Correcting these numbers with the ETMy test stand positions gives the current ETMy position errors (error spec is ±1.0mm for X, ±3.0mm for Y):
With the estimated error, this puts the ETMy lateral position either within spec or wildly out of spec. The axial position is in spec regardless.
Vincent was ready to use the opportunity of BSC6 availability so I've uncovered the ISI. For several days now, the ISI has been covered allowing work down below in the cleanroom, with the doors covers in place, with just a frock, cap, & mask. Now that the ISI is uncovered, all entrance to the BSC6 cleanroom requires full bunny garb.
I relieved Corey at ~12:00 today, who was relieving someone else during the morning. - Fire alarm maintenance was here in the afternoon. - Apollo made a delivery for Hugh at ~13:55. - EY: IAS, SEI, ALS, TMS, usual work. Phone communication still not working from the Control Room to EY (unclear if signal block is electronic or human in nature). - BSC8: SLC, SUS working on finishing up BSC8 ITM, FM installation. We should work on keeping a camera pointed at BSC8 because the Control Room receives many inquiries regarding the status of work at BSC8. - LVEA dust monitors not working for much of the day. - AEI group continues working at PSL. - Ops: Please give feedback to Cheryl. - OSB doors locked at 16:05.
HAMISI#5 Work (Corey, Jim)
HAMISI#6 Work
Moved /ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/epics to point to epics-3.14.12.2_long to fix bugs. StripTool now works on Linux workstations. This version has been installed for Darwin for several months with no problems.

After growing up in the optics-table nursery next to HAM-6, the ALS table has struck out on its own into the wider world. It found a nice rent-controlled place about 2.5 miles to the south that advertises an unobstructed view of ITMY. It's settling in; the cable guy is scheduled to arrive tomorrow sometime between 8am and 4pm. Before the move, Alberto and I wrapped all the external fixtures in Ameristat, plugged holes with clean-room tape, and then wrapped the entire table enclosure and the legs in plastic wrap to keep the dust off. The Apollo crew did a masterful job craning the table out of the laser area (table weight: 2250 lbs) and then moved it to the flatbed trailer with a forklift. Despite winds gusts that had to be ~45mph, the trip to the end was smooth. We stripped the plastic wrap off in the first highbay area, gave everything a thorough wipe-down with alcohol wipes, and pushed the table into its new home. Thanks to TVo and Tomoki for the help. The HEPA fan for the table is plugged in and running. We lowered the screws on the table legs; we'll probably have to fine-tune the position once we start aligning beams, but for now there's enough friction that you won't move the table if you push on it. Pictures attached; there's a time-lapse video of our trip down the arm here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ4hqGtzz40

The rogue excitation monitor trips when there is a voltage on the coil drivers readback (>100mV) whereas either the masterswitch is turned off or the watchdogs are tripped.
I was able to trip this monitor when there was no excitations (by tripping the ISI-SUS watchdogs). I drove -32000 counts (-9.76V) on one actuator and tripped the ISI-SUS watchdogs. As soon as the watchdogs tripped, the outputs of the models are 0 (ISI watchdogs + DACKILL part). But the voltage on the readbacks didn't go down to zero instantaneously. It took about 2 seconds to reach 100mV (the current threshold).
On the attached plots (coil drivers stage 1 and 2), the left hand side figure shows the state of the watchdogs. When The ISI WD goes from state 2 to 4, there are no outputs on the DAC. On the right, the figure presents the DAC output, the coil driver readbacks and the rogue excitation monitor threshold. You can also note the discrepancy between the DAC output and the coil driver voltage readback (inacurate calibration/ accuracy of the voltage monitor).
We should add a 3-second delay on the ST1_CD_Driven and ST2_CD_Driven channels in the ERRMON block of the isi2stagemastermodel. Same things for the HAM model.
Low X-mid instrument air indications over the weekend were due to this
Please save any open drafts you have before this time. Note you should not loose any pending entries. It is just good practice to save to a draft prior to this. The expected down time is on the order of seconds. I will post a comment when the software is restarted.
The webserver has been restarted.
Attached are plots of dust counts > .5 microns during yesterday and today.
We organized, cleaned up, & secured the ALS table this afternoon pending its move to the endstation. Still to do: put some tape over a few cable connections to keep the grit out, remove the HEPA pre-filter from the top, cover up the laser power supply with ameristat or something, cover up holes in panels and enclosures, etc etc. Should have a look again on Monday morning with a fresh set of eyes but I think everything is tied down and ready to go.
Balancing HAMISI #5 & Setting Locker Shims
(Corey, Jim)
Did our first run at balancing HAMISI #5. While doing this, we set the shims for the Lockers. These are the thicknesses of the shims we used:
Corners
Stage0 Helicoiling
Eric started helicoiling this plate.
Misc
Completed (1) Actuator (not able to continue due to missing Ag-plated hardware).
Completed assembly of (6) Position Sensor Targets.
