STATE of H1: Observing at 150Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: TJ
SHIFT SUMMARY: Currently still Observing and have been Locked for 9 hours now. Very quiet evening. The PSL chiller water level alarm was going off so I went in and added 150 mL to it (tagging PSL).
We had some small earthquakes roll through, but they were all small enough that we didn't have to go into earthquake mode. Between 4 and 5 UTC, we had a 17-20 Mpc drop in range; I am attributing it to one of the small earthquakes, but I'm confused as to why the 'peak' lowest range that we had during that time occures 30 minutes after the ground motion peaked (attachment1). Omicron also caught a bunch of low SNR glitches between 20 and 60 Hz during that time(attachment2).

Still Observing and we've been locked for 4 hours. We got a couple earthquake warnings on verbals but didn't need to go into earthquake mode. Other than that a quiet evening!

SHIFT SUMMARY:
Recovery from the Earthquake:
I took ISC_LOCK to IDLE for just under and hour to let the Earthquake pass.
I then started an Initial Alignment, when Peak mon was around 400 or so.
Once that finished relocking was fully automatic.
Observing was reached at 23:13 UTC

Relocking notes:
Mysterious lockloss at Prep_TR_CARM after a suspicious HAM6 saturation.
Some investigations show me a possible CPS glitch on HAM 6 now. tagging SEI. See screenshot.
ALSX went through Increase flashes then had a fault for PLL & PDH, going to green arms manual.
I unlocked ALSX and requested Lock_slow_no_WFS. this did not fix the issue, but it did eventually start staying locked for longer.
so I sent it to Locking ALS to see if I'd get another lockloss. So far its going well.
made it to NLN at 17:21 UTC.
17:24 UTC Observing reached.

QUICK SUMMARY:
When I got in the ISI ITMX(BSC3) watch dog had been tripped and already reset via software. I called Jim and let him know that there was not an earthquake that caused the watchdog trip it but a CPS glitch as Tj pointed out in his alog
He asked me to power cycle the 3 BSC3 ISI Interface chassis in the SEI-C6 rack via the 3 DC power switches on the back side of the chassis .
Lockloss from a 13 hour lockdue to a CPS glitch.

Screen Shot attached.
While typing out this alog the IFO has been locking and has cycled through check mich fringes a number of times already, I'm doing an Initial_Alignment now.
I've reset the watch dog, but I'd guess that this will happen again. I'll talk with Tony and we'll probably contact SEI.

Held ISC_LOCK in Idle 22:40 - 23:37 UTC while the earthquake passed.
On a side note:
Jonathan called to report some smoke near 240, and I went up to the roof to snap a pic.
LOG:
Jonathan & tour goup came to the control and overpass.

This morning I took the OPLEV charge measurements on both ETMX and ETMY suspensions. I will post the results below after processing the data.
Both the suspensions were restored to their nominal state after the measurements were complete.
