Ops Eve Shift End

TITLE: 09/27 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 149Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ibrahim
SHIFT SUMMARY: Locked for 14.5 hours. There is a very slight trend downward to the range that is starting to show up, It's maybe showing up from around 100-1000Hz based on a DARM comparison and the range BLRMS. Might be too early to tell though. 

ETMY roll mode has been stable, and violins looks great.

M1, M2, and M3 OSEM calibration for SRM

I used Oli's SRM OSEM calibration measurments from [LHO: 87112] to get the absolute calibration of the SRM OSEMs. I only bothered with the ALIGNED position because that's is the official set of measurements for calibration.

I also used a new, quasi-automated version of the calibration script used for the PR3 and SR3 suspensions. The script fits the 6-15 Hz data directly to 1 [OSEM m]/[GS13 m], no additional modelling is involved in the calibration.
The script's information, coordinates, and instructions will be the subject of a later logpost.

The results of the calibration are a mouthful because we are now doing M1, M2, and M3 all simultaneously.
The TL;DR is that the M1 OSEM calibrations seemed off by factors of 1.8 or so, larger than the SR3/PR3 averages, but not unexpected. 
The M2 and M3 absolute calibrations were surprisingly good. They were all high from the GS13 measurments by a factor of 10% or so, which leads me to believe this is likely not a coincidence and someone may have previously done an absolute calibration of the SRM M2/M3 OSEMs. I would love to confirm these suspicions, but such work may be lost to time.

See the PDFs attached for the before and after calibration for all three stages.

Here is the full calibration script output:

___________________________________________

OSEM calibration of H1:SUS-SRM
Frequency range for calibration: 6 to 15 Hz
Stages to be calibrated: ['M1' 'M2' 'M3']
Measurement date: 2025-09-23_1830 (UTC).


%%%%%%%%%%%%
Stage: M1
%%%%%%%%%%%%

The suggested (calibrated) M1 OSEMINF gains are
(new T1) = 1.756 * (old T1) = 1.958
(new T2) = 1.806 * (old T2) = 2.127
(new T3) = 1.761 * (old T3) = 1.842
(new LF) = 1.945 * (old LF) = 2.102
(new RT) = 1.593 * (old RT) = 1.819
(new SD) = 1.525 * (old SD) = 1.794

To compensate for the OSEM gain changes, we estimate that the H1:SUS-SRM_M1_DAMP loops must be changed by factors of:
L gain = 0.571 * (old L gain)
T gain = 0.656 * (old T gain)
V gain = 0.565 * (old V gain)
R gain = 0.565 * (old R gain)
P gain = 0.561 * (old P gain)
Y gain = 0.571 * (old Y gain)

The calibration will change the apparent alignment of the suspension as seen by the M1 OSEMs
NOTE: The actual alignment of the suspension will NOT change as a result of the calibration process

The changes are computed as (osem2eul) * gain * pinv(osem2eul).
Using the alignments from 2025-09-23_1830 (UTC) as a reference, the new M1 apparent alignments are:

We have calculated a GS13 to OSEM calibration of H1 SRM ['M1' 'M2' 'M3'] using HAM5 ST1 drives from 2025-09-23_1830 (UTC).

Weekly In-Lock SUS Charge Measurement - FAMIS 28424

Closes FAMIS 28424, last checked in alog 86887.

Measurements did not seem to run last week (and couldn't find an alog for it), but did this week.

ITMX did not run this week - just like the previous check on 09/09.

I didn't capture a screenshot in time but I recall the same message from the last check: 

"Cannot calculate beta/beta2 because some measurements failed or have insufficient coherence!
Cannot calculate alpha/gamma because some measurements failed or have insufficient coherence!
Something went wrong with analysis, skipping ITMX_13_Hz_1440859844"

ETMX charge

It seems like the charge on ETMX is increasing as seen by a few different metrics...

