It is a long way from being robust, and it is quite slow, but the cavity dither alignment worked this evening. The commands are:

The new tdsdither is a perl script replacement for the malfunctioning ezcademod which currently lives in userapps/trunk/isc/common/scripts. The attached image shows the power increase as the ITM and ETM alignment are dithered.
With the new channels names the commands are:

After a lot of work from Dave and the Jeffs, we got the SUSs running again. Keita and Bram also finished revamping the ALS WFS telescopes, so there is now beam on ETMY and some power in the cavity. It should be ready for Hartman work in the morning.
Attached are plots of dust counts > .5 microns in particles per cubic foot.
Completed the Horizontal Actuator attachment and release of all the Actuators today. Jason (IAS) checked and we are in spec. I still want to do to a final Vertical Elevation & Level check of the Table.
Broadband photodetector S1200235 has been removed from MY, and is now in the LSB for testing of the ALS fiber distribution chassis.
J. Kissel, F. Matichard, P.Fristchel After putting together information from all over the everywhere, I've produced (dare I call it) a NoiseBudget for the H2 OAT Y Arm cavity. Attached are the results. [[Editorial Note: I've uploaded -v2 of the plots. Now the calibration for the cavity length signal is just 1e-9 [m/nm], as Matt suggests in his comments below. Also removed the free-running laser frequency noise from SARM L budget since it's not applicable when the PLL is on, and corrected the ylabel typo on the Pitch estimate, so it now reads [rad/rtHz] as expected.]] All data was measured starting at 2012-07-17 04:50UTC (7 averages, BW 0.005, 50% overlap), which we believe is the second stretch of cavity lock shown in LHO aLOG 3463.

The output of PDH_FMON, and ISC input to the ETM, is already calibrated in nm. That, this part:
cavityModel_m.gain = 6.1e-10; % [m/ct] cavityModel_m.poles_Hz = [1.6 10 10]; cavityModel_m.zeros_Hz = [40 100 100]; Is already in the PDH_FMON filter bank.
The safe-state burt backup file for H2SUSETMY was updated yesterday after some newly-installed Simulink parts were added to the "h2susitmy" user model. The damping filters were turned off and DC alignment offsets zeroed for the snapshot. The snapshot file is under SVN control locally in: '/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/h2/burtfiles/etmy/h2susetmy_safe.snap'. The DC alignment offsets on the ETMY M0 stage used to align the beam were initially: H2:SUS-ETMY_M0_PIT_OFFSET = -2820 H2:SUS-ETMY_M0_YAW_OFFSET = 1215 These values were set to zero for the safe snapshot file. This file is used by the start-up process when rebooting the user model "h2susetmy". The intention is to have the system in a state that is not actuating on the suspension when rebooted.
Nothing seems to work (MEDM screen all white), and from Dave's alog entry it sounds as if RFM work was not the direct cause of this.
Why no alog?
Attempts were made to both upgrade the h2susitmy and h2susetmy models, in addition to adding RFM parts. The attempt to upgrade the SUS was left incomplete and non-functional, unbeknownst by those adding the RFM parts who also tried upgrading. The result is the current disaster you found. I will dive in an rectify, in concert with Dave B., this morning. All apologies.
Attached are plots of dust counts > .5 microns in particles per cubic foot. I have also included plots of the modes for dust monitors 10 and 16 in the LVEA (H0:PEM-LVEA_DST10_MODE, H0:PEM-LVEA_DST16_MODE) to show when they were probably swapped by Michael R. for dust monitors without internal pumps.
Keita and Bram.
We replaced the the RF LSC Diode, as we could not work out if it was behaving ok (edit: working badly was not the correct wording). We check the power cable (15-pin connector) and all seemed fine.
We pulled out S1000885 and inserted S1000881.
This was done prior the power measurements mentioned in entry 3471.
Keita and Bram
We measured the power inthe optical train on the ISCTEY (after the RF LSC Diode swap, see entry 3470).
Forward path: Laser -- FI1 --- 30 mW --- FI2 --- EOM --- 27 mW --- FI3 --- Mirrors + lenses --- 20 mW ---- retro mirror
Return path to RF LSC Diode: retro mirror --- FI3 --- 7 mW --- R=80% mirror --- 4 mW -- RF LSC Diode
Return path to WFS: FI3 -- 7 mW --- T=20% mirror --- 3 mW --- to both WFS.
The DC output gives us 45 mV (48 mV with lens), resulting in 3 mW (3.2 mW) of power being 'converted'. About 0.3 mW is being reflected and dumped.
We added a half waveplate just before the R=80% beam splitter, as all mirrors are coated for vertical polarised light (it becomes apperant that there are tom any waveplates on the table!!)
With this, we get 6.3 mW on the RF LSC Diode and 1.07 mW into the main WFS path (this will get split by a 50-50 beam splitter, so ~0.5 mW per WFS).
This in turn gives 69 mV (edit: removed the 0.) on the DC output of the LSC diode, e.g. 0.69 / (10 * 5 * 0.3) = 4.6 mW.
DAQ: staggered shutdown of both frame writers to remove memory from the ldas gateway machines.
Added slow temperature channels to the H2 frame.
booted h2boot machine to see if this would fix the FE EPICS slow down when h2boot is being backed up; result- it didnt
extended the EY RFM reflective memory loop from EY into the LVEA. The path is (starting with the 5595 RFM switch at EY):
single mode patch through to the VEA patch panel.
In MSR, patch between the EY to H2B patch panels (single mode)
Install of 5595 RFM switch in H2B in computer racks.
Patch cable from H2B's patch panel to new 5595 unit.
multimode fiber from new 5595 unit through hole-in-the-wall directly to the h2susb478 front end.
Installation of a 5595 RFM pcie card in h2susb478 (required replacement of 3 slot riser with 4 slot riser).
I attempted to make an IPC change to the h2susitmy model to test this, but other model/medm changes are happening which is confuscating things.
Performed patch of new cdsssh 2FA login machine.
Jim moved 48GB of memory from the H2 LDAS gateway machines to the h1 frame writers (h1fw0, h1fw0) to give them the same amount as the H2 frame writers. This has been on our to-do list for some time, but because it required the shutdown of both H1 and H2 DAQs it was delayed until it became a stability issue with the H1 frame writers.
After increasing the power into the ref cav yesterday and religning the FSS path today, we can lock the ref cav with 5.65V on the transmitted PD. Visibility is low, around 66%, so that will have to be worked on next.
I adjusted WP4 to change the DC voltage on the RFPD to 460mV. Common gain was set to 18dB giving a UGF of 180kHz. I don't believe this to be ideal so it will also have to be changed.
Today, the guys finished fully suspending the glass MC2 and took a preliminary look at it's height and pitch alignment. With the optical autolevel and a height guage (standard HXTS alignment procedure), the height measured to be at nominal (214mm to better than +/- 1mm).
The roll of the optic is out by 0.8mm over the distance from the left prism to the right.
The pitch was measured via looking at the pitch of the side scribe line on the optic (which is known to be crooked by ~0.1mm over it's length) so is estimated at ~4.5mRad. Independently, an optical lever was set up near the top edge of the optic (above the FC, so yes, high on the 27m ROC surface) and the pitch again measured to be 4.5mRad +/- 1mRad.
We're not sure what the IAS requirements are, so we'll need to find those before determining what errors to improve.
The actual measured height of the top of the Bottom Mass is 215mm from the tabletop. The target height is 215mm +/- 1mm. I sent Betsy the incorrect height.
