h1ascimc model change and DAQ restart

Jennie, Erik, Dave:

Jennie's new h1ascimc model was installed at 13:30 Mon 05Jan2026. This required a DAQ restart to add 2 slow channels.

At 13:32 we restarted the 1-leg, followed by the 0-leg at 13:37. GDS1 did not need a restart.

Following this DAQ restart we had 3 sponaneous restarts of FW1 after it had ran for 27:48, 8:02 and 6:22 minutes respectively. At the time of writing it has been running with no further restarts for an hour.

Good news: FW1 has now been running 20 hours. Its beginning to look like the usual frame-writer-restarts-soon-after-DAQ-restart but with 3 restarts this time. We are not sure if we had seen a triple before.

Bad news: later yesterday afternoon h1daqgds0 daqd restarted itself coincident with Erik logging off of this machine. We did two more login/logout tests, the first restarted daqd the second did not. At this time is appeared to be related to the method of logging out, CTRL-D crashing daqd and "exit" not. I did another "exit" test this morning and unfortunately this time it did crash GDS0 DAQD. I restarted the 0-leg soon after (at 08:54) to resync the uptimes. So it appears to be independent of the method of logging out and is intermittent.

FRS36466 opened for this issue.

ISI CPS Noise Spectra Check - Weekly

FAMIS 27701, last checked in alog88650

The script reports high frequency noise is elevated for HAM1_V3, HAM7_V{1,2,3} which makes sense as they're vented.  ITMX_ST1_V1 also reports elevated noise, ETMX_ST1_{H1,V3} are slightly elevated at high frequency.

HAMs 1-4 are still locked and the SEI configuration for the BS is in ISOLATED_DAMPED.

Erik, Dave:

All workstations and NUCs which had been powered down during the break have been powered back up.

1. picket fence is working again.

2. I have stopped running nuc_dummy_ioc.py which was temporarily serving dummy NUC EPICS channels to the EDC

3. cds_report has been reverted to the pre-break version (it had been expecting WS to be down and NUC reported had been removed)

EX Chilled Water Supply
At 9:42p local I received a cell alert declaring a loss of chilled water supply at End X. After remotely logging into FMCS I observed that the lead chiller (1) was in alarm and the CH-1 supply temp was hovering around 54F. I've since toggled the lead lag, and manually forced chiller 2 and chilled water pump 2 on. Given the low outside air temps and the lack of temp demands that vent require, this should suffice until all return from the break where we can investigate further.

Reset ISI and HPI WDs after EQ trips earlier today

There were some SEI trips earlier today due to an earthquake. Dave went in and reset the software WDs earlier (88671), so to get the system back up to where it was before the earthquake, I went through and reset ISI and HPI to nominal for the chambers that needed them reset (aka not resetting them for the systems where we already have them down due to venting). Tony's overview and WD screenshots from Wednesday are a good reference for what state everything was in before the earthquake. This is what the OPS Overview looked like before I started resetting everything. Everything now that needed to be reset is back how it was before the earthquake (overview now).

After hours site work 1/2/26
Upcoming LN2 deliveries at x mid and x end required some tumbleweed attention this afternoon. X1 is still largely clear and x mid should be easily accessible. The earlier half of X2 is the worst area. I was able to cut a single lane to X2 before the harvester jammed up beyond what I could free by myself. What remains in the harvester chute needs a few days to dry out. As do I.

As a follow up to my previous log I checked the magmeter in the water room which meters domestic supply to the site and found a reading of 1011247.

First site inspection of the new year.

LExC is in great shape no indication of problems.

Staging building is in good shape.

VPW two ovens running and in the parameters that Chris told us.  Weld shop temperature was fine so no pipe issues.

LSB looks fine.  Tyler was in his office

OSB/LVEA everything was in order.  Kobelco running door covers billowing slightly.  No signs of problems.

Mid and Ends were fine.  

Carpenter shop/ water room fire pump room and electrical room were all fine.

FCES in great shape.  

I leave the site with, Tyler clearing a path to EX for LN2 delivery.  I am his phone buddy.

VACSTAT detected EX vacuum glitch 03:39:34 Thu 01Jan2026 PST

VACSTAT detected a small beamtube vacuum gas release originating at the EX BT-IonPump which is located at approx -300m from EX.

Pressure trend shows the pressure at PT527 increased from its baseline of 1.9e-09 to a max of 1.4e-08 Torr. Several seconds later the EX gauges showed a minimal increase when the dispersed molecules reached them.

PT527 had pumped back down to its baseline by 04:30, +50 minutes after the glitch.

VACSTAT raised a single-gauge alarm for PT527, its rate-of-rise did not trip (reached 40% of trip level) but its Delta-P did trip (reached130% of trip level).

At 08:39 I restarted the vacstat_ioc.service on cdsioc0 to clear this alarm. As before, HAM1's gauge is currently set to disabled.

Need model restart in week of Jan 5th to correct JAC/IMC models

Jennie W, Dave B,

 

Jeff and I put in a bypass in the h1ascimc model (see alog #88465) so we could put in the simulink infrastructure to switch between using the PSL periscope PZT as part of the IMC control or as part of the JAC control.

At the moment the switch 'H1:ASC-IMCJAC_PZTOUTSW' is set to ON which should let the IMC servo use the PZT.

However the logic I put in will not switch the feedback to take inputs from the JAC servo if I turn the switch off.

This is because Choice 2 and 3 in the picture are set to pass their first input if the switch output is '>= 0', so whichever state it is in the IMC PZT output will be sent to the DAC.

I have changed these choices to >0 so that the top input (IMC PZT output signal) will be sent to the DAC if the switch is 1 and the bottom input (JAC PZT output signal) will be sent to the periscope otherwise.

I committed the changed /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/asc/h1/models/h1ascimc.mdl to the svn.

I also added two cdsepicsOutput blocks (ASC-PSL_PZT_P and ASC-PSL_PZT_Y) before the DAC outputs going to the PZT to check what the model is sending to the PZT which will help us double check the switch between IMC and JAC signals works correctly.
See screenshot attached. I rebuilt h1ascimc.mdl and committed it to the svn at userapps/asc/h1/models.
