OPS Eve Shift Summary

TITLE: 09/27 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan C
SHIFT SUMMARY:

IFO is LOCKING at ENGAGE_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO. Fully auto so far...

Shift was mostly quiet. Despite locking issues today, IFO locked pretty automatically following Tony's initial alignment. We did lose lock during LOWNOISE_ESD_ETMX (558). Though, guardian brought it to NLN shortly after and we were in observing swiftly.

In terms of PI modes, there was one very harsh ringup 23 minutes into NLN (or 34 mins after MAX_POWER). This gave 3 verbal PI 24 alarms but the damping, even though at maximum, was able to bring it down. No other ringups.

There was one lockloss 04:08 UTC. probably attributed to the environment and rising secondary microseism/over 35mph wind combo - alog 80323.

TCS Work from today has 2 SDF Diffs (screenshot attached).
