HAM IO last check before closing down

Jim unlocked HAM2 and HAM3 ISIs. HAM3 door covers are restricted by bow attachments on the door so they don't couch HAM3 ISI. Door covers for HAM2 were half opened to prevent them from touching HAM2 ISI.

After Sheila reset all WDs, IMC started flashing with 00 mode. The alignment was actually pretty good.

PRM was put in an aligned position, and the beam made it through the baffle towards HAM1 though the horizontal motion of the beam was large enough that the beam clipped once in a while, but once things are under vacuum this should settle down.

All in all we're in a very good shape.

I'm attaching CPS trends for both chambers, capturing before and after unlocking (unlocking is marked by the noisy areas in the middle of each plot). Most shifts are ~200 counts or less (.25 milli-inches), but the biggest is about 600 counts (.75 milli-inches). Pretty good.

dust monitor code changes
Dave B., Patrick T.

This work falls under permit number 3833.

This afternoon we installed new EPICS IOC code for the dust monitors in /ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/epics-3.14.12.2_long_sc. The module code is met_one_227b-1.0.0 and the IOC code is dust_met_one_227b-1.0.1. The targets are in /ligo/lho/h0/target. The IOCs are running on h0epics2.

The code changes the channel names as follows:

H0:PEM-LVEA_DST$(ID)_3             ->  H0:PEM-CS_DUST_LVEA$(ID)_300NM_PCF
H0:PEM-LVEA_DST$(ID)_5             ->  H0:PEM-CS_DUST_LVEA$(ID)_500NM_PCF

H0:PEM-LVEA_DST$(ID)_TEMP          ->  H0:PEM-CS_TEMP_LVEA$(ID)_DUSTMON_DEGF
H0:PEM-LVEA_DUST_LOC_$(ID)_STATUS  ->  H0:PEM-CS_DUST_LVEA$(ID)_STATUS

H0:PEM-EY_DST$(ID)_3               ->  H0:PEM-EY_DUST_VEA$(ID)_300NM_PCF
H0:PEM-EY_DST$(ID)_5               ->  H0:PEM-EY_DUST_VEA$(ID)_500NM_PCF

H0:PEM-EY_DUST_LOC_$(ID)_STATUS    ->  H0:PEM-EY_DUST_VEA$(ID)_STATUS

Dave renamed the minute trend files to reflect these changes (directory name mapping is in the attached text file).
The medm screens, autoBurt.req files and the alarm handler configuration file were also updated to match these changes.

I also removed the transient period for showing alarms in the alarm handler configuration file, updated the guidance and added some dust monitor locations.

The new IOC code also fixes a division error when the sampling time is zero in the particles per cubic foot calc records.

TO DO: I still need to update the alarm limits and severities.

I changed the database records to add default alarm values and severities. I also added [RO] to the beginning of the description fields. This can be used to indicate which channels should be read only when generating the autoBurt.req file. These changes were committed in the dust_met_one_227b-1.0.2 tagged release. The IOC target directories were changed to use this release and restarted. I set the dust count alarm levels by hand. This should complete the work permit.

X End status
There was some discussion WRT options and timing for moving the BSC ISI from the staging building to X End. Mark Layne will pursue getting a flat bed on-site by Monday, 29 April, for ISI transport. 

The fit check of the Test Stand cleanroom was completed and the cleanroom moved from over the beamtube. The test stand cleanroom was partially (3/4) re-assembled. The IAS table was dis-assembled and relocated to the gate valve area. All remaining items needed from Y End were moved to X End. Half of the work platforms were assembled around BSC9.

BS elliptical baffle dog clamps installed

The ITMy elliptical baffle has had its 2 dog clamps installed.  The ITMx baffle has only had one of its 2 dog clamps installed due to the presence of SUS dog clamps.  Per the direction of the install lead, we will leave these dog clamps as is until the hole pattern issue is resolved and the dog clamps can be correctly installed.

