BSC2 flooring was moved into the LVEA. The crew went into HAM4 and removed the dust barriers. BSC2 flooring was installed. (There was a slight delay caused by a missing nut.) The doors will go back on this afternoon.
h2susb78 remains unstable. It crashed between 2am and 3am this morning. It was removed from the watchdog system yesterday, and did not trip SEI BSC8 this time. I will power cycle it, and it should not crash SUS ITMY since it is no longer part of the Dolphin fabric.
We relocated one of the two Qlogic fiber channel switches from the H2 EE building (where it was part of a redundant CDS-LDAS network) to its new location in the MSR. It will connect the new H1 DAQ to LDAS, allowing the publishing of H1 frames and distribution of H1 data via the NDS2 server. Dan is setting up the QFS solaris machine for h1fw0 (we currently only have h1fw1 operational). Jim is building up h1fw0 from its cloned state.
While h2susb78 remains unstable, FMY has been removed from the IOP watchdog system. This required a code change with the h2iopseib8 model to disconnect the FMY signal from the IOP SEI BSC8 DACKILL part. All the models on h2seib8 were then restarted which included a new ISI model which also had FMY removed from its watchdog. The frozen h2susb78 was powered down and its Dolphin IPC cable was disconnected before it was powered back. This will ensure that any possible future crashes and subsequent power cycles will not stop the ITMY model.
There was an operator error this afternoon around 18:44 PST where a script being tested for damping was inadvertently started on the ETMY SUS. The script was meant to switch off inputs to the damping filters but caused the user model and IOP watchdogs to trip. The ISI DAC output has been interrupted, but a SUS ETMY measurement is slated to begin tonight.
Attached are plots of dust counts > .5 microns. The dust monitor at location 15 in the LVEA has been turned off.
The day's main activities: End-Y BSC 6 dome cover and door installation. DAQ reboots by CDS Simulink model reboots on the BSC 8 chamber models (FMY, ITMY, SEI) by CDS Removal of FMY from the IOP watchdog monitors
Due to recurrent crashes of h2susb78, the connection between the FMY watchdogs and the ISI watchdogs is temporary bypassed. This connection will be reestablished as soon as h2susb78 is stable.

The optical lever photodiode signals were added to the H2 SUS ITMY Simulink model ('h2susitmy.mdl') at the "L3" stage. The signals are routed to the second ADC on 'h2susb478', which is labeled "ADC_1" in the Simulink model. The "h2susitmy.mdl" file was modified to incorporate the four quadrant signals from the ITMY Optical Lever photodiode into the "QUAD_MASTER.mdl" library part.
In the 'h2susitmy.mdl' file, the four quadrant signals are on the ADC_1 channels:
UL = ADC_1_1
UR = ADC_1_3
LL = ADC_1_2
LR = ADC_1_4
NOTE: this configuration will hold true for the One Arm Test and does NOT reflect the latest H2 SUS ITM, BS, FM wiring diagram, D1001725-v10.
-------
In addition to the above changes to the "custom" top level Simulink model ('h2susitmy'), the "QUAD_MASTER.mdl" generic library part was modified for several bug fixes. Inside the 'QUAD_MASTER' diagram, the editing was performed mainly at the 'QUAD_MASTER/QUAD/L3/OPLEVWIT/' level. Initially, SUM, Pitch, and Yaw outputs were test points without filter modules. However, this prevented the DAQ from accepting these channels and writing them to frames, unbeknowst to CDS. These library parts were replaced with actual filter modules instead of test points. This resolved the ability to write these channels to frames.
The Optical Lever photodiode channels being written to frames are:
H2:SUS-ITMY_L3_OPLEVWIT_P_OUT
H2:SUS-ITMY_L3_OPLEVWIT_Y_OUT
H2:SUS-ITMY_L3_OPLEVWIT_SUM_OUT
The 'h2susitmy' model has now been recompiled and installed on 'h2susb478'.
In addition to the above changes to the Simulink model, there were two other modifications. The inter-computer communication library part (PCI) was removed, because the Optical Lever signals are now fed directly to the H2 SUS ITMY machine 'h2susb478'. Secondly, the input for the Laser Power monitor was grounded. Currently, the laser power is not directly fed to the ADC on 'h2susb478'.
The "short" cleanroom was moved from BSC8 to BSC1. Terry S. and crew will do first cleaning tomorrow.
