[Alexa, Kiwamu]
Since the main laser got back running (alog 6551) we attempted to resume the WFS commissioning this evening.
However in the middle of acquiring the lock of IMC the reference cavity lost its lock and never came back again. It seems that the reference cavity got misaligned a lot so that the autolocker is unable to capture 00 mode. In fact it tries to capture the 01 mode instead. The alignment needs to be fixed.
MC1 and MC3 alignment biases:
We found that the MC1 and MC3 alignment biases had changed due to the restarting of the realtime model (alog 6531) yesterday. We brought the M1 alignment biases back to where they used to be before the restart. This recovered the alignment and we got IMC flashing. Besides, we found that the damping loops on MC1 wasn't enabled and we turned them ON to get a stable alignment.
WFS-B position shifted:
In order to have two WFSs afar from the beam waist by a Gouy phase 0f 45 degrees, WFS-B needed to be at 709.7 mm from the lens L3. According to Cheryl (alog 6521) WFS-B was at 679 mm and hence needed to come further by 30.7 mm to get the right Gupy phase. At first we double-checked Cheryl's optical path length measurement and our measurement agreed with hers. So we simply shifted WFS-B toward the north so as to increase the distance by 30.7 mm. I believe that the precision of these positions is about a few mm.

We were able to get the diode chiller back online with the new flow meter that arrived from technotrans. However, the flow was now over the threshold of 30 lpm. After talking with Ollie, we decided to increase the threshold to 32 lpm and the diode chiller was able to run continuously. The flow on the table measured by the uncalibrated channel H1:PSL-MIS_FLOW_OUTPUT was reading the same as before the chiller shut off, so it may be a calibration issue with the new flow meter.
While waiting for the new part to arrive, I thought it would be a good idea to work on the chiller hoses and connections. When the first chiller broke, I quickly set up the spare chiller with shorter hoses and plastic fittings thinking it would be a temporary fix. Today we were able to swap out the parts with longer hoses and stainless steel fittings (what it really should be) on both chillers. However, the crystal chiller shut off due to low flow through the amplifier and powermeters, and soon after the powermeter flow sensor went dead. Kiwamu and I went inside the H1 PSL to look at the manifold under the table, and managed to get the sensor back through some combination of hitting it to loosen particles, letting water flow through the return path into a bucket, and pulling apart the outer shell of the sensor. I really don't know how we got it to work, but it's working again, and we then were able to turn the laser on.
In order to clear the floor space underneath the cleanroom at the EX spool site (for eventual PCAL and CPB installs), I disconnected PEM components there. The tiltmeter and Guralp seismometer were disconnected, cables labeled, and instruments stored temporarily on the EX termination slab. They reside under their insulating styrofoam coolers. Additionally, the busy mouse latrine that is the tiltmeter granite slab was cleaned with alcohol wipes.
Redoing the damped TFs on X1 with new damping filters and gains per LHO alog 6548.
Measurements had completed when checked at 8:40 am. However Betsy mentioned that the HEPA fan had been turned back on, so there may be some excess noise - plots pending.

The damped TF data had much more sensible peakiness but it was pretty noisy and there were major dropouts in R0 L and T, so I got Betsy to turn the fan back off and I'll rerun them.
Oops - commented on wrong alog.
* I created a symlink release->trunk in /opt/rtcds/userapps so that various other redirections could look the same on H1 vs. X1.
* I copy'n'pasted Jeff K's optimized damping filter definitions from H1:ITMY (where they had been installed by Arnaud), altering names as appropriate.
* I entered the gains from design_damping_QUAD_20130501.m and checked that I got stable damping.
* I used the save_safe_snap.m script to make a new /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/x1/burtfiles/x1susquad_safe.snap and checked that it was linked to from /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/x1susquad/x1susquadepics/burt . I committed the new safe.snap.
DCS (LDAS) has started saving all the H1 raw full-frame data from the DAQ (CDS) filesystems to its archive filesystem,

starting from 1053900000 GPS == May 29 2013 14:59:44 PDT == May 29 2013 21:59:44 UTC. We will continue to do this until HIFOY ends.
We also continue to save the minute-trends, second-trends, and PEM channels under:
/archive/frames/trend/minute-trend/H1/
/archive/frames/trend/second-trend/H1/

