[Dave Arnaud]
Following Stuart's update of medm screens at LLO, the previous aLogs, and the recent update of medm macro character limit (from 256 to 2048), Dave and I edited the changes on the SITEMAP for all suspensions* at LHO.

• the /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/common/medm repertory has been svn updated in order to get the text files where the new arguments are defined, eg susetmy_overview_macro.txt
• SITEMAP.adl in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/cds/h1/medm arguments has been edited
  • the Arguments column now calls the newly created argument text file the following way :
    %(read $(USERAPPS)/sus/common/medm/susetmy_overview_macro.txt),USERAPPS=$(USERAPPS),SITE=LHO,site=lho,IFO=H1,ifo=h1
  • the Display File column calls the overview screen the following way :
    $(USERAPPS)/sus/common/medm/quad/SUS_CUST_QUAD_OVERVIEW.adl

*except for ITMX/ETMX/TMSX/BSTST and HAUX

• An additional susquadtst_macro.txt in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/common/medm has been created, and updated to the svn

I started the rework of the IOT2L layout today.  Changes were made after LLO had some experience with their table.  With the new layout, I found that our REFL PD and the new position for the WFS1 pico motor were incompatible, so I move the WFS1 pico motor toward it's pick-off be 3", and moved WFS1 by 3" to achieve the same path length as on the new layout of 290mm.  Pictures of REFL PD, WFS1 and WFS2 attached.  Also attached is a list of components and their status for the REFL path - i.e. which components are currently not on the table.

• Apollo crew busy at EX
• Greg working on HEPI at EY
• IOT2L Rolled into place & Cheryl worked on it
• The pumping down of the Vertex continues slowly (at 2Torr now)
• Misc work out in LVEA
• Arnaud running excitations on the H1 BS this afternoon (~315-415pm)
• RO Critical/MAJOR alarm this afternoon (Ski investigating)
• Few Dust Alarms throughout the day at the End Stations and LAB areas, but they were all of the short-lived variety

The damping loops for HAM2 and HAM3 ISIs were turned ON, uppon SUS's request.

Both the corner and EY Beckhoff systems were updated to the most recent versions. Apart from some cleanup a number of channel names changed to bring the slow controls system in line with the real-time system:

• ASC-C_REFLAIR_ is now ASC-REFL_ (no C, no AIR) , same for AS and POP.
• LSC-C-REFL is now LSC-REFL (no C), etc.
• Extra demod channels for ASC have been (re)named L1:ASC-REFL_C and L1:ASC-AS_D (ASC-AS_C is a quad).
• ASC-X-TR_A is now ASC-TRX_A, etc.
• ALS-C_FIBER is now ALS-C_FIBR (same as end).
• DC PD names have been split, ie., IRDC is now IR_DC, REJECTEDDC is now REJECTED_DC, etc.
• ALS-C_TRANS_XDC is now ALS-C_TRX_A_DC (same as ASC).
• The corner picomotor channels have been moved form PLC2 to PLC1. They are now part of H1:SYS-MOTION rather than H1:ISC-MOTION. This has already been part of the end station code.
• A separate POU "Initialization" has been created for initialization code.
• The save-restore is now a single global instance.

This will require some changes with medm screens. This version now has a complete set of hardware links with the excpetion of the rotation stages.

The EPICS gateways for the corner PLC1 channels are currently not running due to the lareg numbers of channels.

 The IOT2L enclosure was rolled close to HAM2. So now IOT2L is at the official permanent place again.

The two light pipes between HAM2 and IOT2L are back on.

Currently the west area of HAM1 and 2,  where IOT2L and ISCT1 reside, are isolated by the black curtain-ish laser barriers.

The LSC, ASC and ALS pull down tabs were moved from the right side to the left as they don't necessarily belong to a particular location (i.e. LVEA and EY). The attached is the curent view of SITEMAP.adl.

- Apollo "crew" torqued some doors and viewports, and cleared/checked other items, see entry by Jodi.
- Betsy did a walk around input chambers/LVEA area this morning, final check before pump down.
- Michael and Joe, Viewport final check, LVEA, before pump down.
- Travis to work around HAM2 and HAM3, camera work.
- Kyle started pump down of YBM+BSC01+BSC02+BSC03+Inputtube-HAM01, see his entry.
- Keita, et.al., moved/set IOT2L in place.
- Cheryl to LVEA to work in IOT2L.
- King soft water to visit LSB RO system, charcoal work.

Dew point of "blow down air" < -25C

There were a couple of items from the list to clear up this morning: torquing of bolts at HAM3 and check to see that all ports have some pump-down worthy covering. In addition, Kyle had a couple of items for the Apollo crew to attend to. I added those items to the bottom of the list. 

