ITMX coil driver states wrong overnight, error in safe.snap

Overnight the ITMX coil driver states were wrong, causing the ASC controls to satuate the PUM durring acquisition.  (This become aparent when the DHARD gains are increased at the end of DHARD WFS, which happens right before PARK_ALS_VCO 80699)

This used to be reset in ISC_LOCK PREP_FOR_LOCKING state, this has been commented out (line 618), with a note that SDF will take care of this, this has been commented out in the guardian for over a year.  Indeed. we found that the coil driver state was incorrectly set to 3

The attached screenshot shows the error was introduced to the safe.snap sometime between 2:30 and 5 pm yesterday, as it was correctly reset in the first two locking attempts of the day, but wasn't correctly reset after the lockloss at 5 local time last night.

Erik, EJ, Dave:

We found that h1susitmx's safe.snap file was truncated from 2265 lines to 1336 lines (last 929 lines removed) at 14:47 Tue 15oct2024. This truncated file was loaded into the model at 17:09 Tue. The BIO STATEREQ channels were in the missing block, and so were not restored to val=2 until the safe.snap file was fixed Wed 09:20.

Locking Notes:
Initial_Alignment went smooth, DRMI_1F locked quickly:
ISC_LOCK got past DHARD_WFS and immediately I_X Saturations started to happen. 
We noticed that the Saturations were coming from the ITMX L2 stage.
Sheila spotted the fact that the Coil Drivers were in the wrong state. 

H1:SUS-ITMX_BIO_L2_UL_STATEREQ = 3
H1:SUS-ITMX_BIO_L2_UR_STATEREQ = 3
H1:SUS-ITMX_BIO_L2_LL_STATEREQ = 3
H1:SUS-ITMX_BIO_L2_LR_STATEREQ = 3

But they needed to be in state 2 instead!

Sheila stopped me from just quickly changing that 3 to a 2, which would have broken the lock. 
Apparently Shelia relieved one of the Coil Drivers from driving, and then changed the state of that Coild Driver while it was not driving. Then turned that coil driver back on and rotated it back into driving with the restof the Coil Drivers. The she would rotate another Coil Driver out of driving to update the state. Maintaining at least 3 coil Drivers at a time.  

Apparently there is a matrix change from driving with all 4 Coils to driving with 3 coils.
Then change the ramp time and value from 3 to 2, then change the matrix to rotate through all 4 coild drivers to "free" a different coild driver from driving. is the procedure that kept our lock.  Please see Sheila's alog.

We believe that there was a change to Prep_for_locking that is supposed to update the state of the coild drivers before locking.
 

P.S. 
We turned the Softloops off to deal with the above, and we sat in POWER_25W but we only had 10Watts, because softloops were turned off and we forgot to turn them back on. But it gave Rahul time to Damp Violin modes, which is good because the violin modes do seem big red and mad.
 

rahul.kumar@LIGO.ORG - 09:45, Wednesday 16 October 2024 (80707)SUS

Violin modes are now damping down nicely using the nominal settings for 2W. I have ramped-up the gains for few of the modes in all four optics which will enable to calm them down faster. Later will move to damp violins at full power.

Ops Owl Update

Been trying to get the violins down for the past 2 hours and made barely any progress. Many of the problem modes on ITMX just didn't seem to respond positively to any gains that have worked in the past. We just lost lock, so I'll try some damping on RF and see if that can somehow help.

Comments related to this report
thomas.shaffer@LIGO.ORG - 03:07, Wednesday 16 October 2024 (80701)

After losing lock a few times while damping, I think I've finally found a combo that kinda works. While waiting in RF I would request the violin gaurdian to go to DAMPING_ON_SIMPLE, then change the ITMX mode 3 gain down from -40 and increase as needed, and change the ETMY mode 1 to +90 and with a gain of -0.2 as teh google doc says. This worked well and damped most of the problematic modes. I still had issues with ITMX mode 3 & 13 though. This is the limiting factor right now. These two modes just won't go down at any reasonable pace.

Just lost lock again. The lock losses have been from small earthquakes, and other reasons that I haven't figured out.

thomas.shaffer@LIGO.ORG - 04:17, Wednesday 16 October 2024 (80702)

Damped in RF for a while and was able to get ITMX modes to what I thought were reasonable levels, when we transitioned to DC there were still saturations going on, so I tried damping further there but we lost lock. Each time they ring back up and I have to start almost from scratch. I thought that there must be an incorrect setting or filter on ITMX, but I haven't found anything. At this point I'm beginning to think there might be something else wrong, but I have no idea where to keep looking right now since things seem to somewhat work while damping the violins.

OPS Eve Shift Summary

TITLE: 10/16 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Aligning
INCOMING OPERATOR: TJ
SHIFT SUMMARY:

IFO is LOCKING at CHECK_VIOLINS_BEFORE_POWERUP.