All the above types of data are archived and available at LHO and CIT.
Biggest thing - Y arm is open! - Kyle to EY to burp GV18, now GV17 and GV18 are green Other activities: - crane inspectors here - DHA Assoc. - reboots to ITMY and BS front end - found dead this morning - Patrick to EX- dust monitor at EX attempted but yet to work - Pablo to H2 enclosure for pcal work - Shiela to EY for HIFO - MichaelR to the PSL enclosure to install a new flow sensor and restart laser - currently laser is off In process: - Mike Landry currently visiting EX
Leaving GV6 soft-closed until tomorrow
This plot shows the opening of GV18 at the Y END station. The RED shows the pressure falling after the transition to the large ion pump, the spike up is the valve opening.
Green is the pressure in the 80K pump.
Jax, sheila The power out of the green laser has dropped to around 9mW, (12mW after adjusting the temperature and diode current), while there were 42.5mW a few weeks ago . Jax and I tried restoring the laser to these settings and saw that there were only 9mW coming out of the laser. (jax has now set the crystal temp back to 32.8C, the way we found it) The IR power out of the laser seems to explain the drop. Using the values from this alog , if nothing other than the IR power had changed we would have (22.9/(1125)^2)*(800^2)=11.6mW of green. On the reflected PD, we only measured 10uW, I am not sure if there have been some changes to the table layout that have reduced that power even further. I originally went to the end station to calibrate the green laser power PD, it is a PDA100A (transimpedance 1.5x10^4 Ohm on the 20dB gain setting), the responsivity I measured after realigning it was 0.687A/W. The PD is on one of the beams rejected by the faraday, there are 197uW on the PD when there are 12mW transmitted by the Faraday so the splitter ratio for this PD is 1.6%. Since there is only 10uW on the LSC PD, I couldn't calibrate it.
The Apollo crew took the cleaned FFUs down to X End this morning. A hard cover was installed on the beamtube at the spool opening. The BSC cleanroom was moved from the spool area over BSC5 to allow as much space as possible for getting the CPB CR ceiling grid into the VEA. The Test Stand was craned out of the roll up door area to the far side of the beamtube. The Test Stand, Work Space and one Garbing/Staging cleanroom were nested into the corner between BSC5 and the emergency exit. With the space cleared, the CPB CR ceiling grid was moved into the VEA. The grid was attached to the crane so that it could stand vertically in the available space for cleaning. Cris and Karen completed two cleanings of the grid. Ken worked on electrical supply for the CPB CR, which runs on 277 volts. The first load of items that need to be transported from the LVEA to X End was hauled down and a second load list prepared.
I tried to install another dust monitor at end X to be placed inside the receiving bay. I connected two 25 ft. DB9 serial cables together and connected the dust monitor labelled 'U' to the unused port on one of the break out boxes. The other port is used by the dust monitor at location 1. However, this caused both dust monitors to return garbage characters. I tried turning off and disconnecting the serial line (at the breakout box) for the dust monitor at location 1, but the new dust monitor continued to return garbage. I removed the new dust monitor and reconnected the one at location 1, but moved it so it could be easily placed on the other side of the roll up door and inside the receiving bay. This is back to the original configuration and communicating correctly. I had to restart the IOC for the dust monitors at end Y, after the Comtrol serial to Ethernet box momentarily lost power.
Also restarted the IOC for the end Y weather station due to the same reason as the end Y dust monitors.
END Y pumpdown - 40 days shown Main Turbo only.
Shown are two pressure gauges on the vertex volume in the LVEA. 20 days are plotted.
