As a preparation for moving the IOT2L table, we have disconnected all the relevant exterior cables. The table is ready to move. The attached is a cable layout as of this morning jsut for a book-keeping purpose.

The OSEM overview screen that has been running on the top leftmost monitor in the control room has been showing the raw OSEM signals (e.g., H1:SUS-MC1_M1_OSEMINF_T1_INMON) before normalization to ±15000 counts and conversion to microns. This makes it harder to see anomalous offsets because the working positions are all over the place. Therefore I changed them to look at the OSEMINF_*_OUTPUT channels.

In userapps I edited 

^/trunk/cds/h1/medm/H1CDS_SUS_OSEM_OVERVIEW.adl

and 

^/trunk/cds/h1/medm/H1CDS_SUS_OSEM_LARGE_OVERVIEW.adl

with gedit to change all instances of _INMON to _OUTPUT and all instances of hoprDefault=32000 to

loprDefault=-350

hoprDefault=350

where 350 = 15000*0.0233333. With these limits the working position of each indicator should be vertical if the GAIN and OFFSET fields are set to normalize raw signals in the range 0 to ≈22-31K to exactly ±15000 (per the standard SUS procedure), and FM5 is engaged to convert to microns.

After testing the changes I committed the files.

As a follow up to Betsy's log last night, I went out to ITMX this morning to release HEPI and look at actuator gaps. Payload is almost back to full, so I would expect if everything is healthy for HEPI to be pretty much centered. This is what I found, BUT... the vertical stops were all loose, meaning the platform had moved up some. I've also looked at IPS trends and they don't look horrible, reasonable shifts considering I locked with the loops on, a lot of payload came off then back on and we are still light some payload.So, a couple thoughts on what could have happened.

- Basically nothing. The error Jason found is all somehow in SUS. Seems unlikely.

- Some incredibly lucky/unlucky combination of horrible shifts. SUS removed a lot of payload, then pushed up on the platform a lot when they added back. I didn't get a really hard lock on HEPI because I was trying to preserve the aligned position, and it's really hard to reach all of the stops necessary. This means the platform could have moved up, moved the actuators in their mounts (if SUS pushed REALLY hard, seems unlikely) and somehow we have come back down just the right amount for HEPI to look more or less ok. I would expect that if we had come up enough to move the actuators 6mm (presumably when we removed payload or when SUS pushed on the platform with their arm), the platform would come back down and the HEPI actuators would be bottomed out. That's not what I found, so I don't know what's happening here.

Anyway, if Jason finds we are still 3 mm high, it means completely re-doing HEPI at that chamber. We should also re-check the level of the ISI at this point. Will probably also require re-doing some tests on HEPI, that we wouldn't otherwise do.

Jim is the Operator on shift today, but he is needed to help out with work at BSC3 for the ITMx alignment.  Here's my summary from 8:15 - 10:55am:

red=unexpected restarts of fw1. light-green=psl/lsc rfpd work, dark-green=IOP-SWWD install, blue=DAQ restarts to support aforementioned work.

Following Dave's changes, I modified HSTS/HLTS/OMC medm screens to have the iop dackill state reported correctly on HAM2 (MC1 MC3 PRM PR3) HAM3 (MC2 PR2) HAM4 (SR2) HAM5 (SRM SR3) and HAM6 (OMC).

Since the upgrade, the state channel names include the suspension name eg. :

old : H1:IOP-SUS_H2A_DACKILL_STATE
new : H1:IOP-SUS_H2A_MC1_DACKILL_STATE

The following files were modified but NOT commited to the svn (they won't be until LLO get the new iop software watchdog)

/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/common/medm/hxts/SUS_CUST_HLTS_OVERVIEW.adl

I have installed the new SWWD on the IOP models associated with HAM2,3,4,5.

The SWWD laucher MEDM was updated (see attachment). I have also attached an example of the generic macro substituted detail screen.

Models changed today are: h1iopsush2a, h1iopsush34, h1iopseih23, h1iopseih45. All were built against branches/branch-2.8.

Today, Travis and I discovered that we had incorrect blade tip heights on both the main and reaction UIM masses of the ITMx.  The blades were set ~5mm too high causing Jason to sight a high test mass.  Joe O'dell from RAL happens to be visiting htis week (on the QUAD design team) so we put him to work helping us lower all 4 blades.  Once that was finished, Jason re-observed that we were still ~3-5mm too high.  In conversation with Hugh, it dawns on him that one of the height locking stages of HEPI does not have top stops to constrain upward motion.  And since we removed most of the QUAD, we think possibly stuff floated upward upstairs (HEPI).  We did replace most of the QUAD, but the side constraining HEPI lockers can get jammed into position not alowwing for downward float.  Additionally, the use of the install arm to reinstall the QUAD may have created more upward force on the HEPI than intended.