Violins:

We lost lock at 00:09 UTC (lockloss alog 80697) and have not been able to get to NLN since. A local earthquake rung violins up violently such that some are in the 8/9 zone. While the alignment is great, (DRMI locked without PRMI 5 times), we have IX saturations starting at PARK_ALS_VCO. I initially thought this was an ALS or maintenance Tuesday issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. After chatting to Jenne, we realized that it was indeed the violins. So I started damping.

Setting all violins to their nominal damping states successfully prevented IX from saturating at ENGAGE_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO, where it was saturating consistently. Moving to CHECK_VIOLINS_BEFORE_POWERUP results in 1 saturation/second, losing lock eventually (after 30 mins or so). Any form of powerup also loses lock immediately. I  talked to Rahul, and he recommended staying at a steady state to damp for a few hours since sometimes it just takes that long. Spoke to the incoming operator, TJ and he's been informed of the unsteady state of the IFO.

I'm already past this state but my recommendation (from speaking to Rahul) would be to stay at PREP_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO at nominal damping for a few hours.

BBSS Transfer Function and Drift Update

Ibrahim, Oli

Below are updates and promising findings concerning the most recent BBSS LHO Top Mass -4mm BP Adjustments to tackle the F1 Drift issue summarized in alog 80577.

On Friday 10/11, Oli P and I moved the blade positions (mm BP Units) to:

Front Left: Side: 0.02, Top: -4.03 Back Left: Side: -0.03, Top -3.90 Front Right: Side: 0.02, -3.91 Back Right: Side: -0.05, -3.95 Avg: Side: -0.01 Height: -3.95

Find:

The good news is that with these 4.5 days of Data, we see no sign of F1 Drift.

We will post another alog with TF to model comparisons as we find which model d1 parameter fits these -4mm BP positions best.

Adding this Pitch Plot (which still shows no drift!) to give a measure of how much the diurnal moves day-to-day. Plot attached shows a max of 31.8 cts trough to peak max.

This is such that future drift measurements (e.g. at LLO) can try new configurations quickly and measure the prevailing drift without getting caught in the daily pitch breathing error.

PSL NPRO Controller Swap

R. Short, J. Oberling

After the NPRO control box was swapped last week and glitches persisted (see alog80566), we decided it would be best to switch back to the original so that signal readbacks for the NPRO would be accurate. I started by bringing down the PSL in a controlled manner (ISS, FSS, PMC, AMPs, NPRO), then went out to the LVEA PSL racks and swapped control box S/N S2200008 for S2200009. Since this is the control box that had previously been in service with this NPRO laser head, no adjustments were needed to set the temperature and current to be correct. I returned to the control room and brought the whole system back up without issue.

Once it was time to lock the FSS, similar to what was needed with the last control box swap, I manually moved the NPRO temperature down about 0.4K (from 0.19 to -0.23) and locked the RefCav so that the SQZ laser would be happy. I then updated the FSS search parameters and accepted them in SDF (see screenshot).

As I noted in the 10-day trends yesterday (see alog80665), PMC REFL has risen over the past week, so I attempted a remote alignment tweak using the picomotors before the PMC. In the end, I wasn't able to make much of any improvement to the PMC alignment. I also attempted a remote alignment tweak for the RefCav, and here I was able to get a slight improvement from 0.80V to 0.81V on the TPD.

Looking for more things to try to impact the laser glitching and hopefully bring down the amount of PMC reflected power, Jason and I returned to the PSL racks to try adjusting the NPRO pump current. We ultimately raised the current from 2.12A to 2.19A, increasing the NPRO output power from 1.82W to 1.91W according to the PD in front of the laser, but not having much of an impact on the PMC. We also tried slightly altering pump diode currents in the amplifiers, but we didn't see any improvement, so these remain as they were.

I concluded our PSL activities today with a rotation stage calibration following the steps in alog79596. The measurement file, new calibration fit, and screenshot of accepting SDFs are attached.

CDS Maintenance Summary: Tuesday 15th October 2024

WP12131 h1tcscs model, add FMs and Voltage slow channels

Daniel, Vicky, Dave:

A new h1tcscs model was installed when h1oaf0 was rebooted this morning. DAQ restart was required, the addition of 51 slow channels.

WP12132 New Dolphin adapter card Firmware.

Keith, Jonathan, Erik, EJ, Tony, Dave:

Downgraded firmware was loaded onto the Dolphin IX-611 adapter cards in h1sush7, h1cdsh8 and h1oaf0. This is to prevent sponteneous PCI level switching which is possibly the cause of some O4 cornerstation Dolphin glitches.

Procedure was:

WP12134 DAQ Restart Script, Restart rts-nds.service

Jonathan, Erik, Dave:

To prevent /run/nds/jobs filling, the scripts to restart the DAQ was modified to restart the rts-nds.service on the nds machines as well as restarting their rts-daqd.services.

