If the crew leaving EndY could ensure the SUS is damped and the HEPI watchdog is untripped, it would be much appreciated. ISI is locked and can be as is. Thanks, Hugh

This completed the need for forklift action at HAM5 for the time. The Mass was placed on six 1"x1"x1/16". Will continue payloading (lighter stuff.)

Jim, Mitchell The down facing optical table is now parked on the granite table anxiously awaiting Apollo on Monday. The up facing is on the assembly stand also ready for action. As for unit 2 the small and large horizontal actuators have been installed. Stage 1 doors prepped. Horizontal L4-C's have also been installed. Some of the blade bending fixtures have been added.
I redid the baffle PD alignment,
Baffle PD 1: 208.4P -234.0Y
Baffle PD4: 278.4P -297Y
Alinged 243.4P -265.5Y
Change from saved: +5 PIT +1 Yaw
PR3 (-245 PIT -250.3 Yaw) hasn't changed.

This morning while taking measurements on UIM ETMX, I saw all four L1 osems readback were zeros. Looking at the past data, signal stopped at ~10:51 am PT. Richard and I went to the end station, and saw that the UIM coil driver switch was mysteriously turned off... After turning it back on, sensing and actuating now work again.
Richard went back to the end station after lunch and found the hardware switch of the UIM driver turned off again, whereas nobody physically turned it off.
10:45 to 12:00 Hugh and Apollo using fork lift to add payload to HAM5.
No channel value changes are being recorded for the duration of the backup.
The good news is that the backup took only about 20 minutes. The bad news is that it took a lot longer to restart conlog. At startup, when it tried to add the last shutdown time to the database, it reported errors of the type: 'The total number of locks exceeds the lock table size' and quit. Adding 'innodb_buffer_pool_size=1G' to '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' and then restarting the computer seems to have fixed it, but I'm not sure what other implications this may have. I think I'm going to have to rethink how I record the shutdown times in the database.

Dave O I re-analyzed the data that was used to determine the PRC Length (see alog 9th March, 2014) to see whether it was possilbe to determine the losses in the PRC and hence the Schnupp Asymmetry. The results hint at the Schnupp Asymmetry being around 9.5 cm (See attached report). However the measurement will need to be re-done with the increased signal to noise that was obtained late last week to be certain.
A make install has been performed for h1sustmsy, h1iopsusauxh2, h1ascimc, and h1sustmsx to restore medm directories in /opt/rtcds/lho/h1/medm. These were not restored on Tuesday but should have been. They are not new missing directories. I verified this against the build log and the list of missing files to see they had not been restored with the other missing files.

WP 4517 The h1oaf0 computer was shut down to allow addition of a 5th ADC card for use by h1peml0. The h1iopoaf0 model was modified to add ADC4. Card assignments to the models will be ADC0, ADC1, ADC4 to be used for h1peml0, and ADC2, ADC3 will be used for h1tcscs. This allows the same ADC card assignments to be used at LHO and LLO for the tcscs model. A burtrb was done on h1tcscs before shutdown, it can be found in target/h1tcscs/h1tcscsepics/burt/h1tcscs_burt_140320_100830.snap The h1peml0 model was modified to move ADC2 to card_num=4.
07:30 to 08:15 Apollo craned the two HAM5 Doors in the LVEA
~0900 -> Increased from ~5 psi to ~15 psi -> no change in slope of Y1 accumulation ~1045 -> Increased from ~15 psi to ~25 psi -> no change in slope of Y1 accumulation (historically GV6 won't "cam over" or hard-close until much higher closing pressures are applied. We would like to ensure that its gate is fully contacting its O-rings so as to eliminate hydrogen pumping from the adjacent vacuum volume for a, at least, a portion of our Y1 accumulation data collecting)

