Scattering noise from input arm vibration injections minimized with new setting of IRMY yaw offset

While studying the improvement made by stray light modifications over the break (summary alog soon), I found that the coupling was minimized by changing ITMY R0 yaw offset from -300 to -250. We want to change the settings before my alog, hence this mini-alog.

jenne.driggers@LIGO.ORG - 15:00, Monday 01 April 2024 (76848)

I have set and saved that value of -250 for the IY reaction mass yaw offset in both the safe and observe SDF files.  I did this right around when DRMI had just caught lock during this acquisition, so it seems fine (as we'd expect) for locking with this very slightly different offset.  Attached are the safe and observe snap screenshots of my accepting the new value.

Unmonitored camera servo offset in safe.snap

Since the camera servo offset was monitored by SDF in safe.snap, everytime we lose lock, the camera servo offset was set to the values in safe.snap which are kind of random. So I unmonitored the camera servo offset in safe.snap. This will make it easy to look back the camera servo offset in different locks.

Monday Ops Mid Day Shift Report


TITLE: 04/01 Day Shift: 15:00-23:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
OUTGOING OPERATOR: None
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_ENV state: SEISMON_ALERT
    Wind: 8mph Gusts, 5mph 5min avg
    Primary useism: 0.08 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.24 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
Some Commissioning was being done until the 16:23 UTC Dophin Crash.
Took all SUS to SAFE
Took all SEI to ISI_DAMPED_HEPI_OFFLINE
Took HAM1 HEPI to MASTERSWITCH_OFF
CDS started restarting DAQs at 16:53 UTC ish

The FC SUS kept trying to put itself into aligned everytime we went into prep for locking even though ISC_LOCK was in IDLE.
I then Manualed ISC_LOCK to IDLE then took SQZ_MAN to Down, then Paused SQZ_MAN and finally I took FC to SAFE for good.

17:33 UTC Took all the SUS back to Aligned.
Then took ISI's & HEPI's back to ISOLATED.
Then took SEI_ENV back to Calm
Started Initial_Alignment 17:53 UTC
Increase_Flashes ran for both arms

IA could not get passed Input align due to IMC unlocking issues seen on friday's Alog 76793

Once the Issue was Identified I took all sliders except for SQZ to 1395811454 ( tail end of the last Initial Alignment) 

Y arm looked bad so I took Yarm sliders only to 1396030446 (Tail end of Increase Flashes)  to get good Y arm Values in Green arms Manual.

INITIAL_Alignment started again and completed near 19:07 UTC.

NOMINAL_LOW NOISE has been reached 19:49 UTC.

OMC ASC Inputs to H1 SUS OMC Drive Path Has Been Doing it Wrong For Years. We Can Fix it Tomorrow.
J. Kissel, [Corroborated by J. Wright and J. Driggers]
WP 11797

While upgrading the OMCS_MASTER.mdl library part for the OMC Suspension (which now lives in the h1susifoout.mdl top-level model), I found two distressing things:
    (1) The OMC ASC signals that are sent from the h1omc.mdl model -- running at 2kHz -- are not anti-imaged at all before being sent to the OMC SUS DAC -- running at 16 kHz. So, we're sending unnecessary imaging noise to the SUS DAC.
    (2) The OMC ASC L, P, amd Y signals are being sent through a filter bank that does NOT past through the DRIVEALIN matrix, rendering 2019's attempt at diagonalization (LHO:47488) unused.

These bugs have been long standing.
I see it now as I touch the h1susifoout.mdl and the OMCS_MASTER library part for watchdog upgrades, but I'd previously identified the issue when 
 - I was upgrading the front-end models for O4 (i.e. when the OMC SUS transitioned from the h1susomc.mdl to the h1susifoout.mdl) in 2021 (LHO:59652), and
 - When we were identifying which SUS models used the broken "TrueRMS" bloick -- there's a preceding note in the simulink model that suggests this has been around since 2015 or earlier.

We can fix this tomorrow, with *only* a change to the h1susifoout.mdl and OMCS_MASTER.mdl models, and we're already doing that anyways for the SUS watchdog upgrade.


Attached are several series of screenshots showing:
    (1) The signal path from the h1omc.mdl model where the OMC ASC control signals begin, to where they land in the OMC SUS driving in the EULER basis (again WITHOUT going through the DRIVEALIGN MATRIX)
    (2) MEDM Screens showing that in practice we only drive L, P, and Y (as one should for an ASC signal) and we don't use T, V, or R drive and likely never will.
    (3) The existing filters that will need to be copied over, and the DRIVEALIGN gain values that will likely need to be re-addressed -- since effectively we've NOT been using them.

Note -- I checked on how this is done at LLO, and they *do* drive through the LOCK banks and DRIVALIGN banks (BUT they don't have any anti-imaging filters in pace either, even though their ISCINF FM1 banks are ON... whoops)...
So, when we change the OMCS_MASTER library part, this won't affect them.