In HAM4, the hand-brushing around the fins and first vacuum were completed this morning. This afternoon, wipe down and second vacuum were completed. Inspection should be completed by the end of the day. Flooring for BSC2 was brought from the VPW to the LEA. It will be installed after the dust barrier is removed from between BSC2 and HAM4. That activity should take place early tomorrow and then the door can be returned to HAM4.
- Cheryl, Travis The ring heater in BSC6 was installed on the quad with the correct screws, but with nuts instead of the nut blocks SUS made for the installation. This caused an issue when trying to close the RH around the ETM because one screw would not loosen, so would not allow one end of the lower segment of the RH to close. The solution was to modify a wrench, to maneuver between the main and reaction chains, to hold the nut while adjusting the screw and moving the RH into place. The modified wrench worked well, and allowed us to loosen and tighten the screws as needed to set the alignment of the RH. The upper RH segment is aligned to the scribe marks, and the lower RH segment is aligned to the upper segment. Uncharacteristically, I did not bring a camera, so there are no pictures of the screws and scribe lines on the upper segment. One of the flathead screws was loose on the upper RH segment. This is odd, and a little disturbing, because we had this issue before installation on the quad, and chalked it up to an oversight, then made doubly sure all the flat head screws were installed correctly. That means that either we (me, GregG, ThomasV, back in December 2011) missed one again, OR the screw is somehow backing itself out. I tightened the flathead screw, and the feel of the screw was comparable to the feel of the screw when I assembled the RH, so all indications are that Macor threads holding the flathead screw are OK. A picture of the exact screw I worked on, before it was tightened, and before the RH was closed, is attached.
h2susb78 (SUS FMY) crashed for the third time last night at 20 mins to midnight (so it is unlikely to be human activity). We are working on taking FMY out of the IOP and model DACKILL watchdogs for SEI BSC8 until we can fix this stability problem.
J. Garcia, S. Steplewski We made a set of TOP transfer function measurements on ITMY Tuesday. This was the first time we tested ITMY since this chamber was pumped down. Measurements were clean and the results match up reasonably well with the (fiber) model - although this is a wire rehang after the fiber break. The .mat files are located in: ~/SusSVN/trunk/QUAD/H2/ITMY/SAGM0/Data/ ~/SusSVN/trunk/QUAD/H2/ITMY/SAGR0/Data/ The .pdf files are located in: ~/SusSVN/trunk/QUAD/H2/ITMY/SAGM0/Results ~/SusSVN/trunk/QUAD/H2/ITMY/SAGR0/Results
Attached is another plot that shows the ITMY TOP transfer function taken In-Vacuum compared to that taken In-Air. Aslo plotted are the wire (for M0) and thincp (for R0) models for reference.
Mark Barton, Szymon Steplewski We changed the parameters in the Mathematica model for the QUAD suspension for ITMY to reflect the fact that the glass test mass is suspended from steel wires after the fiber break. These changes have resulted in noticeably better agreement between the measurements and model for several degrees of freedom. The TOP Pitch to Pitch mode around 1.4 Hz has shifted to higher frequency (from about 1.31 Hz to 1.44 Hz), while the Pitch mode near 0.56 Hz is practically unchanged, which is where we want it according to the design requirements. The TOP Longitudinal to Longitudinal plot also shows some nice improvement in the mode around ~1.5 Hz, which matches up a little more with the "wirerehang" model now. There is now a new wirerehang Mathematica model in the SUS SVN under ~/trunk/Common/MathematicaModels/QuadLite2Lateral/mark.barton/20120601TMproductionTMrehang/ which was built from elements of the fiber model under ~/trunk/Common/MathematicaModels/QuadLite2Lateral/mark.barton/20120601TMproductionTM/ We have added 'wirerehang' to the list of case models for plotting in Matlab, so the different cases are now: 1. 'wire' 2. 'fiber' 3. 'erm' 4. 'thincp' 5. 'wirerehang'

This afternoon:
We found 4 bright beams coming out of the viewport, two pairs belonging to ETMY and the other two from ERM. The two upper spots on the picture are from the ERM, the lower ones from ETMY. This was confirmed by moving the ERM, when doing so the two upper spots moved, while the other two remain still. The beam from the front surface of ETMY is the lowest spot on the photo.
Attached are plots of dust counts > .5 microns.