Currently the 'ETMX_L3_LOCK_BIAS_OFFSET' we use while locked is +6.05425, the sign is flipped when we are down. Specifically in the PREP_FOR_LOCKING main() fx it's set to -8.9, and it looks to be switching the value as expected.

There's not all that much we can do about this right now, we should keep an eye on it and make sure the values are flipped during maintenance windows (they should be since it's in GRD).

Errata for SR3 OSEM calibration [LHO aLog: 85907].

This errata is the SR3 version of [LHO: 87160] that dealt with PR3. 

While double-checking the PR3/SR3 OSEM calibration script, I noticed a typo on the printing output of the function that generated the logpost [LHO: 85907].

No changes need to be made because the calculated M1 OSEM calibrations and M1_DAMP gains are both correct. Plots and other visual documentation is all correct too.

However, the expected alignments posted in [LHO: 85907] were wrong, as the (old EUL) to (new EUL) transformation matrix was accidentally inverted.

 

I post here the corrected script output for the SR3 OSEM calibration for the sake of documentation and transparency. Note that the theoretically calculated alignment values match the observed ones for SR3 too [see attached screenshot]

OPS OWL Shift: Round 2

Got notified again and since I hadn't slept yet, was still logged in with some ideas of what was causing issues.

H1 got stuck at input align and a quick looksy through the alog found this parcel of frustration from TJ's alog 86095. Using the wiki and following this, I found that indeed:

IM's did not quite restore to an aligned state post EQ so I trended back OSEMs and moved sliders:

This worked! 

But as then I couldn't lock SRY, so I moved SRM a bit in order to maximize AS_A centering peaks!

This also worked!

OPS OWL Shift: 5.9 Oregon Earthquake Lockloss 06:47 UTC

A 5.9 EQ from Oregon hit H1 quite violently and tripped:

HAM1 ISI, HAM2 ISI, HAM2

IM1 (M1), IM2 (M1), IM3 (M1), IM4 (M1)

MC1 (M1), MC2 (M1), MC3 (M1)

PRM (M1,2,3), PR2 (M1), SRM (M1,2,3), SR2 (M1), SR3 (M1)

FC1 (M1,2,3), FC2 (M1,3)

Along with their respective ISIs (ST1) and the QUAD ISIs (though I untripped a bit too quickly to note the exact ISIs I untripped so will append this tomorrow when I can trend without lag).

A few guardians also stalled so I unstalled them. I attached an overview of verbal trips and overview screen.

IFO is back to LOCKING and EQ is mostly passed. I've reset myself as the OWL.

TITLE: 09/26 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Wind
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ibrahim
SHIFT SUMMARY: Currently relocking and in LASER_NOISE_SUPPRESSION. One lockloss today due to the wind, and relocking has been taking a while because of the wind. We were worried about the ETMY Roll mode earlier, but it ended up coming back down on its own. Maybe we should keep an eye on it over the weekend, but it seemed like the current setting are doing okay. The ion pump is still running in the LVEA - since the lockloss was so late in the evening, there were no vacuum people on site to turn it off, but that's okay.

H1 ISI HAM2 and ISI HAM5 EUL2CART Suspension Point Drive Matrices Changed from PR3/SR3 to PRM/SRM
J. Kissel

In prep for measuring the absolute calibration PRM and SRM OSEMs, I've changed the ISI HAM2 / HAM5 suspension point drive matrices to project from the PRM and SRM suspension points rather than PR3 and SR3 what we used when calibrating those top mass OSEMs.

