Maintenance Summary

SEI ITMY: Vincent and Richard. Changed the h1isiitmy and h1hpiitmy models to agree with Ben's drawings. Rearranged the ADC cables at the rear of the IO Chassis as part of this change. WP 3699 is closed.

added h1seib2 to the Dolphin and DAQ networks.

Installed new channel list in the h1broadcast0 dmt data. Restarted DAQ.

Cleaned up the EDCU CDS channels to remove obsolete front ends and add new front ends.

Jim connected h1oaf0, h1lsc0,h1asc0 RFM to the two RFM switches (X and Y arm), this removed the IPC errors on these front ends.

Imported h2susauxb478 as a first release of h1susauxb123 (removed FMX,Y components).

Powered up h1susauxh34 now that the IO Chassis power supply problem was resolved.

Added h1susbs, h1iopsusauxb123, h1susauxb123, h1iopsusauxh34 and h1susauxh34 to the DAQ.

New IOP models (drawing cleanup and adding SVN Id and HeadURL tags) installed into: h1iopseib1, h1iopseib2, h1iopsusauxh34, h1iopsusauxh2, h1iopsusauxb123.

WP3713 remains open as Hugo did not get to loading the new HAM ISI and HPI models. This may be done later this week.

Reconfigure x1dc0 to use additional mx 10GE card
For x1dc0, removed the 3 slot PCIe riser card, installed a 4 slot PCIe riser.  Installed 3 10GE fiber cards, 1 IRIG-B card.  2 of the 10GE cards are configured for mx communication to the x1daq switch to allow testing of daqd software on multiple paths.  The x1daq switch is configured for 1 vlan for both 10GE fibers and all the front end computers.  Through experimentation, the following order of cards has been determined:

For acceptance review, I reprocessed the data for the beamsplitter, after seeing a legend mismatch between the plotted results and the raw data from PULSE software.
Therefore the attached results below are the ones to look at, and are following the accelerometer axis convention represented on the last attachement

(2) BandK_results_Y_Exc.pdf

(3) Picture of BS with axis convention and hammer impact location

Those results in X to X (blue of 1st pdf) and Y to Y (green of 2nd pdf) are not showing any high Q resonnances below 150Hz, meaning the vibration absorbers are working as expected, and the test passed succesfully.

h1fw1 back after Sunday Afternoon crash

Dan M investigated the MSR SATABOY failure which occured at 15:23 Sunday afternoon. The system was performing a weekly maintenance task and crashed, it is a mystery why this happed this weekend. He took opportunity of the stopped system to perform the same firmware upgrades on the Sun box h1ldasgw1 as he did with h1ldasgw0 last week. The h1fw0 system is back up and running.

We noticed a mismatch in min trend saving periods, 60 mins for h1fw1 and only 30 mins for h1fw0. I changed h1fw0 to use 60 mins which will be applied on the next daq restart.

I turned the HEPAs, AC units, and make up air back to 100%. I increased the temperature of the AC units from 20 C to 21 C as this is the temperature the room seemed to settle at. We'll try another test in the future with this new setting to see how the room responds.

PR3 optic suspended

With the help of Gerardo 1 and 2, and Deepak, we used the ergo arm to stuff the PR3 optic into the suspension.  We then suspended the mass, adjusting roll and height to within the 1mm tolerance and 1mm.  Official height numbers coming shortly.  Deepak will tweek the top stage BOSEMs into center tomorrow and then we're ready for Phase 2b TFs.

betsy.weaver@LIGO.ORG - 10:10, Tuesday 12 February 2013 (5470)

We measured the diameter of the optic to be 265.1mm, while the vendor data posted on the CIT Nebula website shows 264.91 so we're in pretty good agreement.  We tweeked the height of the optic via adding 20g of mass to the top of the top mass, setting the bottom of the optic 26.6mm from the table surface.  This sets the center line of the optic at 158.75mm off of the table surface.  Nominal is 158mm as per the optomech layout drawing for PR3 on HAM2.

IMC WFS and Length DC interface are not working as they're supposed to

I turned off the LSC RFPD interface chassis (D1102060) for IMC length diode using the switch at the back panel, disconnected the length diode cable, connected a DB9 break out board at the front panel without connecting anything else (but the back panel was still connected to the ADC), switched on/off the chassis (again using the switch at the back) and measured how the +-18V supply for the diodes behave.

To my disappointment, every time I did this test, for about 1ms to 1.5ms there was a window where the negative power was -18V but the positive was basically non-existent (below 5V). It seems as if the negative voltage goes live immediately. See the first picture, the scale is 5V and 1ms/div.

This is the unit that we've been using since the start of IMC installation.

I did the same test for WFS interface (D1101865), and it was only marginally better than the length interface (second picture, same scale as the first one).

This is the unit that replaced the broken unit, but since this one was put into service WFS was connected/disconnected hot.

Switching off was much better for both of these units, basically both of the rails came down slowly at the same time (the last picture, note the slower 4ms/div scale).

During these tests, the only things powered by the chassis were the DC interface cards in the chassis and of course the power protection board itself. 

I don't know if the units are broken, we'll test them further though the change Rich Abbott made to diode boxes will hopefully make this behavior harmless.

I also tested the LSC interface for LSC (not for IMC), which was never used but was installed in the rack.

This is better than the used units, but the negative power comes in faster than the positive.

HAM-ISI - Viton Pads Efficiency Test

Viton pads are usually set under the balancing masses of the HAM-ISIs in order to damp resonances at high frequencies (above 100Hz).

The SEI team would like to asses the improvements that the Viton Pads help achieving. To do so, we decided to have viton pads under the balancing masses of the ISIs of LLO's IMC, and to try without those pads here at LHO.

Transfer functions were measured ovenight on LHO HAM3-ISI. We compared those transfer functions with the ones measured at LLO under an equivalent state:

Comparative plots are attached.

The script which produced the plots mentioned above was re-checked. The curves it displays match with the ouput of the generic commissioning scripts, for both LLO and LHO. 

Data in the 5Hz-200Hz range was retreived and added to the plot. Results are attached.

The results presented above were calibrated and transposed into the cartesian Basis, as performed during the step 3 of the commissioning process of HAM-ISIs.

Narrow peaks can still be seen on LLO's transfer functions. We held off on the installation of the Scraper Baffles here, while they were already on the ISI at LLO, at the time of the measurement. It could be the cause of it.

Once HAM3 chamber is open, we will look at the items installed on the ISI. It should help clarifying the cause those peaks that we did not witness here.

I attached a picture of HAM3 chamber taken on Dec 6th 2012. Pumpdown started on Dec. 21st.
