WHAM2 ISI ***Locked***
Apollo got the doors off HAM2 and I followed with locking the ISI--no difficulties.
I took a few photos, mainly focused on the cabling coming off Stage0 to the electrical feedthrus.  Lot's of work to do in this department; the NW corner is pretty good but the others, not so much.  The last image is from the East (right) side and shows the PR mirror's dummy masses that will need to be removed.

Minor configuration changes on h1hpipumpl0
Minor administrative changes to hpi pump controller h1hpipumpctrll0, configured resolv.conf to allow other computers on network to be found by name, and started the ntp daemon to keep the time up to date.  Time was reset to current time (it was off by a few minutes).

Friday morning alarms in CR

There were no unacknowledged alarms ringing this morning.  Channels that were in alarm status were the following:

After a restart of the alarm handler, the two CPU-MAX alarms and the two IOP-SUS_B123 alarms returned (yellow).

h1pemmx was restarted twice on Thursday

late entry

As part of WP3715 I added a DAC output part to h1pemmx and restarted the model. This removed the "DAC not in use" flag but added in the "18bit DAC does not have an AI chassis connected" flag. Since the DAQ status went to 0x2000 (ini file change) I reverted the model back to the original for now rather than restart the DAQ. We will install the AI chassis for the PEM to green-up these systems.

PR3 - unfortunate discovery means that AOSEM brackets need to be swapped

Not a show stopper, but darn unfortunate for a variety of reasons.  After installing the glass PR3, I noted that you cannot easily adjust the middle mass AOSEM  positions.  After a call to LLO to confer, I discovered that they reworked the brackets just before installation of their PR3!  Fortunately they made 1 set extra, so it was overnighted our way.  The unfortunate part is that I need to remove 8 silver plated screws from the awkward position on the inside of the cage over the optic, rework the bracket assemblies, and then reinstall them.  The attached picture shows the "old" brackets - a circle indicates the captured adjutment screw.

WHAM1 HEPI L4Cs All Leveled--HEPIs ***Locked***
Go the Last two Corners Leveled today with help from Mitchell and Ed.  I'll report tomorrow on position changes.  HAM1 HEPI has now been relocked.  I also spent a lot of time securing the electronics cabling.  After one round of cleaning and bolt loosening, I found several of the L4C cables unplugged.  They had not been secured, my fault, so I dressed and secured them much better than they had been.

PR2 MC2 Power Spectra
Attached PR2 and MC2 power spectra for a safety check. Ran after some installation work on HAM2, where the ISI table have been incidentally moved and the optics might have touched the earthquake stops.

Ops summary
Richard fixed a short on the HEPI pump controller.
The fire department was testing smoke detectors in the OSB and at end X. Dust counts in the optics labs were elevated as a result of tests in these rooms.
Hugh worked on HEPI L4C leveling at HAM1.
Dale took a group of college students from WSU on a tour, including into the LVEA.
Apollo removed the rigid section of spool BE-3A. Hugo took pictures of HAM3 from the north side.
Michael R. tested turning of an AC unit in the H1 PSL enclosure.
Greg worked at HAM5.

Temperature test

I did a quick temperature test of the PSL room today, shutting off one AC unit (ACN) and seeing if the other unit could hold the temperature of the room steady. It could not. I turned the other unit back on after about an hour and the room temperature as returned to normal. The spike in the attached plot shows the temperature excursion.

Apollo crew
We removed the rigid section of spool BE-3A and placed hard covers on each end and placed on pallets. We laid both of these sections down for safe storage. Hard covers were placed on the flanges of bsc 2 and ham 3 as well. We loosened all of the door bolts on ham 2 after a 1st cleaning and plan on removing those doors tomorrow.

HAM3 Picture Survey

We pulled the soft cover off the North side of HAM3, and took a series of pictues in the chamber. 

These pictures will be used to asses the state of the ISI payload when we measured the ISI transfer functions for the Viton Pads Efficiency Investigation.

Cheryl, Hugo,

The attached .pdf file shows what was installed on HAM3-ISI as of yesterday, which is the configuration we ran the IMC test under. All the small optics mentionend in the top-level drawing are installed here

PR3 Phase 2b Power Spectra
Attached phase 2b power spectra for PR3.
The two first pdfs show a comparison of the power spectra between L1-PR3 (June 2012),X1-PR3 (June 2012) and H1-PR3 (Feb 2013) respectively damping off and damping on.
The three others show the effect of damping for the top, middle and lower masses of PR3

New power spectra will be taken tomorrow since Betsy has to change some of the OSEMs.

New power spectra have been taken after Betsy changed the "unfortunates brackets"
The attached plots show comparison between H1 PR3 (Feb 15th 2013 after changing the brackets) H1 PR3(Feb 14th 2013 before changing the brackets) X1 PR3 (June 2012) and L1 PR3 (June 2012)


**Looking at M2 and M3 Pitch from ALL_Spectra_Doff, some peaks appear to be shifted from the other curves. (~1Hz --> ~1.2Hz and ~3Hz --> ~3.2Hz)


Will run power spectra overnight and will compare it tomorrow

BSTST open light

Betsy wanted to set the M2 OSEMs on the beamsplitter so we logged the open light voltages and calculated the gains and offsets.

We had probably set these before since these numbers were very close to the ones found in the medm.  Nonetheless, we updated the medm fields with these numbers and then set the AOSEMs to 50% OLV.  Mark and Arnaud have been obtaining spectra for PR3 and PRM, one of the last measurements to conclude Phase 2b testing.

Plots finally - all good. This is a pass for Phase 2b TFs. Phase 2b spectra were waiting on some adjustments to the M3 OSEMs per alog 5499 (since fixed) and will be taken soon.