Here's the method for installing these matrices:

>> addpath /ligo/svncommon/SeiSVN/seismic/Common/MatlabTools/
>> load /opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk/isc/common/projections/ISI2SUS_projection_file.mat;
>> ham2 = ISI2SUSprojections.h1.prm.EUL2CART;
>> fill_matrix_values('H1:ISI-HAM2_SUSPOINT_EUL2CART',ham2)
>> ham5 = ISI2SUSprojections.h1.srm.EUL2CART;
>> fill_matrix_values('H1:ISI-HAM5_SUSPOINT_EUL2CART',ham5)

Attached are screenshots of the matrix MEDM screens themselves and the SDF accept in the OBSERVE .snap files. 
Since these are used and moved around to calibrate each of the SUS in the chamber, and it's so simple to restore if lost, I'm not bothering to save the values in the ISI's safe.snap.

WARNING:  We need to check this before we use it again. These projections were done for the sensors, not the actuators. 

The EUL basis -> ISI drives actuator matrix needs to be calculated and added to the suspoint projections script and data in the repo. Edgard says this should be the transpose of the sensor matrix, not the inverse. Documentation is in progress.
(EUL2CART and CART2EUL are both for the sensor projection, and are inverses of each other)

edgard.bonilla@LIGO.ORG - 18:56, Friday 26 September 2025 (87167)

Ohp. I made a mistake here.

The drive matrix calculation bit is true about applied drives. However, because the ISI drive requests here are made at the error point of the ISO loops, the inverse is actually correct. Nevermind what I said before.

Apologies for the confusion.

OSEM calibration of H1:SUS-PR3

Oli, Ivey, Edgard.

We used Oli's measurements from [LHO: 86204] to do an OSEM calibration for the PR3 M1 OSEMs. Here are the outputs of the calibration script.
_______________________________________

OSEM calibration of H1:SUS-PR3
Stage: M1
2025-08-05_1700 (UTC).

The suggested (calibrated) M1 OSEMINF gains are
(new T1) = 1.770 * (old T1) = 2.055
(new T2) = 1.547 * (old T2) = 1.544
(new T3) = 1.443 * (old T3) = 1.511
(new LF) = 1.590 * (old LF) = 1.862
(new RT) = 1.774 * (old RT) = 2.063
(new SD) = 1.543 * (old SD) = 1.639

To compensate for the OSEM gain changes, we estimate that the H1:SUS-PR3_M1_DAMP loops must be changed by factors of:
L gain = 0.596 * (old L gain)
T gain = 0.648 * (old T gain)
V gain = 0.617 * (old V gain)
R gain = 0.617 * (old R gain)
P gain = 0.670 * (old P gain)
Y gain = 0.596 * (old Y gain)

The calibration will change the apparent alignment of the suspension as seen by the at the M1 OSEMs
NOTE: The actual alignment of the suspension will NOT change as a result of the calibration process

The changes are computed as (osem2eul) * gain * inv(osem2eul).
Using the alignments from 2025-08-05_1700 (UTC) as a reference, the new apparent alingments are:

DOF        Previous value       New value            Apparent change
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L          -57.1 um             -33.6 um               +23.5 um
T          -101.3 um            -65.6 um               +35.7 um
V           62.4 um              36.6 um               -25.8 um
R           433.5 urad           225.7 urad          -207.8 urad
P          -631.8 urad          -406.5 urad          +225.2 urad
Y          -166.7 urad          -76.1 urad           +90.5 urad

We have estimated a OSEM calibration of H1 PR3 M1 using HAM2 ST1 drives from 2025-05-21_0000 (UTC).
We fit the response M1_DAMP/HAM2_SUSPOINT between 5 and 15 Hz to get a calibration in [OSEM m]/[GS13 m]

Comparing these new OSEMINF gains to the gains we got last time we did this (84367) (before the satamp swap), they are pretty similar:

OSEM Previous Calculated OSEMINF gains (84367) New Calculated OSEMINF gains (85907) Percent difference (%)
T1 3.627 3.213 12.1
T2 1.396 1.517 8.3
T3 1.345 1.494 10.4
LF 1.719 1.733 0.8
RT 1.490 1.494 0.2
SD 1.781 1.793 0.6

So that's another indicator that the sat amp swap did not have much of an effect on the suspension response to suspoint excitations
