TITLE: 06/17 Eve Shift: 2300-0800 UTC (1600-0100 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 155Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Corey
SHIFT SUMMARY: Currently Observing at 160 Mpc and have been locked for over one hour. Two locklosses during my shift, but both were easy to relock from.

LOG:

23:00UTC Detector Observing and Locked for 21 hours

23:22 Kicked out of Observing due to two cameras, ASC-CAM_PIT1_INMON and ASC-CAM_YAW1_INMON glitching or restarting
    - Weren't able to turn back on fully and gave the warning messages "[channel_name] is stuck! Going back to ADS"
    - Referencing alog 77499, we contacted Dave and he restarted camera 26 (BS cam)
23:43 Back into Observing

01:37 Lockloss
- During relocking, COMM wasn't able to get IR high enough
    - I stalled ALS_COMM and tried adjusting the COMM offset by hand, but still wasn't working
02:21 I started an initial alignment
02:43 Initial alignment done, relocking
03:27 NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE
03:29 Started running SQZ alignment (SDF)

03:38 Observing

05:28 Lockloss
05:35 Lockloss from LOCKING_ALS, started an initial alignment
06:00 Initial alignment done, starting relocking
06:43 NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE
06:45 Observing

Lockloss @ 06/17 05:28 UTC from unknown causes. Definitely not from wind or an earthquake

Closes FAMIS#26310, last checked 78362

Corner Station Fans (attachment1)
- All  fans are looking normal and within range.

Outbuilding Fans (attachment2)
- All fans are looking normal and within range.

Lockloss at 06/17 01:37 UTC - looks like it may have been due to a jump in the wind speed?

Link to report.

• The duty factor for the week was 15.43%, much lower than previous weeks. Locking problems persisted for the second half of the week (see, e.g., alog 78308). It was better in the first couple of days, at 51.91% and 38.43%, but dropped substantially thereafter. No observing data was taken from Friday through Sunday.
• The week started with a wind advisory in the region with wind gusts in excess of 25mph some times. Winds were partially responsible for lockloss and caused difficulties in maintaining lock. The wind speed was around 10 m/s or less on June 2 (UTC) but increased to as much as 17.5 m/s around 15:45hrs UTC on June 3. June 4 also remained windy; while it ebbed in the night hours, it climbed back up in the day hours to as high as 18.5 m/s by 18:00 UTC. The wind finally slowed down to below 10m/s around 4:00 UTC on June 5 and did not rise above that for the rest of the week.
• June 5 onward the duty factor remained below 10%, while several commissioning / troubleshooting exercises attempted to get the detector to maintain lock / relock.
• "Whistle" glitches in SQG FC WFC were associated with range drops in a couple of instances, as has been observed in May too -- in this alog 78263. A drop in the relative vacuum in H1:SQZ DC PhotoDiode sum/null ratio BLRMS was also found to have some correlation with range drops.
• Low-frequency (10-50Hz) noise in the IMC spectrogram appears to be correlated with high SNR glitches in Omicron (especially, on June 3).
• Hveto: 12 channels appeared in Hveto this week of which 8 were not seen in the previous week.
• FScan: Plots from June 3 seem to be missing. All plots have appeared for June 4 – 6, for which the line counts are 656, 267 and 291, respectively.

TITLE: 06/16 Day Shift: 1430-2330 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Corrective Maintenance
INCOMING OPERATOR: Oli
SHIFT SUMMARY:

IFO was in NLN and OBSERVING as of 06:05 UTC (21hr 37 min lock) but is NOW in CORRECTIVE_MAINTENANCE while we briefly restart the ADS Camera.

Like 5 minutes before my shift ended, the ADS Pitch1 Inmon and Yaw1 Inmon are stuck. It seems that they keep trying to turn on, but can't get past TURN_ON_CAMERA_FIXED_OFFSET. This has happened before alog 77499 and it is likely that the cameras just need to be restarted. We did not lose lock. Oli (incoming Op) has called Dave and they are working on it.

STATE of H1: Observing at 158Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Corey
SHIFT SUMMARY:  We are Observing at 158 Mpc and have been locked for 6 hours now. The only issues I had today was the OPO ISS maxing out at 54uW and so not being able to catch at 80uW and so needing to adjust the setpoint, and then relocking after the 06/16 00:01 UTC lockloss , I had some issues with getting PRMI and DRMI to lock, but it makes sense since the wind was still a bit high at the time. After that the night has been quiet.
LOG:

23:00 Detector relocking and at DARM_TO_RF

23:39 NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE
- SQZ OPO ISS pump having trouble locking. The OPO transmission couldn't go higher than 54.6uW
    - Adjusted OPO temp, but the current temp was the best so I put it back. Reloaded the OPO guardian (So I had changed nothing!). OPO was able to get up to 72 after this, but still not to 80.
    - Naoki came on teamspeak and lowered the threshold to 70, and it caught very soon after that.
00:01 While dealing with the OPO, we lost lock. We had been locked for 22 minutes

00:29 Lockloss from ACQUIRE_DRMI
00:30 Started an initial alignment
00:51 Initial alignment done, relocking
01:04 Lockloss from ACQUIRE_DRMI
01:52 NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE
01:56 Observing
02:01 Our range was low so I took us out of Observing and ran the sqz tuning guardian states
02:10 Back to Observing, with a 7Mpc increase in range

05:25 Left Observing and started calibration measurements
05:53 Calibration measurements done, running sqz alignment (new optic offsets accepted)

06:05 Back into Observing

Calibration was run between 06/16 05:25 and 05:53 UTC

06/16 05:24 UTC I took us out of Observing to run a calibration sweep that we weren't able to run earlier.

Currently Observing at 152 Mpc and have been Locked for 55 mins. We had a lockloss at 06/16 00:01 UTC, 22 minutes into NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE, and relocking required me helping with PRMI and DRMI, but we were able to get up eventually. The wind is slowly going down and is around 25mph now.

HAM4 annulus ion pump signal railed about 7:50 utc 06/15/2024.  No immediate attention is required, per trend of PT120, an adjecent gauge, the internal pressure does not appear to be affected.  HAM4 AIP will be assesed next Tuesday.
