Matt H.  requested that we verify the ISS PDs were still connected in vacuum.  I was able to get to the all 16 cables and tested each pair. They all tested fine with a reading of approximately .384VDC Anode to Cathode and OPEN Cathode to Anode on my Fluke 87V set to diode test. The last set I tested seemed to be reversed so I left them disconnected until I can have better access to the chassis under the chamber behind the HEPI support Structure.

I have reconfigued the Vacuum Alarms To Cell Phones to not alarm on the missing MX Y1 beam tube cold cathode (343B) and replace it with the cold cathode on the other side of the gatevalve (344B). This is a temporary change until 343B gauge is repaired.

With Stefan's kind permission, we added the first version of the PCAL front end model to h1odcx as a CAL top-names part. We have not restarted the DAQ, so the data from this model will be corrupted until we do so.

Channels in this new system have names which start with H1:CAL-PCALX_

Look pretty good, Jeff looked pretty close.  Maybe I'll get a chance to plot a Dof by Dof for better compare which we did on screen.

Meanwhile see the attached for a Global Basis comparison with data from back in November.  Current data is bottom set (see title); two bands zoomed in 1) main resonances 2) upper frequencies where the ISI cable bracket might show itself.

ITMx has been unlocked for SEI TFs.  ITMy has been locked for ACB install.

Travis and I went into the 3 vertex BSC's this morning, and locked ITMY (for ACB install) and unlocked ITMX. While I was there, I looked around at BSC2 for possible rubbing, and checked ITMY for loose masses but found nothing. Will try running tf's at BSC3 today, but the activities out there might make it a futile attempt.

A set of TFs were previously taken for the SR3 (HLTS) suspension (see LHO aLOG entries 12929 and 12945), to complete Phase 3a power spectra have been taken with damping loops both ON and OFF for all stages. These H1 SR3 power spectra have also been directly compared with equivalent H1 PR3 measurements (allhltss_2014-07-24_Phase3a_H1HLTSs_ALL_Spectra_D*.pdf). The plot key is as follows:-

Black Dashed Line = Expected Sensor Noise
Blue Solid Line = H1SUSPR3 2013−10−07_0800
Green Solid Line = H1SUSSR3 2014−07−24_1030

Summary:

Noise floors for SR3 are consistent with expectations. However, it should be noted that virtually all M1 stage OSEM channels exhibit narrow frequency comb features above ~20 Hz, which are only present in the damped power spectra and could therefore be be re-injected noise from the electronics chain and will need to be further investigated.

All data, scripts and plots have been committed to the sus svn as of this entry.

A clean set of TFs were previously taken for both SR2 & SRM (HSTS) suspensions (see LHO aLOG entry 12950), to complete Phase 3a power spectra have been taken with damping loops both ON and OFF for all stages. These power spectra measurements have also been directly compared (allhstss_2014-07_24_Phase3a_H1HSTSs_ALL_Spectra_D*.pdf). The plot key is as follows:-

Black Dashed Line = Expected Sensor Noise
Blue Solid Line = H1SUSSR2 2014−07−24_0900
Green Solid Line = H1SUSSRM 2014−07−24_1000

Summary:

Noise floors for both SR2 & SRM are consistent with expectations. However, it should be noted that SRM M1 T3 LF and RT channels exhibit a comb of narrow frequency features above ~20 Hz, which since observed in both damped and undamped power spectra could be induced by ground loops.

All data, scripts and plots have been committed to the sus svn as of this entry.

After securing doors on HAM3 (see LHO aLOG entry 12975), TFs have been taken overnight as part of Phase 3a testing to check for rubbing or other issues that may have developed as follows:-  

- PR2 M1-M1 undamped (2014-07-24_1090302332_H1SUSPR2_M1_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) 
- MC2 M1-M1 undamped (2014-07-24_1090284714_H1SUSMC2_M1_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf)

HAM3 ISI Status: ISI unlocked, no damping or isolation loops running.

PR2 & MC2 alignment: No offset was applied during this measurement.