After Cheryl finished I mostly completed the job:

* All models got a make-install. 
* All models were restarted.
* All models got a diag reset.
* All models were BURT restored to the state at 14:00 hours.
* Damping was reenabled on etmy, itmy, mc1, mc3, pr2, pr3, prm
* Damping was NOT reenabled on bs or tmsy because the USER DACKILL screens don't come up.
* The PRM has such a large offset that it trips the IOP watchdog after a few minutes. I presume the IO team has been running it with the bypass enabled.
* The backup for MC1 was corrupt and I had to manually edit out some lines with incomplete strings, e.g., "LOCK . Dave says this looks like a bug he thought had been fixed and is investigating.
mark.barton@LIGO.ORG - 09:00, Wednesday 24 April 2013 (6181)
The problem with the DACKILL screens turned out to be because they had been set to open on the right physical screen and this had gone to sleep on opsws1 yesterday. I opened 

/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/common/tmts/SUS_CUST_TMTS_DACKILL.adl

and 

/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/common/tmts/SUS_CUST_BSFM_DACKILL.adl

in MEDM, dragged them to the left screen, made a trivial change and reverted it to "dirty" the window, and saved and committed them.

IO is done in HAM2 and HAM3:
- Sheila, Keita, Cheryl

- PRM bias relief was successful:

- PRM alignment is good, with one issue with the IOP watchdog when parked:

New aligned biases that send REFL to HAM1 are:
P = -830
Y = -50

New parked biases that send REFL to it's parking spot through the baffle on the viewport on the top of HAM2 are:
P = -330
Y = -6100

The parked position of PRM will trip the IOP DC watchdog, and HIFO will run with the PRM parked most of the time, so this needs a solution.  The PRM is damped when it's parked, so one solution might be to give it it's own IOP watchdog.

- AOE2 which is in front of IM4, and is currently just a baffle, was moved by 1-2mm in the -X direction on HAM2.  This was necessary to allow the parked REFL beam to pass through the baffle with enough clearance to withstand small beam position changes and not clip.  The forward beam is off centered on that baffle aperture in order to accommodate the parked REFL beam, and has plenty of clearance to withstand small beam position changes.

- Pictures of iris alignment clamps left attached to the HAM tables were taken.   These alignment clamps are in front of MC1, MC2, and MC3, and PR2, and on MC3 Trans, and PRM Trans.

The h1sush2b front end encountered a timing error this morning at 08:48 local time. The IRIG-B timing diag went into the 1800 range immediately. There was no error at the IO Chassis end, a restart of the IOP model cleared the error. After restarting the user model h1susim I BURT restored it to 4am as per Cheryl's request.

ABCD matrices for IO
The attached script is a quick calculation of the ABCD matrices from the MC waist and IM1, IM2, IM3, IM4 to PRM that Keita asked for yesterday. It is based on optics coordinates found in T080078-05  (written in 2008)  It doesn't take into account the angle of incidence on the curved mirrors.  
If someone from IO has done a more careful job or used more up to date coordinates, it might be useful to send a link.

EY work on Friday: Beam diverter polarity check

I had to go home in the afternoon, so we couldn't do any alignment work, which should be done on Monday. EY is in laser hazard.

We did check the beam diverter. (This one should be replaced anyway, but not before moving the entire EY to H1 position. https://services.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/integrationissues/show_bug.cgi?id=83)

Beam diverter is connected to F2-2C2 feedthrough on BSC6. From outside, pin1-14 is the coil, pin2-15 is one of the reed switches (SW1), and pin3-16 is the other (SW2).

When pin1 is positive and pin14 negative, the beam diverter moves from "open" position where the mirror is tipped toward EY to "closed" position where it is tipped away from EY.

However, we've found that pin1 is short-circuited to the chamber and the building ground. This means that you need a floating supply to drive it (which is not a problem for a proper driver but is a problem when you're using a power supply with one of the pins grounded). If for example the negative is grounded and if you try to "close" it by supplying positive to pin 1, all current goes to the ground via short circuit, not the coil.

Anyway, the problem is somewhere in the chamber. This should be checked when EY is moved to the H1 position, most likely an offending cable should be replaced.

One of the reed switches is still stuck, despite a previous report that it was somehow magically unstuck: https://services.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/integrationissues/show_bug.cgi?id=2

When in "open" position both of the switches are closed. When "closed" one of the switch opens.

After building five Beam Diverters, I noticed issues with the Reed Switches.  I was able to get them to work after orienting the Sensor Magnet in a position which was related to polarity (Chris Guido at LLO noted that the position of this little magnet determined Switch functionality).  So, it will be good to check this Beam Diverter out when we pull it out.

Dan tested beam diverter and everything worked including the motor and the two reed switches.

That's strange as one of the two reed switches was stuck before, but somehow it's unstuck. Anyway it's good.

I'm curious to get my hands on this Beam Diverter, after my experience with building five of them.  For me, the Sensor Magnet's polarity seem to affect the functionality for the Reed Switches (Chirs Guido mentioned the position of this magnet was more the issue for him).
