STATE of H1: Observing at 146Mpc

We've been locked for 9:20, no issues aside from another MY low temperature alarm.

Briefly dropped from Observing from 08:18:42 to 08:18:59 from an unknown issue, whatever SDF diff or grd node issue resolved itself before I could open the medms.

camilla.compton@LIGO.ORG - 10:55, Monday 24 July 2023 (71653)SQZ

Using commands 'guardctrl log -a "07/23/2023 08:17 UTC" -b "07/23/2023 08:20 UTC" IFO' and 'guardctrl log -a "07/23/2023 08:17 UTC" -b "07/23/2023 08:20 UTC" DIAG_SDF' I can see that it was syscssqz that had 2 sdf diffs. Trended a in 71652 to see this was H1:SQZ-FIBR_SERVO_COMGAIN and H1:SQZ-FIBR_SERVO_FASTGAIN that changed from 20 to 17 and 15 back to 20 in ~0.3 seconds.

Oli also saw this 07/24 04:09UTC 71652, tagging SQZ, maybe we need to edit something or unmonitor these channels.

Dropped out of Observing for 17 seconds 08:18:42 to 08:18:59, not sure why. When I opened up SDF and GRD_OVERVIEW seconds after hearing verbal call out Commissioning I didn't see anything, it had already cleared itself.

Lockloss from NLN

Lockloss from NLN @ 22:38 7/22 - Not sure of cause yet, but winds were very high.

 

While trying to relock, we lost lock at:

presumeably all from the wind.

Noise between 18 and 21 Hz is due to calibration line upconversion by ASC motion

The DARM noise between 18 an 21 Hz is due to calibration line upconversion by ASC motion. 
This is shown by the bicoherence between DARM and ASC-DHARD_Y, and also by the fact thta DARM is coherent with calibration line signals multiplied by ASC signals (see two examples attached)

We should repeat a test with CAL lines off again now that the low frequency sensitivity is better.

MY Temperatur Drop Alarm: Related to Fan Work On Tues (7/18/2023)

Received another Low MAJOR (red) Alarm Handler alarm similar to what RyanC reported overnight.  Attached are relevant trends.  The chiller looks operational; MY VEA temperature sensors took a step down on Tues morning (correlating with Tues Maintenace Fan lubricating), and the MY VEA is now a full 10degF lower since Tuesday's fan work.  Although it's only a mid-station, I will still send a text to Bubba (I reckon due to the drop is equalizing below the LOW alarm setting, this alarm will be ongoing until temperatures raise or the alarm settings are changed).

A2L gains tuned for this lock, but not planning to keep them for next lock

After Gabriele made a major improvement on the DHARD Y coupling (alog 71588), since LLO was still working on relocking, I checked the A2L gains for the 3 test masses that we use for ADS during locking.  The summary is that the change seemed to be small enough that it's not worth keeping long term, so I have not modified ISC_LOCK.  I did accept the changed A2L gains for this lock, so next lock, the operator will see SDF diffs and need to accept them

Rather than being fancy and using the ASC as a metric for when the decoupling is good, I used 'the old way' of dithering the suspensions using the ADS and changed the A2L gains to zero the error signals. (To see the ADS error signals I had to put the gains H1:ASC-ADS_[PIT,YAW][3,4,5]_DEMOD_I_GAIN to 1, because they are set to zero by the camera servo guardian). 

The first attachment is how the ADS error signals looked before I made any changes to the A2L gains for EX, EY, or IX. This is after Gabriele adjusted IY in alog 71588

The second attachment is after I adjusted two of the P2L gains (the only two I ended up changing), to get the ADS error signals closer to zero.

The third attachment is the SDFs that I saved in the Observe.snap, that I did not put into lscparams/ISC_LOCK, so will need to be re-accpeted next lock at the values that guardian will set them to.

The fourth attachment is a comparison of the spectra (Brown before I changed any A2Ls, Red after), where I don't see much of a difference, but maybe Brown is better-ish anyway, which is why I'm planning to leave the A2Ls alone in the guardian.  But, we'll be able to see throughout this lock whether there is a change worth making.

Overview of H1_MANAGER operation

I'd like to start running the H1_MANAGER for the next few days in a testing phase. We can watch it and see what it does, then make tweaks as needed. The idea behind this node is to determine whether or not an initial alignment needs to be run and to flag for help when a human should intervene. Here's a quick rundown on how it works:

There are three main states that users will select: LOW_NOISE, IDLE, INIT.

To Engage the node - Select LOW_NOISE, then click INIT. It should determine if we are relocking, running an alignment, or if we are already in low noise.

To Diable the node - Select IDLE. Verify it gets there.

If the node has determined that it needs help, it will enter the ASSISTANCE_REQ state and it will stay there until someone does the following:

To Re-enage from ASSISTANCE_REQ - Select INIT, then select your final desired state.

I had tried disabling H1_MANAGER while it was in RUNNING_ALIGNMENT by selecting IDLE, and also by selecting IDLE and then INIT, but neither worked in that situation. We had to pause H1_MANAGER to be able to get out of INITIAL_ALIGNMENT (was stuck at AQUIRE_SRY and kept forcing us into initial alignment).
Once we were sure that we had the detector moving up through the locking sequence well, we wanted to try re-enabling H1_MANAGER hopefully without it taking us back into RUNNING_ALIGNMENT, so while it was still Paused, we selected LOW_NOISE and then INIT, and then unpaused it and it went straight to LOW_NOISE and everything went well after that!