The undamped measurements from above have been compared with other H1 HSTS suspensions at Phase 3a of testing as well as the model (allhstss_2014-07-25_Phase3a_H1HSTSs_M1_Doff_ALL_ZOOMED_TFs.pdf).

Summary: 

Both PR2 & MC2 M1-M1 TFs show good agreement with the model and perform consistently with other HSTS suspensions, thus raising no concerns.

All data, scripts and plots have been committed to the sus svn as of this entry.

The licenses for Matlab are now being served by a local CDS license server, which should reduce the vulnerability of network interruptions to Caltech in obtaining Matlab licenses.  This applies to new matlab sessions started from newly opened shells, existing open Matlab sessions should be unaffected.  Also this only applies to Ubuntu workstations at this time.

The only change you may see is warning messages on startup referencing non-existing directories in the matlab toolbox path.  We have licenses for more packages than are installed, which causes the warnings.  This will not affect your ability to use Matlab.  

Undamped transfer functions will start on opsws1 and opsws10 when HAM2 ISI measurements will be done

Matlab TFs are set to run on HAM3 suspensions overnight as follows:-  

- MC2 (HSTS) M1-M1 undamped TFs, Starting at ~6:00pm July 24th (local)
- PR2 (HSTS) M1-M1 undamped TFs, Starting at ~11:00pm July 24th (local)

When complete at ~3:00am July 25th (local), the measurement status will revert to OFF and damping loops will be restored to the ON state.

These measurements have been initiated from the opsws2 workstation.

After getting the okay from SEI, I unlocked the 4 HXTS's on HAM2. TF's were run on All 8 suspensions (4x HXTS, 4x HAM AUX) on the table and all were given the all clear. So SEI TFs should be good to start..once we damp the suspensions of course :-)

We took particle counts. Cant remember exact number but Stuart has the numbers and i believe will post

Jeff B, Andreas, Jeff K, Stuart A, Jeremy B, Matt H, Apollo).

Both doors on HAM3. Jeff B started by inserting optic Started on PR2 side as that is the "least" important of the two optics in tha chamber. There was a drop of FC under the optic (not from a run down the optic, obviously fell off during painting) so that was cleaned up easily. Once particle counts deemed good to go, first contact was peeled (there was a little bit of the outer crust left behind from say 2-3 o'clock position and 4-5 o'clock position.....I decided not to attack it with a swab and just leave it...Calu you need to practice your first contact outer layer painting skills :-) :-D). Its only a bit and well out of the beam path. Optic was unlocked and TF's taken. Once given the all clear door went on. Stuart has a log of particle countsduring process, timeline and also how many particles I deemed I saw on optic throughout the process.

Once HAM3 east door on, we checked particle counts on west side. These were low and so went to peel FC here. Found that top gun nitrogen tank low, so swapped out before blowing to peel FC. Once swapped, peeled FC, again unlocked suspension and then did TF's. Once these past door went back on. They had some troubles getting a good angle to put door on so took a little longer than wanted. Again Stuart has log of timeline, particle counts, particulates on optic, etc.

I talked to Travis about mobility wafer and if he wanted it replaced (by replace I mean swap out the the wafer already in it....it was put back in its original position before the ISI guys balanced the table by Travis and I) before we closed up. He suggested to leave it as looking for a delta if anything moves from time of closing/pumping down...so I left it as is.

Damn...I know one thing I forgot.....to peel the FC on the small optic...how did I forget that #facepalm.......hmm  I wonder if I took off a viewport I can reach in and get it. Its on the outer leg of the MC2 suspension. Will talk to Calum about.  Who has the longest reach at LHO ? We may just be able to get it from the viewport.....To all and sundry....dont let me forget for HAM2............

Not too bad to rebalance but only because everything needed was in the LVEA.  One of the four 10Kg Optical Table Masses(D0901075) had to be removed as there was so little wall mass on the West side of the ISI walls.  The bottom mass of the two stacker was removed and the upper damped mass was moved to the table top onto the damping viton.  So all three masses remaining on the table top are unbolted and resting on viton damping pads.

The total mass reduction of the Balance Mass Payload is 3.5kg.  Will update the drawing for this as-built.
