TITLE: 06/25 Eve Shift: 2300-0800 UTC (1600-0100 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 146Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Oli
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_ENV state: CALM
    Wind: 14mph Gusts, 9mph 5min avg
    Primary useism: 0.01 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.07 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY: H1 has been locked and observing for 1.5 hours. Sounds like relocking after maintenance went smoothly.

• Norco truck is still at MX
• Wind and microseism are low
• All other systems nominal

13:10-13:40UTC. Adjusted ZM4 PSAMs to 2 different settings this morning as LLO started an extended maintenance period.

Only adjusted ZM4 PSAMs as ZM5 seems to have more effect but is harder to realign after, last large raster in 76986.

In each of the two steps, I adjusted the PSAMS offset, used alignment sliders to bring the alignment back, ran scan sqz alignment. 

• Started with ZM4 PSAM strain voltage at 9.0V
• Tried 9.75V: plot squeezing looked bad and not flat (can't optimize low freq yellow BRLMs at the same time as high frequency blue BLRMS)
• Tried 7.5V: plot squeezing looked good and flatter here 4-4.5dB squeezing, range increased from original settings to 152MPc plot (but we hadn't recently optimized in the original settings). 
  • Leaving PSAMs and ZM alignment in this configuration. Can revert during maintenance if we want. 
  • Good SQZ time for 5 minutes: 1403357710 (2024/06/25 13:34:52 UTC) to IFO unlocked 1403358016 (2024/06/25 13:39:58 UTC).

TJ, Camilla. We turned off the HWS SLEDs to save their lifetime as the HWS hasn't been well aligned since our April SRC alignment shift. These channels are not in sdf. We started to realign them in 78083 but paused as may change our SRC alignment  again.

Closes FAMIS 28360

The in-lock charge measurements were not run this week.

There was two different sets of anchors drilled for the EMT support in the LVEA, one set on the technical slab, near the termination slab, and the second set on the termination slab (Y-Arm).

(Gerardo)
Anchor holes were drilled for two unistrut post bases, they are for supporting the long run of EMT, anchors were dropped in and unistrut post base was fasten, no issues to report.

(Janos, Isaiah, Gerardo)
The 3 high voltage cables, for the filter cavity tube ion pumps, that were pulled during the last couple of weeks were switched from their temporary controller, in the LVEA, to their permanent controller, in the mechanical room, no issues encountered during the switching process.  Next step is to get the controller signal cable connected to the vacuum rack, and get them into their respective MEDM screens.

(Isaiah, Gerardo)
Drilled the last four holes for the short supports, the post bases were anchored without problems, and the rest of the components were fasten to the footings to support the EMT run.

The LVEA has been swept, the only thing I noticed was an unused extension cable left plugged in next to the bier garten which I unplugged.

FAMIS tasks 24924 and 24948, WP 11941

Procedure checklist for both stations completed.  No issues were identified at this time.

Gerardo confirmed a good fill curbside.

[Dave, Erik]

Dave found that DACs in h1sush2a were in a FIFO HIQTR state since 2024-04-09 11:33 UTC.

FIFO HIQTR means that DAC buffers had more data than expected.  DAC latency would be proportionally higher than expected.

The models were restarted, which fixed the issue.

[Erik, Marc, Dave]

h1susex now has a a LIGO 28-bit 32-channel DAC installed.

The timing card was also swapped out for a new card with firmware that's compatible with the DAC.

h1susex now boots from h1vmboot0 running models built with RCG 5.3.0, necessary to support the DAC, as opposed to the rest of the front ends which boot from h1vmboot1 running RCG 5.1.4.

The timing fanout is reporting an firmware version error on the port for h1susex  (physical port 4, medm port 3).  This is probably because the firmware on the timing card is new.  We think we can run with this error.

DAQ Failure

After the install, DAQ leg 0 was restarted but it only connected to h1susex.  When setting up bootserver h1vmboot0, I'd accidentally replaced the DAQ master file.  Restoring the old master file resolved the issue.

Fil, Camilla

After finding that the sqz laser glitches may be linked ot the last 9th May TTFSS swap 78549, today Fil and I swapped  D2300329 Laser Locking Fiber Beat Note Chassis back to the original.

Installed Chassis S2300258
Removed Chassis (but left in the rack) S2300259

To avoid issues seen after swapping chassis before 77754, 77746 we may want to adjust TTFSS beatnote threshold polarization as RFAMP has dropped from 7.7 to 1.8dB. Plot

QUICK SUMMARY: We went down earlier to start our early maintanence day.

WP11928

TJ, Marc, Dave, Erik

h1susex is currently powered down, we are installing the LIGO 28AO32 DAC card.

I ended the lock to start an early maintenance today in coordination with LLO. To prep for the EX CDS work I transitioned:

• SEI_ENV to Maintenance (verified CPS_DIFF was off)
• SEI_ETMX to ISI_DAMPED_HEPI_OFFLINE
• SUS_ETMX to SAFE

Dave was removing the link for the software watchdog as I was typing this. CDS team should be ready to go.

State of H1: Observing at 153Mpc; locked for almost 7 hours.

Dropped observing from 23:42 to 00:17 UTC to implement new SRCL FF (alog78632), get 12 minutes of no-SQZ time (from 23:52 to 00:04 UTC), and optimize SQZ angle with the SCAN_SQZANG Guardian state. Otherwise, it's been a quiet shift so far.

Jennie, Ryan S, Camilla

After Jennie's 78629 measurements, we fit the SRCL FF (not time for MICH). Possible we might add noise at 300Hz but this is FF looks overall better.

Old SRCLFF was FM2 with gain 1.18 (didn't account fort this is code but should have changed this to 1 for best iterative fitting). New FF is FM4 gain 1.18. Plot attached. SDF saved and ISC_LOCK edited and loaded.