The steps down in pressure are due to the addition of main ion pumps and finally the addition of the YARM 80K pump. There appears to be little or no slope so we are suspecting a leak somewhere. Once the H1 laser is restored to operation we will proceed to opening the LVEA and the Yend to the tube. Leak checking will proceed in parallel as we do not want to leak into the tube for an extended period of time.
The pressure in the 80k pump(CP1) is currently 3e-8 torr - this is representative of what the tube will be exposed to. Tradionally we have been closer to 1e-8 when we open to the tube.
The orientation of the QPD for PR3 is: | 4 | 1 | | |---+---| | +PITCH <--- +YAW | 2 | 3 | v This is different than the test mass optical levers because mechanical interferences do not allow us to mount the QPD in a consistent orientation. The OL2EUL matrix is set up to reflect the SUS convention for pitch and yaw as shown above. I took measurements two separate ways in order to map out the linear response of this optical lever: 1) The first was the standard usage of the micrometer on the stepper-motor which the QPD is mounted to and I was able to correlate the pitch and yaw signal on the QPD to what we would see in the tilt of the optic. 2) The second method is the use of the actuators and OSEMS on the suspension and correlate the readings on the QPD and the readings on the OSEMS. PR3 is one of the few optics which allow us to make this measurement since there are OSEMS on the bottom stage that directly measure the main optic. Graphs are attached to show the results: Micrometer_measurements: slope_p = 38.86 slope_y = 38.53 OSEM_measurements: slope_p = 33.29 slope_y = 31.64 Comparing the two: Pitch: 100*(38.86 - 33.29)/38.83 = 14.345% Yaw: 100*(38.53 - 31.64)/38.53 = 17.882% Although both of these methods yield similar results, I'm not sure what uncertainties would be found in exploring the shadow sensors and the actuators. Calculating the uncertainties explicitly with the manufacturer's tolerance and estimating the lever arm uncertainty, I get the uncertainty of using the micrometer to measure angular displacment at 2.5%. Note: PR3's optical lever receiver is almost directly above the transmitter (zeemax says it's 89.99 degrees from the horizontal line); this could explain why measurements in pitch agree much better than yaw. All in all I have added the gain to the MEDMs: - H1SUS-PR3_M3_OPLEV_PITCH_GAIN = 38.86 - H1SUS-PR3_M3_OPLEV_YAW_GAIN = 38.53 All measurements were done with HEPI locked and the ISI damping with the ST1 DAMP loops. Suspension damping was also turned on at the top M1 stage, for the actuation to get the OSEM measurements, I used the top mass actuators as well. As a bonus treat, I've attached a calibrated spectra of the optical levers and the OSEMS.
Starting another set of M0/R0 TFs on ETMx, this time with the new M0F1 OSEM and with damped TFs as well.
Checked at 8:40 am: undamped TFs done, damped TFs just started - will be going the rest of the day.
TFs done by 5:48 pm

Plots pending.
Plots are attached. All the undamped plots look good, with the usual caveat that some of the R0 pitch frequencies are high due to the cabling. The damping on pitch is a bit high - we need to update the filters to correspond to H1. I'll do spectra next, and then revisit filters and damped TFs as time permits.
Here are spectra. I had to modify the plotquad_spectra.m script to support X1 - I hope I didn't break anything for X2. The Euler basis signals on X1 have different names (H1:SUS-ETMY_L1_DAMP_L_INMON etc vs. X1:SUS-QUAD_L1_WIT_LMON etc) and aren't logged to the DAQ, so I changed the names and commented them out. There are currently no OSEMs plugged in at the lower levels, so that will do for now.
The attached shows our WFS location strategy. Since the horizontal and vertical profiles are slightly different we wanted to place WFS-A at (347.4 + 407.2) / 2 and WFS-B at (708.8 + 710.6) / 2. Because WFS-A was already in a good place, we simply shifted WFS-B which had been at 679 mm. The plot is essentially the same as the one Chris posted before (alog 6439), but since there was a minor mistake in the Gouy phase plot, I put the corrected version here.
