HIFO Close-out-LVEA Update
There were a couple of items from the list to clear up this morning: torquing of bolts at HAM3 and check to see that all ports have some pump-down worthy covering. In addition, Kyle had a couple of items for the Apollo crew to attend to. I added those items to the bottom of the list. 

1.	Done-Remove Walking Plates from BSC 2 (Place in E-Mod Staging Cleanroom)
2.	Done-Replace dome on BSC2 (Check with SEI first: unlock ISI check cables)
3.	Done-Place hard cover on BSC2/HAM3 spool openings
4.	Done-Install curtains on HAM3 cleanroom
5.	Done-Move BSC cleanroom to beamtube by East Bay pipe bridge
6.	Done-Dis-assemble Work Platform (Place on floor by ?????)
7.	Done-Move HAM3 cleanroom north as far as possible
8.	Done-Close gaps in cleanroom to contain BSC2 spool area
9.	Done-Move SEI related electronics over center of spool area
10.	Done-Insert small spool piece
11.	Done-Insert large spool piece
12.	Done-Install HAM3 east door
13.	Done-Move cleanroom from pipe bridge area to HAM4-plug in-turn on
14.	Done-Call for HAM4 cleaning
15.	Done-Install HAM2/1 east doors
16.	Done-Install HAM 2/3 west doors
17.	Done-Install BSC1 viewports
18.	Done-Remove HAM4 north door
19.	Done-Install blank on septum plate between BSC2 and HAM4
20.	Done-Install HAM4 north door
21.	Done-Torque all bolts (except HAM1 and HAM4-4 bolts only)
22.	Done-Check for holes
23.     Done-Remove the "hinged" HAM4 bellows retraction tie-rods per Kyle
24.     Done-Remove, inspect and re-flange (using LIGO hardware) the 10" CFF blank that is in the 2 o-clock position on the MC tube-HAM3 adapter and which is labeled as "not leak tested" per Kyle

Configure network settings of HPI pump controller at EY
Configured HPI pump controller at EY for eventual connection to network.  It now appears as "h1hpipumpctrley" instead of "localhost", and it's IP address is set up for connection to the 10.105 VLAN.  The EPICS channel names still need to be changed in a similar fashion to the corner station controller.  This does allow a slightly modified laptop to be connected to it to view the MEDM screen at the controller, so the resource-hungry desktop manager doesn't have to be run on the controller.

Vincent and I left the controller running, with the system pressurized.

Viewports are good (Thomas, Sheila, Keita)

BSC2, IY adapter, HAM1, HAM2 and HAM3 have all viewports necessary for the full IFO.

BSC1 is good for HIFO but one viewport for CO2 laser should be installed in the future.


For video and illuminator viewports, no inspection was made except to confirm that something was installed.

For viewports that receive 1064nm and/or 532nm beam, we made a visual inspection to see the color of the surface, and all seemed to have some AR. No attempt was made to tell 1064/532 combo AR from so-called "high quality" optic (iLIGO 1064nm viewports?).

Thomas looked at oplev viewports and confirmed that they are the correct ones.


Following is a list of what is installed and what is not. Viewport numbers are based on https://dcc.ligo.org/T1000746.

BSC1 (IY): Illumination (G3), IY alternative video (G2), IY CP video (G11).

CO2 laser viewport (C0G5) is going to have to be installed in the future, but not this time.

BSC2 (BS): Oplev IN/OUT (G2), Video BS (G8), Illuminator (G9)

IY adapter A-1: Oplev IY OUT (VP1), IY Video (VP2), Oplev IY IN (VP4).

FTIMY-related viewports (VP3, 5B, 6) are not installed as we don't have H2.

HAM1: Video (A2F1) and Illuminator (A2F4) on the east door. IR PSL (A1F5), ALS green (A1F4) and POP/REFL (A1F3) on the west door.

HAM2: Faraday input video (A2F1), General video(A2F2), "IO trans mon & PRC MM mon beam" (A2F3), "IO trans mon & PRC MM mon beam" (A2F4), PRM video (A2F5) on the east door.

General video (A1F2), Illuminator (A1F1), MC1 Video (A1F3), MC REFL (A1F4), SM1 TRANS (A1F5) on the west door.

MC3 video (D7), Faraday output, SM1 and SM2 video (C1) and REFL parking (D8) on top.

It doesn't make sense that both A2F4 (left on the east door) and A2F3 (middle) are specified to use 1064/532nm combo viewport for the same purpose. There are two beams coming through SM2 (IM4) but both of them come out of A2F3.

A2F4 is valuable as a video viewport, so we can proceed with this configuration, but somebody needs to confirm my suspicion that VP800 is good enough for A2F3,  and then T1000746 should be updated.

HAM3: PR2 video (A2F3) on the east door. Illuminator (A1F3), MC2 Trans (A1F4) and MC2 Video (A1F5) on the west door.

WAMCA1 attachment by HAM2: PR2 Video (VP3), Oplev HAM3 in/out (VP7, not VP5 as specified by T1000746), Video MC2 (VP9).

WAMCB1 attachment by HAM3: MC3 video (VP3), Oplev HAM2 IN/OUT (VP5), Oplev PR3 IN (VP7), PRM Video (VP9), MC1 Video (VP10), Oplev PR3 out (VP11), PR3 Video (VP12).