The ASC P and Y filters in play during nominal low noise are as follows:
     Bank            Module     Name         Design String
     OMC_M1_ASC_P    FM0        SUSinvert    zpk([0.12+i*3.85;0.12-i*3.85;0.12+i*2.18;0.12-i*2.18],[0.3+i*1.75;0.3-i*1.75],1,"n")
                     FM10       LP8          zpk([],[2.58028+i*3.68676;2.58028-i*3.68676;1+i*7.93725;1-i*7.93725],1,"n")

     OMC_M1_ASC_Y    FM0        FM1          zpk([0.033+i*0.54;0.033-i*0.54;0.25+i*3.95;0.25-i*3.95],[1.6;1.6],1,"n")
                     FM10       LP8          zpk([],[2.58028+i*3.68676;2.58028-i*3.68676;1+i*7.93725;1-i*7.93725],1,"n")

These might be from 2015 -- the only aLOG I can find that even vaguely discusses these filters is LHO:16402.
(Note, these are distinctly separate from the primary OMC ASC control filters that were simiplified by Dan Brown and Evan Hall in 2022; LHO:65861).

Attached are bode plots of these two filters and their products for PITCH (in RED, on the left) and for YAW (in BLUE, on the right).
Note, the FM0 plant inversion filters resolve to have notches at
    Notch Freq     1st (Hz)  2nd (Hz)
       P DOF          2.21     3.84
       Y DOF          0.54     3.94


For comparison, I plotted the M1 [PIT,YAW] to M2 [PIT,YAW] transfer functions from the latest dynamical model from 2021 when I improved the damping loops (LHO:60049) and I get resonances at 
    Notch Freq     1st (Hz)  2nd (Hz)
       P DOF          1.92     3.98
       Y DOF          0.46     4.13


So ... maybe when we fix the infrastructrure, we should also update the plant inversion...

LHO aLOG 76856 describes the model prep for fixes made to the h1susifoout.mdl top level part and OMCS_MASTER.mdl library part in order to fix this bug.
jeffrey.kissel@LIGO.ORG - 10:02, Tuesday 02 April 2024 (76875)
J. Kissel, D. Barker, P. Fritschel

Model changes described above in LHO:76856 now covered under (fast-track approved) ECR E2400116 and IIET Ticket 30863, escalated to such formality because the SUS-OMC_M1_ASC_[LTVRPY]_IN1 channels *were* in the GDS broadcaster frames which is under strict ECR control. They're now replaced by OMC_M1_LOCK_[LPY]_IN1 (i.e. three less channels because TVR don't exist).

After making these changes, the impacted model and library have been committed to the userapps SVN under
    /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/h1/models/h1susifoout.mdl            rev 27374

Timing glitch on SUS, LSC0

[Dave, E.J., Erik]

At about 16:25 UTC, the corner station had a timing glitch that put the IOPs on h1susb123, h1sush2a, h1sush34, h1sush56 and h1lsc0 into an error state. 

The affected front ends had no error messages in the system logs.. 

The SUS IOPs all had long cycle times in the tens of milliseconds.  These times are typical of a "dolphin" timing glitch, seen when someone powers on a computer attached to the dolphin network, but no system was powered on in this case. 

h1lsc0 had a long cycle of only 3 milliseconds, too short for a "dolphin" glitch.  Also, it's time_0 value, which reads the clock time at the start of each second was off by 17 milliseconds, though the duotone value was correct. (see attached screen shot).

There's no evidence anyone was in the CER or MSR at the time of the glitch.

The operator put the IFO into a safe state.  Models on the affected systems were restarted.

During the restart, h1susb123 reset it's Ethernet adapter.

The main chiller alarm was active last night, so this morning I added 100mL of water to stope the low-level alarm.

We plan on doing a remote PMC alignment tomorrow during maintenance to address the recent rise in PMC reflected power.

Screenshot of the SCAN_SQZANG state (76776) - it scans SQZ CLF RF6 demod phase to scan the sqz angle, and optimizes squeezing at 350 Hz by minimizng the yellow BLRMS3.

Here it changed the CLF_RF6 demod phase by +19 degrees. That was a squeezing improvement of 1.4dB for 350 Hz yellow BLRMS 3, and improvement of about 3dB for the 1.7 kHz blue BLRMS 5.

CO2X Beam Scan

TJ, Camilla, WP 11746, LLO did in LLO#14419

We blocked the beam path going into vaccunm (downstream of the BS) and the FLIR path. Photo during set A,B and C attached. 
Mounted a razor blade to a 25mm transition stage.
At 1mm increments we measured the power transmitted to our PD (channel H1:TCS-ITMX_CO2_LSRPWR_MTR_OUTPUT). 
 
We repeated this 3 times:
Data attached, still to be analyzed - use Matlab code from LLO#14419.
 
Data set A and B:
BS to Razor 8”
Razor to center of annular mask: 2 3/8”
Razor to center of center mask: 3 1/2”
Annular Mask to Mirror: 18 3/8“
 
Data set C:
BS to annular Mask = 10”
Razor to annular Mask = 10 7/8”
Razor to central Mask = 9 1/2”
Rasor to mirror = 5 1/2”
 
We attempted to use the Wincam beamscanner (as in 74914) to measure the beam before the periscope, setup in attached photo. the beam was too large so we need to shorten our beam path. Left in the two downstream mirrors and left the FLIR path blocked so we can continue this work on a future Tuesday.
