running bruco, new instructions

The way that I used to run bruco didn't work for me today.  With help from Elenna and Camilla I was able to run it, so here is what I did:

ssh into ssh.ligo.org, select 4 for LHO cluster and c for ldas.pcdev1

made a fresh clone of https://git.ligo.org/gabriele-vajente/bruco in a directory called new_bruco

cd /home/sheila.dwyer/new_bruco/bruco

python -m bruco --ifo=H1 --channel=GDS-CALIB_STRAIN_CLEAN --gpsb=1417500178 --length=400 --outfs=4096 --fres=0.1 --dir=/home/sheila.dwyer/public_html/brucos/GDS_1417500178 --top=100 --webtop=20 --plot=html --nproc=20 --xlim=7:2000 --excluded=share/lho_excluded_channels_O4.txt

The bruco now appears at: https://ldas-jobs.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/~sheila.dwyer/brucos/GDS_1417500178/

This is for a quiet time overnight last night.

Input jitter does have a contribution, as Robert suspected based on looking at the DARM spectrum.  Jenne looked at cleaning, and plans to try out a new cleaning during Monday's commissoning window.

CDS alarm status during CP1 fill

Note to Operators: During the CP1 fill (which starts daily at 10am) the CDS ALARM system shows RED because the LN2 Liquid Level Control Valve (LLCV) is ramped up to 100% open. The alarm system puts this channel into alarm when its value exceeds 50%. This alarm should clear within 1 minute of the end of the fill.

SHIFT SUMMARY:
LOG:
H1 called me to help with SDF issues.
SUS ETMX and ITMX SDFs

These seemed like they were changed randomly in the night but also seemed like that may have unlocked the IFO if reverted so I accepted them.
But now that i'm looking back at Francisco's Alog I think some may have been intentional.
 

More than 1 IFO H1 call tonight:
H1 Called me earlier in the night and I slept though the calls because I did not realise my phone was not properly set up for this owl shift before I went to sleep.

camilla.compton@LIGO.ORG - 09:29, Friday 06 December 2024 (81646)

Sheila, Camilla

Looking into last night's issues, there were two sets of sdfs that stopped us going into observing:

  • L2L gain: this was changed in lscparams but ISC_LOCK was not loaded so the sdf was accepted as the new value but the guardians set us back to the old value when we relocked.
    • Francisco has added notes to the 81630 code to remember to edit lscparams, reload ISC_LOCK and accept in sdf.
  • TRAMPS: The new SCAN_ALIGNEMENT code 81597 had hard coded TRMAPs of 3 when nominal is 2. Only X arm ran scan alignment so the sdf diffs were only in TSMX and ETMX. 
    • Sheila checked the code doesn't depend on them and edited ALS_ARM.py to set these SCAN_ALIGNEMENT TRAMPS to 2s.

If we loose lock today we need to: load ISC_LOCK and ALS_XARM and ISC_LOCK  and accept 198.6 as the H1:SUS-ETMX_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L_GAIN and the TRAMPs as 2s. If we don't loose lock by the end of the day we should drop out of observing, change the L2L and TRAMPS, reload   guardians and accept sdf.

Back to Observing 2308UTC

Recovered after the 7.0 earthquake off of the coast of CA. Recovery was basically automatic, the only thing I did was untrip ISIs and SUS watch dogs when I could, and tell guardian when to start initial alignment.

Initially we went into Observing but Francisco realized that his his from earlier today (alog81630) didn't make it in. We updated lscparams.py with the new value and the Observe.snap. The safe.snap was saved at a value of 1.0, so we must be relying on ISC_LOCK to make the change.

One other SDF was found from the pico H delay. This was unmonitored.

DARM boost removed because of glitch when ramping it off

Camilla, Sheila, help from CDS team

We've been having some locklosses during the ESD transitions, some of them seem to be related to a large glitch that happens at the end of the 10 second output ramp time when DARM1 FM1 (a boost) is turned off in preparation to switch back to ETMX control where the boosts are in the pum rather than the DARM bank. 