1.	Done-Remove Walking Plates from BSC 2 (Place in E-Mod Staging Cleanroom)
2.	Done-Replace dome on BSC2 (Check with SEI first: unlock ISI check cables)
3.	Done-Place hard cover on BSC2/HAM3 spool openings
4.	Done-Install curtains on HAM3 cleanroom
5.	Done-Move BSC cleanroom to beamtube by East Bay pipe bridge
6.	Done-Dis-assemble Work Platform (Place on floor by ?????)
7.	Done-Move HAM3 cleanroom north as far as possible
8.	Done-Close gaps in cleanroom to contain BSC2 spool area
9.	Done-Move SEI related electronics over center of spool area
10.	Done-Insert small spool piece
11.	Done-Insert large spool piece
12.	Done-Install HAM3 east door
13.	Done-Move cleanroom from pipe bridge area to HAM4-plug in-turn on
14.	Done-Call for HAM4 cleaning
15.	Done-Install HAM2/1 east doors
16.	Done-Install HAM 2/3 west doors
17.	Done-Install BSC1 viewports
18.	Done-Remove HAM4 north door
19.	Done-Install blank on septum plate between BSC2 and HAM4
20.	Done-Install HAM4 north door
21.	Done-Torque all bolts (except HAM1 and HAM4-4 bolts only)
22.	Done-Check for holes
23.     Done-Remove the "hinged" HAM4 bellows retraction tie-rods per Kyle
24.     Done-Remove, inspect and re-flange (using LIGO hardware) the 10" CFF blank that is in the 2 o-clock position on the MC tube-HAM3 adapter and which is labeled as "not leak tested" per Kyle
25.     Done-Return HAM4 bellows tie-rods per John     ;-)

As far as I know, all Apollo tasks are complete in preparation for HIFO pump-down.

Configured HPI pump controller at EY for eventual connection to network.  It now appears as "h1hpipumpctrley" instead of "localhost", and it's IP address is set up for connection to the 10.105 VLAN.  The EPICS channel names still need to be changed in a similar fashion to the corner station controller.  This does allow a slightly modified laptop to be connected to it to view the MEDM screen at the controller, so the resource-hungry desktop manager doesn't have to be run on the controller.

Vincent and I left the controller running, with the system pressurized.

BSC2, IY adapter, HAM1, HAM2 and HAM3 have all viewports necessary for the full IFO.

BSC1 is good for HIFO but one viewport for CO2 laser should be installed in the future.

For video and illuminator viewports, no inspection was made except to confirm that something was installed.

For viewports that receive 1064nm and/or 532nm beam, we made a visual inspection to see the color of the surface, and all seemed to have some AR. No attempt was made to tell 1064/532 combo AR from so-called "high quality" optic (iLIGO 1064nm viewports?).

Thomas looked at oplev viewports and confirmed that they are the correct ones.

Following is a list of what is installed and what is not. Viewport numbers are based on https://dcc.ligo.org/T1000746.

BSC1 (IY): Illumination (G3), IY alternative video (G2), IY CP video (G11).

CO2 laser viewport (C0G5) is going to have to be installed in the future, but not this time.

BSC2 (BS): Oplev IN/OUT (G2), Video BS (G8), Illuminator (G9)

IY adapter A-1: Oplev IY OUT (VP1), IY Video (VP2), Oplev IY IN (VP4).

FTIMY-related viewports (VP3, 5B, 6) are not installed as we don't have H2.

HAM1: Video (A2F1) and Illuminator (A2F4) on the east door. IR PSL (A1F5), ALS green (A1F4) and POP/REFL (A1F3) on the west door.

HAM2: Faraday input video (A2F1), General video(A2F2), "IO trans mon & PRC MM mon beam" (A2F3), "IO trans mon & PRC MM mon beam" (A2F4), PRM video (A2F5) on the east door.

General video (A1F2), Illuminator (A1F1), MC1 Video (A1F3), MC REFL (A1F4), SM1 TRANS (A1F5) on the west door.

MC3 video (D7), Faraday output, SM1 and SM2 video (C1) and REFL parking (D8) on top.

It doesn't make sense that both A2F4 (left on the east door) and A2F3 (middle) are specified to use 1064/532nm combo viewport for the same purpose. There are two beams coming through SM2 (IM4) but both of them come out of A2F3.

A2F4 is valuable as a video viewport, so we can proceed with this configuration, but somebody needs to confirm my suspicion that VP800 is good enough for A2F3,  and then T1000746 should be updated.

HAM3: PR2 video (A2F3) on the east door. Illuminator (A1F3), MC2 Trans (A1F4) and MC2 Video (A1F5) on the west door.

WAMCA1 attachment by HAM2: PR2 Video (VP3), Oplev HAM3 in/out (VP7, not VP5 as specified by T1000746), Video MC2 (VP9).

WAMCB1 attachment by HAM3: MC3 video (VP3), Oplev HAM2 IN/OUT (VP5), Oplev PR3 IN (VP7), PRM Video (VP9), MC1 Video (VP10), Oplev PR3 out (VP11), PR3 Video (VP12).

its being really slow

• Doors put on HAMs 1-4
• Viewports installed on BSC1
• Craig and Pablo in H2 room working on Pcal
• Thomas taking measurements at EY remotely for optical levers
• Dave removed the DC component of the PRM watchdog
• Hugh working on HEPI plumbing between HAM4-5

Replaced EPICS software for Mac OS X and Ubuntu computers running control room software.  This new version specifically allows MEDM screens to use macro substitutions specified in a file.  The new limit is 2048 total characters of macro substitution.

Beamsplitter transfer functions have been running over the weekend in order to fix any issues during the day if needed.

The attached pdfs show :

1. Comparison between last TF damping on and model
2. Comparison between last TF damping off and model
3. Comparison between LHO damping on/off and LLO phase 3a (feb 2013) TFs
4. Zoomed version of 3.

Vertical degree of freedom is noisier than expected between 1.5 and 3Hz (3rd page of each pdf).