This allows systemd to empty the /run/nds/jobs directory, which was over 50% full on h1daqnds1. We tested this as part of this morning's DAQ restart, it worked well.

WP12087 Add VACSTAT gauge PVs to DAQ

Dave:

My first attempt to add the VACSTAT PVs relating to vacuum gauge monitoring failed because the channel names exceeded the DAQ length limit of 54 characters.

I modified the VACSTAT code to drop the _PRESS_TORR from the PT channels names, which allowed these channels to be added to the DAQ.

A new H1EPICS_VACSTAT.ini file was created which added 368 channels to the EDC. DAQ and EDC restart was needed.

The new VACSTAT IOC was restarted, and the new MEDMs installed into production.

WP12143 Replace failed SDD in h1guardian1

Dave, Jonathan, Erik:

cds_report reported a failed disk in h1guardian1's md3 raid at noon today. Jonathan and Erik found a failed 230GB SDD which is part of the root file system on h1guardian1. It was replaced  with a 1TB SSD (the smallest we have), resyning the new disk only took about an hour.

DAQ Restart

Jonathan, Erik, Dave:

We restarted the DAQ for the addition of h1tcscs slow channels and the new VACSTAT EDC channels. EDC was restarted, its channel count increased from 57061 to 57429.

This was the first test of the new restart script, which after doing the round of rts-daqd restarts then restarts rts-nds on the nds machines.

The only problem was a spontaneous retstart of framewriter 1 after it had written about 3 full frames. It came back by itself and has been stable since.

Strain gauge servo

(Dave, Vicky, Daniel)

The necessary filter modules for the ZM2/4/5 strain gauge servos were booted into the h1tcscs model, and the medm updated. We added some channels to the copy guardian, since the strain gauge channels are acquired in the TwinCAT system. The new filter modules were loaded with a -1/f filter and then engaged with a gain of 1. The output limiter were set to 50V.

We played around with the new servos by stepping the target strain gauge settings. The response time seems to be about 7-8 sec. All working fine.

victoriaa.xu@LIGO.ORG - 08:42, Wednesday 16 October 2024 (80695)SQZ

So when running the PSAMS servo, to change PSAMS ROC, set H1:AWC-ZM{2,4,5}_M2_STRAIN_VOLTAGE_TARGET instead of adjusting the applied voltage offset slider H1:AWC-ZM{2,4,5}_M2_SAMS_OFFSET.

Attaching some trends of the PSAMS servo working overnight -

Screenshot 1 - For ZM4, servo filter bank settings and ndscope trends of a step in the servo setpoint. The PSAMS servo output adjusts the applied voltage (see PZT DC voltage readback, eg H1:AWC-ZM4_PSAMS_VOLTAGE_DC) to bring the strain gauge voltage readback (H1:AWC-ZM4_PSAMS_STRAIN_VOLTAGE) to the target setpoint voltage (H1:AWC-ZM4_M2_STRAIN_VOLTAGE_TARGET).

Screenshot 2 - ZM2,4,5 PSAMS strain gauge voltage trends before/after servo. Before PSAMS servo (last few days) - the applied PSAMS PZT voltage is static, and the PSAMS strain gauge voltage readbacks drifts (small amount). After turning on PSAMS servos, the applied PSAMS PZT voltages are servo'd to stabilize the strain gauge readbacks to the "TARGET" values.

Screenshot 3 - ZM5 suspension MEDM screen, showing where the PSAMS servo filter bank and target setpoints are. This ZM5 suspension medm screen is in $(userapps)/sus/common/medm/hxds/SUS_CUST_HPDS_OVERVIEW.adl (Sheila helped us svn-commit this screen from LLO, then Daniel pulled it for use at LHO).

Daniel updated the PSAMS servo parts in the AWC block of h1tcscs.mdl, found in userapps/trunk/tcs/h1/models. The SDF's appeared in the h1tcscs table (in the "OAF" box on the sdf screen). Daniel has sdf-monitored the PSAMS filter banks, and left the ZM PSAMS PZT offsets sdf-monitored. Note these pzt offset values are basically meaningless when the servo is running. The ZM2/4/5 offsets are now all SDF'd around 100V, so they would come back to ~nominal values after any resets.

This follows up on Adam's llo73464 "Adding SAMS servo to HPDS common part" (from LLO: WP 11839IIET ticket 32287, and ECR E2400361) to pull the psams servo for LHO.

That error to my update_safe_snap script shouldn't happen again - I had put the OFI as an option in there for overwriting the OPTICALIGN offset settings, but it turns out that the OFI doesn't have opticalign offsets! Neither does the OPO, so I've removed both of those from the code.

It seems to now be working correctly (but it's tricky to test) so hopefully there are no more issues with running it.
