Alex found the configuration problem which was preventing the H1 DAQ from serving testpoints. The GDS INI files which were commented out from the master file at the end of S6 had not been restored. We still have h1awg0 running with a RED status (cycle counts at +2), but if we can demonstrate that excitations are running correctly despite this we may be able to live with this until the retirement of H1.
Rolf, Jim and Dave. We rebuilt the h2 frontend and DAQ systems against the branch-2.3 RTS. We are running the bsc8 SUS and SEI front ends with this release in the computer users room.
An alarm handler is now running for the dust monitors in the labs and lvea. The alarm values and severity have also been set for these, however the final values still need to be determined.
The dust monitor in the lab prep room on top of the flow bench (location 2) is now powered from a wall outlet. The corresponding fuse on the RS485 loop is removed.
- Roofing work at OSB - Aidan and Cheryl restore TCS on H1 - Torquing in LVEA of HAMs by Greg Grabeel - Glenn Reibold visits site - Hanford Fire Department on site - Rick and MichaelR on roof of H2 PSL enclosure to install ducting - Dani gives a laser safety tour in the LVEA - H1PSL was tripped during laser tour. RichardM turned PSL on, and Keita is working on restoring the PSL system. - Huge group of kids here for a tour - Construction work going on by HAM12 cleanroom
No hydrogen pump on X1 overnight
crossbeams installed on the mechanical test stand in the West bay scheduled to move BSC6 into Y end VEA The dust monitor in the bake oven room and at location 9 in the LVEA were replaced with a spare and the one in the control room. They both have calibration errors.
The tidal feed-forward servo is now running on both of the End Station BSC chambers. A new prediction file was generated and the actuators reset to read the new file. The PSL Reference Cavity feed-forward was also reset. Attached is a 3-hr plot of the actuator output and the temperature drive to the Reference Cavity. The jump in actuator output is when the servos were reset. There is approximately 42 days of data left.
Y-mid 1.4e-7 torr at turbo inlet as of 1700 hrs local. X-mid now on turbo (took 5 hours to rough down)
The crossbeam has been mounted in place between the South end HEPI assemblies. Unfortunately the layout of the weldment and the frame is preventing some of the bolts from being torqued down. The bottle jacks and the work table will remain in place until some way of torquing the bolts down can be figured out. Once this problem is solved things should move fairly quickly for finishing out the HAM.
Opened GV7 as it was soft closed earlier in the day for craning operations.
This is the second shipment from GNB. More photos here in the public collection "lho end station spool delivery" - https://ligoimages.mit.edu/?r=6580
installation of mechanical test stand supports in LVEA West Bay LVEA transitioned to laser safe for box cleaning test and welding of HEPI tubing from mezzanine to BSC8 running turbo pump on X mid and Y mid cleaning of top of vacuum tube in LVEA work on supplying electrical service to new H2 electronics building installation of air pressure gauge between plenum and LVEA
I conducted the relevant section of the ECD block testing again.
Began pumping Y-mid on MTP. X-mid BSC dome bolts not torqued -> will ask Apollo to torque dome bolts at X-mid
Dani, Filiberto, Grant, Keita, Patrick The particle counts in the LVEA were unusually high today, including at ISCT4, where they should be zero. We went out to investigate ISCT4 and found that the HEPA filters were not running due to an undetermined electrical fault at the outlet. The power strip has been connected to another socket for the time being, and the counts have returned to zero. The .5 micron counts in ISCT4 are recorded in channel H0:PEM-LVEA_DST1_5 on the attached plot.
BSC6 moved from mid Y to end Y Drilling holes for mechanical test stand installation in West bay HEPI installation work Delivery of laser partition wall Delivery of vacuum parts Fire alarm panel in computer users room has a fault
HAM 7 has the HEPI frames as well as the weldments in place and ready for the crossbeam. The jacks holding up the support tubes had to be relocated to give clearance to the clamps as well as allowing an extension piece to be attached to the end of the support tube. To do this two jacks and the top clamp were used to cradle the support tube while the extension was attached and the jack relocated. The crossbeam is rigged with a spreader bar and should be ready to install shortly.
After lunch the chamber will move into the end station. No excitement at any time - this is good.
The doors to the EY Cleaning Room (a.k.a. air lock) were closed at 3:15pm 1-Jum-11, with the BSC inside (https://ligoimages.mit.edu/?r=6562).
