscex) and ODC Y (running on h1iscey) for H1.  The MASTER will be used to summarize the ODC information from the corner station ODC channels.  The X will be used for the X end, and the Y for the Y end.  

Stefan has also generated MEDM screens that are available under the sitemap by following: ASC > ODC site overview.  The output channels are displayed at this level, and further details may be seen by digging into the yellow buttons labeled MASTER,Y or X.  

We are filling out the bit labels and setting up the bitmasks needed to compute the summary information, once IPC connections are added.  For now, we also have EPICs parts in place to simulate the signals that would be sent from the subsystem ODCs.

We added the h1odcx and h1odcy models to the end station ISC front ends (h1iscex and h1iscey). These were added to rtsystab and the DAQ master file. The DAQ was restarted, which also took the new h1susetmx ini files following Jeff's new h1susetmx mode install.

BS Sign check

After swapping the magnets on the beamsplitter, cf 8121, I tested the middle mass (M2) of the suspension by sending offsets to each osem, expecting to see the suspension being pushed with a positive offset, and vice versa.

Results are attached below with (1) the generic drive signal sent consecutively to each osem, and (2) the response (in um) of each osem to the drive. 

Not sure if it make sense that the lower right osem has a smaller amplitude than the others, but other than this the suspension is moving as expected.

ref cav and ALS fiber alignment

After Karen and I cleaned inside the PSL this morning I had a look at the ref cav alignment.  When I started the tpd had 0.5 V, after adjusting mostly pitch it is at 1.18V.  Since this is back to just above what it was 4 weeks ago, I set the resonant threshold back to 0.9V. 

There is currently 8.9mW headed towards the fiber.  I used a fiber feedthrough to conect the two ends of the fiber that go to the ALS fiber distributuion box, and sent the light back into the PSL. Initaly there was 1.9mW coming out of the fiber, I would have expected more of a power increase from friday http:// https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=8193 because of the increase in the ref cav transmission.

I adjusted the alignment of the ALS fiber path and moved the ROC=100mm lens forward by about 1 cm to get 6.2mW out of the fiber, 70 % coupling efficiency. 

The fiber launch PD reading has increased to 0.73 mW, from 0.19 mW, so we should get about 3.8 times more power at the end station than what we measured friday, almost 100 uW.

SUS ECRs E1300578 and E1300261 Front-end Model and MEDM Screen Mods have begun
J. Kissel

I've begun modifying all layers of SUS front-end simulink models, in order to implement the approved changes described in ECRs E1300578 and E1300261. These changes include

- Moving the DRIVEALIGN matrix out of the DAMP/TEST/OPTICALIGN paths, such that it only operates on the LOCK path for each stage (and therefore reducing the size of the M0 / M1 version)
- Adding output switches after the internal SUS offloading, so -- in the "offloaded" hierarchy scheme -- one can send alignment signals straight to the top without zeroing out diagonal DRIVEALIGN matrix elements
- Removing the wasteful, unnecessary DRIVEALIGN path
- Making both DAMP and LOCK filter banks use cdsCtrlFilt, such that they produce a status bit word for ODC consumption during lock acquisition
- Defining the list of channels that shall stay in the science frames, to be stored for all time
- Removing obsolete L1 and L2 (lower stage) damping from the QUADs which had been needed for very early H2OAT operation before ISIs were turned on
- Removing the explicit definition of 2048 from the stored ODC DAQ channel, such that it is by default sored at the model's native rate as designed
- Adding a length-driven, (optical lever/OSEM) angle response lock-in for force-to-angle decoupling and tuning.


I've gotten through almost all the QUAD modifications (what I always start with first, because it's the most complicated, but the basis for every other suspension). However, I've hit a compile error which I don't understand, so I need Rolf's help in the morning.

For now the following models are changed, but uncommitted:

ODC master running
The new ODC master model is now running of h1oaf0. Its inputs are still epics inputs - as soon as the modified SUS and SEI models are running, we will add the IPC receivers. Also, the model currently only has 8 inputs. This will need to be scaled up for receiving all data.

There are also preliminary ODC master medm screens available from the ODC site overview.

ETMX R0

Since phase 3a ETMX reaction chain transfer functions from thursday night didn't look good, Travis and Betsy went back in chamber on friday and moved back one of the top mass earthquake stop (one blocking the vertical direction). New series of transfer functions have been ran over the week end and are plotted in the attachments.

They now show a good match with the model and LLO measurements and moving the EQ stop definitely improved the results. Although, transverse still doesn't have any coherence with the drive, see second page of 2013-10-18[...].pdf attached

I checked the voltage at the output of the coil driver during the drive of transverse and the signal is clearly there, see image attached.

The attached results are described below :

(1) 2013-10-18[...] = Plot comparing R0 undamped TF phase 3a and the model

(2) allquads_[...] = Comparison between LHO R0 undamped TF phase 3a on friday night (2013-10-18), LHO R0 undamped TF phase 3a on thursday night (2013-10-18)

(3) Image = Screenshot of the drive signal of side osem at gps = 1066192865 (during transverse excitation) at (in red) the excitation test point, and (in blue) the coil driver output. Signals are coherent, meaning the chain between the dac and the coil driver is not broken
