reverted h1sustmsy, restarted DAQ

After our success in controlling the EY HWWD with the h1susetmy model, I reverted the h1sustmsy back to its original model and rebuilt it against RCG2.8.3. This required a DAQ restart due to INI changes.

ITMx Alignment
IAS: J. Oberling
SEI: H. Radkins, J. Warner, G. Grabeel
 
After today's HEPI adjustments the ITMx is now aligned in position and yaw.  The errors are as follows (no change on longitudinal position):

Once HEPI actuators are re-attached, I will take another look at position/yaw to make sure alignment is maintained within spec.  After that IAS only needs to align the ITMx in pitch and the CPx in pitch/yaw.

Set H1 PSL to 200mW at bottom of periscope

Olli, Justin and Volker

Task:  Set power at bottom of the PSL periscope to 200mW and rotate the polarization by 90 deg to resonate in the low finesse mode of the IMC.

The HWP for the main power control was "unlocked/untagged" and energized outside of the PSL enclosure.

First we measured the power after the TFP after the PMC. Initial value 20.5W.

Next we turned to the main power contro stage.  While temporarily turning the power after the TFP down to 200mW we assured that the main power stage HWP is set to a value that dumps most of the power. After that we maximized the power after the TFP after the PMC to 23.1W (HWP turned to 208deg).

Now the power at the bottom of the periscope was set to 205mW by rotating the main power control HWP to 63deg.

Currently there is a HWP at the pottom of the periscope to control the polarization after the power control stage.  Using this HWP the polarization was rotated to "p" to operate the IMC in low finesse mode. The angle of this HWP is now set to 46 deg.

We verified that the polarization is rotated by 90 degree using an additional PBS.

Finally, the HWP for the main power control was "locked/tagged" and deenergized outside of the PSL enclosure.

SUS ETMY HWWD work

Jim and Dave. We are now running a HWWD version of h1susetmy compiled against branch2.8. The model was restarted at 11:16PDT. If we determine there is an error with channel 25 of the binary output chassis, we will replace that chassis.

david.barker@LIGO.ORG - 15:40, Monday 23 June 2014 (12453)

We determined that this was not a hardware problem. I removed an EPICS-OUTPUT part between the HWWD and the delay part in h1susetmy and we were able to control the HWWD. So no binary chassis change at EY and we are able to control the HWWD. Unfortunately when I re-installed the epics part the communication continued to work, so we are not able to reproduce the problem.

sustools.py updated

[Mark Arnaud]

as reported on thursday, sustools.py has been updated in order to account for the new IOP wd state channel names.

By typing in the command line :

/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/common/scripts/./sustools.py -o ETMX wdNames

The output returns all wd state channel names associated with this suspension, including the new IOP channel name:

['H1:SUS-ETMX_R0_WDMON', 'H1:SUS-ETMX_M0_WDMON', 'H1:SUS-ETMX_L1_WDMON', 'H1:SUS-ETMX_L2_WDMON', 'H1:IOP-SUS_EX_ETMX_DACKILL', 'H1:SUS-ETMX_DACKILL']

All sus guardians will be restarted and tested tomorrow

arnaud.pele@LIGO.ORG - 17:30, Monday 30 June 2014 (12551)

By doing this change (adding "ifo-rooted" iop channels), guardian machine ran into a memory issue, similarly as few months ago with ISI guardians.

Without going into details, we basically reverted the upgrade, meaning that guardian won't look at iop wd until further notice.

All sus guardians were restarted.

The MC1, 2 and 3 suspensions are now damped manually with the guardians paused for the HAM2 in-vac work. There was an issue with these guardians who reported some Ezca errors when they were in SAFE state. Arnaud and Mark will have a look at this issue.

jameson.rollins@LIGO.ORG - 10:36, Monday 23 June 2014 (12446)

Arnaud's post from Friday implied that some of the watchdog channel names have changed.  This is almost certainly what's going on here.

Fix the names in the guardian code!  Presumably sustools.py needs to be updated.

WBSC3 HEPI DI'd Locked and Horizontal Actuators Disconnected

Apollo got the cleanroon pulled back enough to allow us access for the Dial Indicators on the West side.  Once we found a few appropriate ladders and got them wedged into place, we locked the platform and disconnected the Horiozontal Actuators from the Feet.

On Monday we'll get the load cells readers on and continue with the vertical actuator disconnect.

We might be ready to reposition (and IAS checks/direction) Monday afternoon.

SEI MEDM screens updated

SEI MEDM screens were all updated (HAM-ISI, BSC-ISI, HEPI) to account for the recent changes in the IOP Dackill channels names.

Displays are fully functional again for both HAM-ISI and HAM-HEPI. (before/after - notes)

BSC-ISI and BSC-HEPI need the IOP DACKILL parts to be updated so channel names match with chamber names, as It is currently the case on HAM chambers. DaveB has agreed to do those changes, and the related model restarts, next week so the BSC chamber IOP DACKILL channels are named as follow:
$(IFO):IOP-SEI_$(IOP)_SEI$(CHAMBER)_DACKILL_STATE, with $(CHAMBER) taking the following values: 'BS', 'ITMX', 'ITMY', 'ETMX', 'ETMY'

Work was performed under DaveB's WP #4672

$(IFO):IOP-SEI_$(IOP)_SEI$(CHAMBER)_DACKILL_STATE, with $(CHAMBER) taking the following values: 'BS', 'ITMX', 'ITMY', 'ETMX', 'ETMY'

This is not correct, it should be:

$(IFO):IOP-SEI_$(CHAMBER)_DACKILL_STATE, with $(CHAMBER) taking the following values: 'BS', 'ITMX', 'ITMY', 'ETMX', 'ETMY'

This line too in the medms needed to be correct from $(IFO):IOP-$(IOP_NAME)_DACKILL_STATE  to $(IFO):IOP-SEI_$(CHAMBER)_DACKILL_STATE

HAM 3 mobility exp. cans removed

In preparation for HAM 3 door removal on Monday, I have removed both the camera and illuminator cans from HAM 3 west door.  Gerardo was going to do a viewport inspection thereafter.  The mobility equipment is on a table next to the beamtube between HAM 2 and HAM 3.  Please try not to disturb this table as I have attempted to maintain the camera and illuminator orientation in them.  The table is labeled as such.

Camera Software Upgrade

I've finished upgrading the camera code on h1digivideo0,1, and 2 under WP 4682.  In addition to the code change, the startup scripts are now handled via Monit which means they can be controlled from the web interface with the link added to the overview MEDM.  The servers will now start all configured cameras at boot as well as the supporting IOC processes, so they are self-sufficient except for needing /ligo to read the camera INI files.  The only remaining work is to re-shuffle the camera assignments to balance them out and make room for new installs, which I'll do after coordinating with Filiberto hopefully sometime next week.