Correction:

"It doesn't make sense that both A2F4 (left on the east door) and A2F3 (middle) are specified to use 1064/532nm combo viewport for the same purpose. There are two beams coming through SM2 (IM4) but both of them come out of A2F3.

The above should read:

PRM IOP Watchdog, DC component removed, AC monitoring only

WP3837. h1iopsush2a model was changed to replace the WD part monitoring the PRM suspension top OSEM with the AC_ONLY variant. This means that only an RMS perturbation to the PRM suspension will trigger a DACKILL event. All the other suspension OSEMS being monitored by this IOP model (PR3, MC1, MC3) continue to monitor both RMS and DC components. This change is required to permit the misalignment of PRM without a DACKILL being issued.

The user models were stopped, the iop model restarted, and then the user models started. It was noted that the burt restore of the safe.snap files for h1susmc1, h1susprm and h1suspr3 models gave errors.

To complete the change, the removed PRM epics channels were removed from the WD MEDM screens and h1iopsush2a's safe.snap.

A DAQ restart was performed to bring the EDCU up to date. Unfortunately the DAQ restart caused problems with the mx streams for the frontends h1susb123, h1susauxh34,h1seib1, which all required a restart of their streamers. As had been previously noted, these streamers restarts caused short term glitches in h1psl0's daq data stream.

Optic alignment differences between locked and unlocked very small:
I tracked alignment changes between locked and unlocked and changes in optic alignment are small. Largest change is IM1 that changed by -175 counts in pitch (I don't have a calibration for this channel).  All other optics are less than 100um, and most under 50um.  This supports my evaluation in January that locked vs unlocked changes to the optic alignments are small and easily fixed with small tweaks to their alignments.

The Department of Energy conducted seismic shear tests near LHO from April 6 to April 20th using a shaker truck. The last attachment is a google maps image from Robert showing the exact location of the shaker truck between 18:00 and 20:00 UTC on April 10. The first attachment is a spectrogram of H1:PEM-CS_SEIS_LVEA_VERTEX_Z_DQ over those same two hours. The injections were also visible in seismometers located at End-Y, Mid-X , and the vault, as shown in the other three attachments.

These spectrograms were made with ligodv-web https://ldvw.ligo.caltech.edu/viewer a web-based data viewer, using the default settings except 4 seconds per fft instead of 1 second.

HIFO Close-out-LVEA Update
After the HAM3 cleanroom was pushed as far north as possible, the curtains were modified to closely interface with BSC2 and provide clean space for the spool replacement. The small spool piece was inserted  and attached to the BSC2 flange. Next, the large spool piece was inserted and attached to the small spool piece. The large spool piece is very close to the HAM3 flange. Once the hard cover on the spool piece and the soft cover on HAM3 are removed, the bellows will be extended so that the spool is married to the chamber. I expect that all spool and appropriate flange bolts will be torqued before the Apollo crew leaves for the day. That gets us through #11 on the checklist.

ODC Summary Bits Enabled for all LHO Channels and Remaining ODC Work:
Each ODC channel has a Summary Bit that is used to indicate whether each system is in a nominally good operating state.  This bit is generated by checking that the necessary bits in the ODC channel are ON, as specified by the subsystem commissioners.  With the input from Jeff Kissel and Sebastien Biscans, we have set all of the EPICS variables needed to correctly populate the Summary bits for all active ODC channels in H1.  The EPICS variable Bitmasks are decimal numbers that correspond to a bitmask, where for each bit in the ODC channel that should be on when the system it is characterizing is in a good working state.  Here is an example:
H1:SUS-BS_ODC_COMBINE_ODC_BITMASK = 126
In binary, this is 0111 1110, which indicates that bits 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 should all be ON when the SUS-BS is operating nominally.  If you are curious what those bits mean, you can do the following:

controls@opsws1:~ 0$ caget H1:SUS-BS_ODC_BIT1
H1:SUS-BS_ODC_BIT1             Master Switch ON/OFF Status
controls@opsws1:~ 0$ caget H1:SUS-BS_ODC_BIT2
H1:SUS-BS_ODC_BIT2             DACKILL Status

These BITMASK EPICS records were set using scripts located in /ligo/home/ryan.fisher, and attached to this entry (with modified file extensions so the alog will post them).

With this completed, the EPICS description strings for the bits set and the MEDM screens reworked, we believe we have most of the active SUS and SEI subsystem ODC channels operational.  

The remaining systems for which ODCs need to be implemented under SUS and SEI are: the HAUX (HAM-Auxilliary) front ends and the HAM-ISI front ends.  The latter should be implemented with the next update from the cds_user_app svn (anticipated Mar 15).

We will be generating new safe.snap files specifically for the updated ODC EPICS settings for all models and sending them to CDS-announce for incorporation into the SVN and live systems.

Setting ODC EPICS Descriptive Bit Strings
Ryan Fisher, Stefan Ballmer

We have set the EPICS records for the labels that describe the ODC bits for the SUS and ISI models currently running in H1.*  The labels provide a short description of what every bit in each ODC channel represents, for each ODC channel.  The higher order bits in the ODC channels that do not have labels are currently unused, but may be used in the future.

These records were set using scripts located in /ligo/home/ryan.fisher, and attached to this entry.  

* Excluding H1:SUS-TMSY_ODC_BIT* for now.
