SHIFT SUMMARY:

- EX saturation @ 16:46

- Lockloss @ 17:46, cause unknown

- ALS caught on relocking, but PRC1 would not converge on IR, spot was also poor on AS AIR, so running an IA

- Back to NLN @ 19:04/OBSERVE @ 19:08

- EX saturation @ 20:06/20:18/22:50
LOG:

No log for this shift.

Lockloss from earlier this morning, but following an initial alignment, H1 is back in observing as of 19:08 UTC. Microseism is continuing its downward trend, violins looking good.

Lockloss @ 17:26, DCPD saturation right before, cause unknown. Seeing some elevated ASC motion for MICH.

SHIFT SUMMARY: Quiet evening, Observing and we have now been Locked for over 12hours. Wind has gone up a bit but is still pretty low. Microseism is slowly decreasing, and violins are doing well. SEI_CONF is still in USEISM, and SEI_ENV is still set to CALM

    - SEI_CONF in USEISM and SEI_ENV in CALM

In Observing and now Locked for over 8 hours. Everything has been calm besides some EX saturations. ITMY modes 5 and 6 are behaving.

STATE of H1: Observing at 150Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Oli
SHIFT SUMMARY:

- 17:37 - inc 5.6 EQ from Northern Mariana Islands

• 18:04 - EQ mode activated, back to CALM @ 18:14

- Lockloss @ 17:46

• Reloaded VIOLIN DAMPING and ISC LOCK
• ISC LOCK went into error due to a code error in susconst.py file (line 1) which I have commented out for now
• Microseism is still on the rise, making ALS difficult to lock
• Spot was horrible on IR (COMM beanote was 0), so I will be running an initial alignment

- Relocking was still a bit tricky going through PRMI thrice before finally catching

- Back to NLN @ 19:49/OBSERVE @ 19:53 (only 4 minutes for ADS to converge!)

- EX saturations @ 19:56/21:00/23:48

- PI 31 ringups @ 19:57, successfully damped by guardian

Range has been on the lower side these past few locks, hovering between 140-150 Mpc.

LOG:

No log for this shift.

Following a lockloss after a 21 hour lock and struggling with high microseism trying to reacquire, H1 has finally made it back to low noise and observing (as of 19:53 UTC).

Sat Nov 25 10:03:57 2023 ALERT: Fill done (errors) in 3min 54sec

A quick fill which did not automatically stop because the TCs did not reach the trip temp of -100C. Outside temp was -4C at the time of fill, TC-A only reached -97C.

I manually stopped the fill after the TCs had flat-lined for about 30 seconds.

I have changed the trip temps to -90C

Lockloss @ 17:46, possible ASC ringup, SRC loops in particular.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_ENV state: CALM
    Wind: 1mph Gusts, 0mph 5min avg
    Primary useism: 0.10 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.43 μm/s 
QUICK SUMMARY:

- H1 locked for 26 hours

- Microseism still on the rise, violins also high (looks like guardian turned off settting for ETMX 9 last night, ringing up the mode)

• Guardian was also preventing me from changing the gain, so I moved VIOLIN DAMPING guardian to DAMPING ON SIMPLE to change the gain and then went back to full power damping, out of observing from 16:18:35 UTC to 16:18:54 UTC

- CDS ok/PSL DM 102 still not getting readback

Dense freezing fog through the city and on site today...