GREEN Beam Alignment & Power Measurements
Continued with alignment work from yesterday. So, yesterday we had the green beam coming form the table into the chamber, centered on the QPDS, retroreflecting off the ETM, and heading back toward the table, but hitting the bottom periscope mirror under the TMS table. So, first thing we did was pitch the TMS "up" (slid pitch masses back). We adjusted a few BOSEMs after this pitch move. Once we had pitch good, we roughly made it back out of the chamber through the viewport...but to do this we had to steer the TMS in yaw. So we were off a little in yaw, but able to get back outside on the table with yaw bias. But because we didn't want to use up all of our range, we were going to have to PUSH the entire TMS Assembly...we broke for lunch at this point to find out where the tools were.
Oh, should mention that we measured the green power as it (1) enters the TMS, and then the (2) reflected & (3) transmitted light of the BS which sends light to the Green QPD Sled....unfortunately, I wrote these values on the cds laptop. So will post powers later.
Push In Yaw (& more Pitch) & Dropped Bolt
Set up to yaw the entire assembly counterclockwise (as seen from above the BSC chamber)...or basically a Right Handed Turn. Now, the real estate is pretty tight upstairs. while trying to install a teflon-tipped dog clamp on the rear-end of the TMS, I dropped a 3/8" bolt. Luckily it didn't hit anything on the TMS, but I believe it went down underneath the temporary flooring. Continue with setting up the pushers. Once we were ready, we had the green beam & a damped TMS. I then pushed the assy in yaw while Keita watched the beam. This worked out well, and we fixed yaw. I believed another BOSEM adjustment was made here...perhaps we did another pitch adjustment here (we did a few of them through the day).
BS for Hartman Path Missing
Realized we were missing an optic on the in-air table (BS to pick off for the Hartman path). Aiden says this optic is on its way. Anyway, we'll have to install that later (it'll change alignment, but we'll use irises to maintain alignment).
IR Path Work Begins: Pointing Out IR Viewport & Beam Diverter Work
The green beam is also used to align the IR path. We steered out this beam by steering the "entry" mirror for the IR path on the TMS table. After this was done, Keita looked at the path for the Beam Diverter and steered the beam to the High Power Beam Dump.
Next: IR Path to QPDs
Tomorrow, we'll continue with IR path (via green beam), and get the beam onto the IR QPD sled ("this is the trickiest job" says Keita....he says if it goes well, we might be able to finish this job Thurs, but it may carry over to Fri. We shall see.)
(whoops...looks like Keita and I were thinking the same and like to make late night alogs). Sorry for the redundancy.
Round Of Rubbing Prevention (forgot to mention for Wednesday's work)
Keita inspected/backed off EQ Stops for the TMS Upper Mass to help reduce the chance of rubbing due to them.
He also adjusted the clamping of the bunch of cables between the top of the Upper Mass to the BSC Optics Table (this run previously was fairly tight).
Has the analog whitening settings changed on the ETMX optical lever? I've compared a high-frequency spectrum with a measurement I took in February, and there's reported tons more motion above 2 [Hz], when the ISI motion is roughly equivalent if not better at these frequencies (see attached). Looks there's an extra 1:10 analog filter that's not being compensated or something...
Looking at a previous OPLEV spectra that was made in February on ETMX ITMX and ITMY (calibrated in urad/sqrtHz), it looks like the signal amplitude @ 10Hz (on the three of them) was similar to what you have on your red curve (~0.1 nrad/sqrtHz). Maybe the green trace (reference) was taken with a digital compensation filter engaged, but no analog whitenning ?
Refer to ALOG-10267 for the changes in whitening settings on Feb 21st 2014. This accounts for the two orders of magnitude difference you see above 10 Hz.
Installed Trillium Interface Chassis S1101837 in Rack SEI-C1 (slot U18). Trillium was placed close to southwest side of BSC9. Outputs from Trillium were connected to AA Chassis U30, CH21-26 (Port 5). Trillium may need to be zero-ed. Filiberto Clara
The serial number of this T240 is 000531. Also, for information about calibration and cabling layout, checkout LHO aLOG 10635.
As of 6:30 PM, HEPI watchdog is untripped and SUS is damping. She's all yours.
