Continuing the coil balancing work that Jeff and Arnauld did yesterday. I have done here M2 stage of SR2 this was not done yesterday. 1.- Verifyed that all required lock-in processing filters were ON. 2.- Locking output channels are on the same range. 3.- 3.1.- Set SR2 M2 Control State Request to -2 so that I can do the next step. NOTE: Remember to switch it back to 1!!!! 3.2.- Turned off all compensation filters in COILOUTF. 4.- Both Oscillators on NOTE: Remember to turn them off by setting AMP=0 5.- LKIN EXC On at stage M2 of SR2 and then set the matrix to achieve proper feedback to magnets for balancing purposes. 6.- Tuning the demo-phase for Y and P by minimizing abs(Q): Original Phases: Phase_Y=161.74; Phase_P=164.115 Tuned Phases: Phase_Y=163.54; Phase_P=166.45 7.- Now fine tuning: After averaging for 100 seconds I get with the above tuned demo-phase: Channel Mean Std H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT 1104.20497833 0.332317132033 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT 0.997568668202 0.428787676432 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT -485.891039524 0.261111721554 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT 0.739719299972 0.498529072505 8.- Perturbed coil balance by 5% in Pitch: Channel Mean Std H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT 1156.16758125 0.324685473794 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT 1.66253609359 0.314431576323 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT -405.540709152 0.274492558317 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT -1.65497177806 0.573910162496 9.- Comparing above results as before and after the big pitch perturbation we obtain dPhi_YAW = -1.707, this gives a New YAW Phase = 161.83 10.- After setting the new YAW Phase as per previous calculation we return coil balance gains to +/-1 and then perturbe coil balance by 5% in Yaw, I notice that the output of Q-phase on Yaw did not change with the perturbation as expected: Channel Mean Std H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT 944.4481493 0.393270410188 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT -3.35177160591 0.567144372485 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT -509.039515724 0.372769193576 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT 2.36198258422 0.446590390439 Comparing above results as 'before' and 'after' the big yaw perturbation we obtain dPhi_PITCH = 1.5595, this gives a New PITCH Phase = 168.01 11.- After changing the PITCH demo-phase as above and restoring the COILOUTF gains to +/-1 we capture final numbers: Channel Mean Std H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT 1102.94240685 0.378145395519 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_P_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT -28.4297279441 0.508022797023 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_I_OUTPUT -486.409383831 0.347574279778 H1:SUS-SR2_LKIN_Y_DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT -1.32919580463 0.186111871061 12.- After careful tuning of the coil balance gains these are the final values: IMPORTANT: The tunning of the UL coil has no effect at all on the output signals which may indicate that the coil is actually not connected. H1:SUS-SR2_M2_COILOUTF_UL_GAIN 1 H1:SUS-SR2_M2_COILOUTF_LL_GAIN -1.95 H1:SUS-SR2_M2_COILOUTF_UR_GAIN -1.26 H1:SUS-SR2_M2_COILOUTF_LR_GAIN 0.09 13.- During the measurements to quantify the improvement in balance something happened that changed a lot the values of DEMOD_Q_OUTPUT for both Pitch and Yaw. Certainly this affected very negatively the performance measurements. Based on this and on the issue regarding the unresponsive UL coil, I SHALL REDO M2 AGAIN TOMORROW.