Erik and Jonathan told us that since the filter ramp is linear, it's not suprising that there is a discontinuity when the ramp time ends.  They have opened a ticket after a discussion about ways to avoid this: 667

We could make this better by increasing the ramp time, but we want to keep this state short because of a slow instability we can get if we wait here: 81430

For now we've removed the boost which was being turned on in the state DARM offset before the ASC gets engaged, during the power up. The attachments compare the ESD drives with and without this filter being ramped off, the glitch is gone.

IMC Gain redistribution added back to ISC_LOCK

At Sheila's suggestion, I've turned the IMC gain redistribution back on in LASER_NOISE_SUPPRESSION, ISC_LOCK state number 575. Just a reminder, this is the code (lines 5793-5806 now):

       if self.counter ==5 and self.timer['wait']:
            if self.gain_increase_counter <7:  #icrease the imc fast gain by this many dB
                #redistribute gain in IMC servo so that we don't saturate splitmon in earth quakes, JW DS SED
                #setting this to not change the gain sliders October 9, because Camilla saw that the IMC locklosses that we think are due to laser glitches started happening on the day we did this gain redistribution. alog 80561
                ezca['IMC-REFL_SERVO_IN1GAIN'] -= 1
                ezca['IMC-REFL_SERVO_IN2GAIN'] -= 1
                ezca['IMC-REFL_SERVO_FASTGAIN'] += 1
                time.sleep(0.1)
                self.gain_increase_counter +=1
            else:
                self.counter +=1
        
        if self.counter >= 6 and self.timer['wait']:
            return True

This can be turned off by setting changing gain_increase_counter <0, on line 5794. If we are losing lock during this state we should turn it off again, or reduce the gain_increase_counter to <5 or something.

Changed drivealign L2L gain from kappa_tst

FranciscoL, SheilaD

Changed H1:SUS-ETMX_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L_GAIN by 3.63 % using KappaToDrivealign.py at gps 1417450784.

Script output:

Average H1:CAL-CS_TDEP_KAPPA_TST_OUTPUT is -3.6267% from 1.
Accept changes of    
H1:SUS-ETMX_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L_GAIN from 191.711517 to 198.664299
Proceed? [yes/no]
yes
Changing
H1:SUS-ETMX_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L_GAIN
H1:SUS-ETMX_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L_GAIN => 198.6643

First figure (kappa2drivealign_ndscope) is an ndscope of the relevant channels. The the second plot (top to bottom) is CAL-CS_TDEP_KAPPA_TST_OUT with a verticar marker aligned at a time where the uncertainty from CAL-CS_TDEP_PCAL_LINE3_UNCERTAINTY (third plot)  increased. This increase in uncertainty is expected from turning off lines before calibration measurement.

KAPPA_TST_OUT is around 1 from minute 5 to the marker, which is the objective of changing the drive gain.

Lab measurements:
NOTES:
PS4 PS5 measurement used for the above measurement were made on 2024-09-23.
The Measurements done in the PCAL LAB today 2024-11-26 were significantly different from the last set of measurements. Due to a drop in the voltage reported in the following plots. 
https://git.ligo.org/Calibration/pcal/-/tree/master/O4/lab/measurements/t20241126_144208_PS4_PS5_FB?ref_type=heads
https://git.ligo.org/Calibration/pcal/-/tree/master/O4/lab/measurements/t20241126_160713_PS4_PS5_BF?ref_type=heads
And I will need review these further before re-running the ES data with these newest measurements.

This maybe due to some changes in the lab. More vetting time is needed.

Ratio measurements t20241126_144415_PS4_PS5_FB and t20241126_160713_PS4_PS5_BF agree with preceding measurements within 0.02%, as seen in the top plot of the attached figure.

Top plot show the mean of each responsivity ratio measurement distinguished by the power sensor position from the laser: device_1_front/device_2_back (FB, red) or device_1_back/device_2_front (BF, blue). The error bars indicate the standard error over the mean. The rest of the plots show the mean voltage of each measurement, also separated by FB from BF. Note the change in voltage by the OFS offset from 81135, as indicated by the vertical dotted line 2 weeks before the measurement. As expected, changes in laser power did not affect the final ratio.

We should use the lab measurements intended for this ES measurement.