Jim is poised to check for gaps on the bottom HEPI lockers tomorrow morning first thing, after he gets a sub for his operator chair duty. 

Made modifications to whitening chassis in racks: ISC-R1, ISC-R2, and ISC-R4. Connected all units back in R1 and R4. In the process of cleaning up cabling and reinstalling electronics in ISC-R2. Work will continue tomorrow.

--Dust Monitor #6 at HAM6 continues to give faulty readings

Peter, Patrick, Kiwamu and Dave.

The DC readout of the PSL-FSS RFPD cable was connected to the 7th channel of the PSL-FSS ADC. The h1lsc model was changed to remove this channel and the h1pslfss model was changed to add this channel (channel name was not changed in the transition).

In detail,

LSC model PSL top-named part, model file is lsc/common/models/lscpsl.mdl. This had three parts:

filter-module-with-control (all inputs grounded) for RFPD which was removed (moved to h1pslfss)

filter-module-with-control (all inputs grounded) POWER_SCALE which has extensive LSC links and (via IPC) ASC links too. We left this unchanged.

epics-input part (input grounded) POWER_REQUEST which was not used by the model nor any MEDM other than tam.adl. Kiwamu gave permission to remove this.

PSL FSS model, file psl/common/models/pslfss.mdl modified to connect the 7th ADC input to a new standard IIR filter called RFPF_DC

Bottom line: tthe filter module name is still H1:PSL-FSS_RFPD_DC, but is now hosted from h1pslfss and not h1lsc and is a standard IIR filter sans controls.

(Corey, Rick)

Rick and the PSL crew have a procedure for Operators to run through for assessing the performance of the PSL via the DBB (Diagnostic BreaBoard).  This is something which should be done on a weekly basis.  (takes roughly about an hour).  The procedure shows how one runs the measurements and it also generates plots one should post in the alog.  Today, we went through the procedure and made a few notes.  We were not able to run all the measurements since the FSS was down at the time. 

The four DBB measurements we ran were:

1. RPN (Relative Power Noise)
2. PNT (Pointing Noise)
3. MSC (Mode Scan....Beam Quality Measurement)

We did not get to run the FRQ (Frequency Noise Measurement), since the FSS was being worked on.

Attached are the measurements we ran (they are located at: /ligo/lho/data/psl/psl_noisereports/2014-06-17)

Will post  an Operator Procedure for this soon!

I and Dan replaced the bad UL BOSEM unit (SN of bobbin part of that assy is SN250, D0601106-C) with a good one (SN282) pulled out of spare "half-assembled" tip-tilt assy (base plate SN 034).

We also replaced UR one (SN258) with a spare (SN134) that was pulled out of the same half-assembled TT assy simply because we were not sure if the open voltage of SN258 (about 20000 counts) was too small. Later it turns out that 20k counts open voltage is not abnormal.

The newly installed units were of course assembled in the past but without fit check, and it turns out that the gap around the connector was non-existent and I had to loosen some screws and shift things around to make a good gap. I also used aluminum foil shim trick.

After this, we centered BOSEMs for all Tip-tilts to half the open voltage.

WFS DC, AS_C QPD, OMCR QPDs, OMC QPDs and OMC DCPDs all responded to flash light.

Beam diverters moved back and forth.

Picomotors moved. On cable #234, the first, the second and the third channels correspond to WFSA, WFSB and AS_C picomotors. On cable #235, the first channel is the downstream 2" mirror for the QPD sled, the second the upstream 1" steering.

Checked ground loops from outside the chamber, and all cables including SUS were good except beam diverters (we know that they ground inside the chamber) and OMC QPDs (shield grounted to the DCPD signal ground) and OMC PZTs (same as OMC QPDs).

Kyle valved out the Y1 Module for a few hours today. Tomorrow  we will valve out the Y2 module.

Attached is the rate of rise for the two end vacuum gauges.

If I have done the math correctly this translates to a very low outgassing rate with no significant leaks :  1.3 e-6 tl/sec for the 2km module. If it is all H2 this yields ~2e-14 tl/s/cm2