Eric put shielding on HAMISI $5 Position Sensor cables
While Hugh & Co. were adjusting the ISI level we also went ahead an aligned the ETMy yaw. It started at 1.2 mrad CCW (top-down view) and we left it at 30 µrad CCW; spec for HEPI yaw adjustment is 0 ± 160 µrad. ETMy pitch is currently at 300 µrad down (desired pitch is 639 µrad down) so some adjustment there is necessary upon Travis's return next week.
Jason and I concluded the work with some level shots on the ISI Optical Table. We took three shots on the optical table and see a range of 0.4mm with the highest point being right at design elevation of 1661.7mm above chamber zero. This was shot with the HEPI floating and the ISI unlocked.
The attached files are pdfs of the latest round of H2 SUS ITMY M0/R0 transfer function measurements from the night of 2012-04-25. The first two files contain the same measurement on M0, the latter two for R0. The first file of M0 plots the data against a model for a fiber welded to a glass test mass. The second file plots the same data using a wire suspending a metal "dummy mass". The second two are for the R0 top mass with the first file plotting the data against the fiber weld to a "thincp", while the second file plots the data with a metal wire suspending a metal compensation plate ("cp"). Data and plots are in the SUS SVN under: '~/sus/trunk/QUAD/H2/ITMY/SAG*0/Data/' '~/sus/trunk/QUAD/H2/ITMY/SAG*0/Results/'
The data for the R0 top mass in the Transverse DoF (R0 "SD" OSEM only) had practically zero coherence with the drive signal. There is the possibility of either rubbing of the flag with the OSEM housing, or an earthquake stop is preventing free-swinging motion of the R0 top mass.
For the record, these are the things I know of that need to be done in the chamber before putting the door on: 0) Can someone please take FM TFS to see if rubbing is a problem there)? <--- Team SUS Testers 1) Investigate and fix any ITMy rubbing identified by TFs ran Wed night or last night (waiting for results) 2) Fix any FM rubbing. 3) Reweight ACB 4) Remove TFE stop brackets 5) Take picture - EQ stop scratch marks on ITMy for Giles 6) Remove FirstCOntact - get N2 bottle 7) Set EQ stops and lockdown all nuts 8) Set witness plates? 9) Lock down flooring 10) Remove all tools - including any ACB brackets that they might decide to put on...
While in the chamber with Calum and Kate on Thur, we played a bit with the reaction chain cabling. In hind sight, this was probably a bad idea since I possibly could have thrown the alignment of this chain out a little bit. (Kate is very concerned that we will have a future cable failure on the extension cable feeding the L2 OSEMs as this cable has a high failure rate and indeed was clamped a bit tight making it more susceptible to TFE flowing of it's shielding.) I kinda doubt that the alignment is out, but a trend of OSEMs signals would tell us the truth. During the IAS alignment last week I tried to manipulate the suspension alignment via adjusting the slack in these cables and could not get any gross results. So, that's good. Heads up for trouble shooting the reaction chain alignment if we ever need it...
Today, Betsy and I removed the First Contact from both the HR surface of the ITM and the back surface of the CP. We then cleaned off the remaining smudges of FC with acetone, so these surfaces are now exposed and in their cleanest state. I then did a final check of the EQ stops and locknuts. Note, we will need yet another set of TFs before putting the door on the chamber in order to vet this suspension's health since some stops were manipulated during these processes. Finally, I removed the TFE line stops from the main chain. Another note, we still need to set the top BOSEMs to their buoancy compensated values (Betsy forgot to put this in her checklist). I will carry out the final 3 or 4 steps of the closeout checklist tomorrow, and, after the TFs are taken and analyzed, the door should be ready to go back on.
We inspected several things. More pictures were taken than shown here, which are to be posted to resource space by Calum.
1. Washers that were stuck
There are four stainless washers used for TMS temporary restraint that were stuck to the aluminum bracket (see picture). I tried to lift them all gently, and they wouldn't move at all. Might be possible to ply it off using some tool, but we agreed it's not worth the risk of flipping and flying them to break wires.
2. A cable that is not connected
There was one cable that is not connected yet, and we identified it as the ring heater cable connecting CB-3 and the vacuum feed through (F3-3C2). This is going to be taken care of later.
One thing I noticed is that the floor order for this bracket is reversed. CB-3 first floor (closest to the ISC table) should be one of the ETMY SUS cables, and the second floor should be the ring heater according to D1101478, but in reality it was the opposite (see the second picture, the white-ish cable is for the ring heater).
It's easy to tell the difference because of the color, but I think it's still a good practice to install things as specified for future workers.
3. One of the TMS cables was brushing the HWS mirror
The cable sagged, apparently. We fixed this (see the third and the fource picture).
Boo. BSC6, not HAM6.
Note - When I assembled the cable connectors on those brackets, I fed back all of the changes I made to the layout guys (SYS). I am waiting for an update to the cable layout drawing based on these. The order of the "flooring" of the connectors in the bracket make more sense the way they are now, hence redlines to the drawing.
