The path around the H2 BSC chamber to the back side of the vacuum envelope at EndX goes through and under the white steel frame for the SEI and SUS mating.   See photo below.

The overhead clearance is really low, about 5 to 5.5 feet.  It can be and has been a real head buster.  Especially hard to navigate with (often fogged) laser glasses, clean room garb etc.

Mike Vargas added some red tape to both sides while I was picking myself up.

We might consider dismantling it now or somehow rerouting  the path to the back side.

Travis installed the Pcal ETM target on the suspension frame.

EndX was transitioned to Laser Hazard for the Pcal 1047 nm laser.

Checking Pcal periscope structure alignment began by sliding under the Arm Cavity Baffle.  Had do move the particulate witness plate about a foot East from directly under the center of the ACB.

Got a good start on the alignment checks.  Plan to return Monday morning to continue with this work.

EndX transitioned to Laser Safe before leaving.

I took the readings 4 times and these are accurate. Mind you I guess it could be due to a combination of me moving baffles, and by this stage also work was going on in BSC2 trying to put the baffle on

I have included pics for people fo humidity/temp readings as well

I have locked the face stops of the intermediate and bottom mass of three of the 4 HXTS's in HAM2. Just MC1 to go (which of course will be the hardest). I have marked the position of the baffle in front of PRM using dog clamps and removed the baffle

After locking the ISI, I then proceeded to lock the face EQ stops of the intermediate and bottom mass of MC2 and PR2. Then like in HAMs 4 and 5 yesterday I had a look around at the other EQ stops on both suspensions on all three stages. All look in good position and the nuts are locked down, so didnt have to touch them.

I marked the positions of the MC2 and PR2 scraper baffles using dog clamps and both scraper baffles have been removed to allow access to the optic to first contact them

Well I left it as late as i could to try to make sure that Hugh's TF's were finished..but for the record in case I didnt, at a little after 10am I started the locking process on HAM3. The "A" locker is a little sticky but other than that is fine

As an added note: it was interesting that I could smell the First contact as it was being applied in BSC2 all the way up at HAM5 when I was working there. Just more interesting than anything as shows how the purge can propogate stuff from that chamber all the way to HAM5

I have included photos in case people are also interested in temp or RH in chamber at time

After the SEI guys locked up the HAM4 ISI I went in and locked up the face stops of the intermediate and bottom mass of SR2. Like in HAM5, I noticed a lot of EQ stops were pulled back a long way and so using an inspection mirror/flashlight combination I have set EQ stops closer (where appropriate) and locked the EQ stops nuts into position (as best I could). Thus to lock and unlock the suspension  from now until closeout should only require locking and unlocking the face EQ stops of the intermediate and bottom mass.

To enable FC'ing of the mirror to happen I marked the position of the TCS mirror in front of SR2 with dog clamps and removed the mirror (see pics below)

SR2 should now be ready for FC'ing

Following the connection of the SEI control signals out of the HWWD chassis to the ISI Coil Drivers, we changed the HWWD settings to nominal:

We also changed these settings in the h1susetmy_safe.snap file and committed to SVN (r8402)

After the SEI guys let me know HAM5 ISI was locked back up I went in and locked the face stops of the intermediate and bottom mass of the SRM and SR3 suspensions. I then used dog clamps upside down to mark the position of the baffle in front of SR3 and removed it so that the SR3 optic can be first contacted.

I then had a look around both suspensions and noticed that a lot of EQ stops were a long way back. I have gone around both suspensions using an inspection mirror/light and moved EQ stops closer and locked (as best I could) the EQ stop nuts so that the EQ stops should not move. This includes moving three of the 4 EQ stops underneath the intermediate mass of SR3 closer (I couldnt get an an angle to adjust the fourth one closer, but I could do up the nut). When it comes to unlocking and locking the suspensions from now until closeup should only require moving the face stops of the intermediate and lower mass.

The suspensions should now be ready for first contact to be applied

I also whilst in the chamber wiped out the inside of the bellows, etc. If you asked me if it was necessary, see the pic for an example of the sort of stuff was getting on wipes when wiping out the bellows

Peter, Jim, Dave

we added a 2Hz low pass filter on the RFPD filter module within the FSS model and turned it on. I moved the H1PSLFSS.txt file to the userapps area and checked it into SVN (r8401).

Rebalanced the ISI and ended up removing 0.8lbs and moving other.  Not too bad and a well within spec lock/unlock with worst shift of ~400counts (1600 spec.)

The ISI is unlocked and SUS has now unlocked the SUSes and we'll set up for TFs tonight.

Attached are the spectra from last night TFs from HAM4.  SR2 as well was undamped and the extra wiggles are right where the SUS resonances are positioned (VC-APele.)  Otherwise these look about as clean as has ever been seen for HAM4.

The ISI is now locked for First Contact.

It looks like the data from the ETMY STS is not getting saved to the frames correctly. If you look at the attached plot, it shows an ASD of the ETMY STS. I've plotted  both the data (5 minutes of data starting at 17 July 00:00 UTC) from the SENSCOR channels (H1:ISI-ETMY_ST1_SENSCOR_GND_STS_X/Y/Z_FIR_IN1_DQ) and ISI-GND channels (H1:ISI-GND_STS_ETMY_X/Y/Z_DQ) - no filters have been applied, this is just the raw data. The SENSCOR channel looks fine so we do not think the sensor is broken, but the data isn't being saved correctly to the H1:ISI-GND_STS_ETMY_X/Y/Z_DQ channels. 

Summary - Data is not being saved correctly to the H1:ISI-GND_STS_ETMY_X/Y/Z_DQ channels.
