CO2X:
- Laser left on running overnight again.
- Prepare gig-E camera infrastructure for wiring and software.

CO2Y:
- Rotation Stage working, turns out that the motor power cable  at the feed through was not plugged in.
- Starting to connect up temp. sensors on table, looking for the custom clamps that mount the sensors.
 
HAM4 HWS:
- Alignment laser is the wrong wavelength for the dichroic mirror which is HR at 650-900nm and HT at 500-550nm.
- Lens mounts readied for install in-vac

We twice observed a filter module turn on almost immediately, even though it was supposed to ramp over 15seconds.

It is not reproducable in the sence that it seems to be a random occurance, and usually ramps with the propper time.

 LVEA is Laser HAZARD!

NOTE: Today while going over the CDs Check sheet, I noticed that the Right BOSEM on PRM was reading almost 0. I talked to Alexa and concluded that it was because the suspension has been yawed.

Heated volume is adjacent to but isolated from unpumped volume seen by PT246A,B gauges -> Ignore readings from PT246A,B until further notice (2 weeks?)

Last week I took some in chamber, in vacuum acceptance measurements for TMSx and TMSy. ISI tables were both isolated during the measurement.

Attached are the 6 Dofs transfer functions measurements as well as the osems spectra for both suspended tables :

1. TMSX TF compared with the model
2. TMSX spectra for each osem, as well as in the euler basis
3. TMSY TF compared with the model
4. TMSY spectra for each osem, as well as in the euler basis
5. TF comparison of both H1 TMSs and L1 TMSs

To note :

The difference seen in the TF of H1 TMSx is explained in previous alogs
TMSx spectra shows excess 60Hz noise in F1 F2 F3 and LF osems (see 2nd attachment)
Damping for the yaw degree of freedom, for both TMSs is increasing the motion at the resonnance (see last page of 2nd and fourth attachment). I will turn the yaw damping off for both TMSs for now.

Took a first look at the SRM surrogate (SRM-s) today and lo-and-behold, no adjustment was necessary.    The cookie cutters did their job and placed the suspension within spec for X, Y, and Z axis positions.  The position errors are below:

• X axis (lateral): -1.5 mm (south)
  • Tolerance: ±4.6 mm
• Y axis (longitudinal): +1.3 mm (west)
  • Tolerance: ±3.0 mm
• Z axis (vertical): +0.9 mm (high)
  • Tolerance: ±3.0 mm

I have begun and mostly completed the setup for the rough pitch/yaw alignment of the SRM-s.  This will be completed tomorrow morning and the rough pitch/yaw alignment will follow.

Fabrice and Dave:

We successfully made a new h1isiitmy model using the latest isi2stagemaster model changes. We restarted h1isiitmy with the new code

Chris, Sheila, Dave:

I found that I had mistakenly restarted an incorrect h1asc model on Tuesday. After the first DAQ restart that day I noticed that the DAQ picked up a newer INI fle for h1asc and I assumed (which we should never do) that the last "make install" was correct. It appears that later changes were not installed. 

I did a clean "make" and "make install" on h1asc and restarted the model.

Dave:

Finally I did a DAQ restart to support the above changes (remembering to wait into the next 10min period to flush out the second trends)

Here is the restart sequence in detail:

        LVEA is Laser SAFE

Richard warned me that the Fiber polarization had probably drifted at EY due to some work done around the table. Indeed it had drifted to up to 33% for the wrong polarization. However, Stefan had increased the threshold to 36. I returned the threshold down to 30 and adjusted the controller. I also had to adjust the EX polarization when I turned the controller on, which forced both polarizations to drift. All is good now.

Craning activity in the LVEA at the moment. A cleanroom is being moved - Apollo

unexpected restart of h1fw1

Kiwamu, Stefan,

Both ALS_DIFF and ALS_COMM were straight forward today, and we got them locked literally in minutes. I.e. the ESD is still working fine.

We misaligned the arms, and verified that 3f locking works just fine without the arms.

We locked the arms and parked them 1kHz off resonance. I this configuration the the RF27_I signal worked fine, but the REFL27_Q signal had significant contamination from the COMM noise at 70Hzish (periscope peak). Thus we designed a broad notch filter in the mich loop, which kept the BS from saturating.

However it seems that MICH is still too strongly contaminated by the low frequency COMM noise. As a result the MICH loop seems to drift out of its linear range.

Ideas:
 - divide REFL27_Q by POP_18 to expand the linear range
 - rephrase REFL27 to reduce the coupling

Either way, an earthquake told us to get some sleep.

- Corner Hartmann table now has the Y-arm in-air optics mounted and positioned, ready for alignment using the visible laser. Components for the HWS were tracked down and staged.
- TCSX CO2 laser continued to run all day. Once going to laser hazard we realigned the CO2 beam that is transmitted through the output beam splitter. This transmitted beam passes through another 50/50 beam splitter, with the (second) transmitted beam aligned to the output power meter, while the reflected beam was expanded and aligned to the FLIR camera screen position. This required the repositioning of some cables and mounts located near the CO2 laser and RF driver.  

TSCX laser will continue to run overnight. Rotation stage set to 44 degrees (with interlock cable removed to prevent changes to this angle). Table doors are locked. 
TSCY chiller and power supplies continue to run, TCSY laser is turned off.

Richard showed me that there is a liner coupling from any of the electrodes to the OPLEV even when there's no bias anywhere, and the bias-less coupling is on the same order as the coupling with bias.

I started flipping the bias of the common ("DC") electrode while keeping all four quadrants at zero count output, and indeed there's a linear coupling, and the effect is not subtle.

In the attached, I changed the DC bias from 125000 to 0 to -125000, then to 0 and finally back to +125000. The ETM points up by 0.3urad in the first step, then further up 0.5urad in the second step (instead of going back to the original position). It's 0.8 urad peak to peak!

OTOH, when I set the four quadrants such that top two outputs -50900 counts and the bottom +50900 to tilt the optic legitimately while the DC bias is kept at 125000 counts, I can only move it by -0.5 urad peak to peak (second attachment).

This could still be electronics offset, so I looked at the ESD readback. The readback is not calibrated, but four quadrants always read from -75 to -200 counts when I'm outputing zero, the 300volt-ish thing reads 30000-ish counts, so the voltage offset for the quadrants should be 2V-ish at most. That's not large enough, I think.

I think that the ISI trip happened before the suspension trip, this was while we were locking diff.  I also thought that the T240s were green before I untripped the watchdog, but maybe they weren't because the ISI tripped again as it was isolating. 

This afternoon, after Jeff balanced the coils, I took measurements on the main chain of ETMY for filter design.
Results attached are showing Length/Pitch/Yaw drive to Pitch/Yaw Response for the top mass, UIM and PUM. Y axis is in urad/cts
