h2nds0 restarted
Medm overview showed white fields for h2nds0.

Found daqd process on h2nds0 had problems - last log message indicated "couldn't create interpreter thread; pthread_create() err=11" and "connection dropped on port 38943 from ; fd=17"

Two nds processes were running, one with an uninterruptible sleep state.  

Then the processes disappeared.

Restarted nds and daqd processes.

H1 MC1 optic hung in suspension

Betsy, Travis

This afternoon, we swapped the metal MC1 dummy mass out and replaced it with the IMCF09 mode cleaner flat optic.  Using the auto optical lever to look at the prisms on each side, we set the roll of the mass to within ~0.1mm.  We then noticed a small pitch error by eye which we corrected for using the top mass sliding pitch mass.  This brought the 6 top BOSEMs back into range, as set during the build phase across the street.  We'll continue to tally and align all 6 DOF errors tomorrow.

HAM3-ISI - New medm screens for payload (SUS) monitoring

JimB, DaveB, HugoP,

HAM3-ISI used to have temporary medm screens for payload state monitoring. We rebuilt the HAM3-ISI model with a call for the create_hamisi_payload post-build script. This script automatically creates unit-specific medm screens for payload state monitoring. The call for create_hamisi_payload was set in the block properties of the HAM3_PAYLOAD block, in the simulink model of HAM3-ISI (see attachement #1).

We did the same for HAM2-ISI.

make install would then return an error due to issues with CDS. These issues were corrected.

I updated the HAM-ISI overview screen so it automatically points to the new payload screens. The unit-specific payload monitoring screens now work for both HAM2-ISI and HAM3-ISI (see attachement #2)

Alarms changed

I removed the shutter alarms from the PSL alarm configuration file and added alarms for the power watchdogs on the amplifier and oscillator.

WHAM2 HEPI Actuator attachment ~3/4 complete
We almost have the 6th of eight Actuators in place.  We had to make a few mods to brackets given the large translation East for this platform.  These last attachments should finish mid-morning.

Updated the userapps-user-env scripts on h1, then modified perl environment setup scripts to correct errors of looking in the wrong directory.  This was done to support post build scripts.

Changed "Step" settings on IP11 and IP9
Noticed IP11 and IP9 were still outputting 5000V even though their surrounding pressures were < 1 x 10-8 torr -> Made slight corrective adjustments to the pump current values at which point these pumps switch from 5000V to 3000V outputs.  As found, they were programmed to change at pump currents of 5 x 10-5 amps.  This value of current corresponds to a pressure which is lower than 1 x 10-8 torr which is the point they should be switching to result in the most efficient pump speed.  The new value is 1.5 x 10-4 amps.

Restarted all models on h1seih23, h1sush2a, and h1sush34 to clear timing issues for the IOP models and to restart dead models.  Appears as if the dolphin network got glitched due to front-end computer restarting without being disconnected.

HAM3-ISI - Level

Hugh, Jim, Hugo,

We measured the level of stage 1 this morning. Results are attached. Stage1 appeared tilted by ~170 µrad. This result is beyond the 100 µrad of the acceptance criteria used during the assembly-validation phase.

We recently changed the shim thickness on locker D. In order to make sure that it is not the cause of the mis-levelling, we measured the level on stage1, just above the locker D when the ISI is locked, and compared it to the same measurement when only the locker D is unlocked. The shift in level is less than 1mil. Hence, the adjustement we made on locker D is not the cause of the mis-levelling we observed.

Changing the shim of locker D is the only serious mechanical modification we made on HAM3-ISI after the suspensions (MC2 and PR2) were approved. We then conclude that the suspensions were tested under the current configuration without being affected by it in a noticeable manner.

We measured the level of stage 0 around the lockers. We did not detect such a mis-levelling there (see attachement).

The assembly validation testing is performed with a ~600lbs pounds on top of the ISI. The mass distribution is very different now that the ISI is loaded with suspensions, optics, and 10kg masses. We currently suppose the new mass repartition would have affected the flatness of the optical table, and thus the level measurement which is performed along its edges.

Release EQ Stops on MC2 & PR2

  Jeff B & G2

  We released the Intermediate Mass EQ stops on MC2 and PR2, so Seismic can continue testing the HAM-3. All masses on both suspensions are now free.

WHAM1 HEPI Dial Indicators Removed--Moved to HAM2
And with that HAM2 is ready for HEPI Actuator Attachment.  After the Dial Indicator installation, the HEPI was unlocked, very little motion was measured with the DIs.  I did Caging Brace/F-Clamp adjustments and will commence actual Actuator attachment tomorrow.
HAM1 HEPI was locked before ISC installs Thursday and remains locked.

Please be mindful of the DIs on the HAM2 Support Tube Ends.

Mitchell & I completed the loading of the Optical Table with the Trim Mass & Damping Assemblies D1003161 as per D1001989.  I believe that puts that 'Cartridge' back in SUS/IAS hands.

MC1 Bottom Stage
Looked at MC1 (Bottom stage) UL channel, which showed low counts ~9000 compared to the expected 24,000 counts. Traced problem to IO Chassis (h1sush2a). Replaced ADC card SN110201-04 with SN110203-20. Problem still persisted, replaced ADC Adapter Board (D0902006 SN S1102390) and cabling inside IO chassis with a spare (no SN number). Have requested a replacement from CIT. Will replace sometime next week, but SUS is able to continue transfer functions on MC3.

Mark reports that the TFs taken Friday, looked noisy.  The situation with MC3 deteriorates.  Picking up where Filiberto/Jeff left off last week, I find that indeed no EXC is getting through to the MC3 tops, hence the lack of coherence in Friday's measurements.  Because this is possibly related to what Fil did on Friday with respect to switching out some boards (alog above), he is now looking again at the boards.

 

While I was in the cleanroom, I chased a moth and finally caught it as it was perched on the MC1/MC3 shared in-vacuum quadra-puss.  Ugh - now I have to switch that cable out as well.
