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.
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.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 2mph Gusts, 1mph 3min avg

QUICK SUMMARY:
IFO is in NLN and OBSERVING as of 14:14 UTC.
Looks like we got to NLN at 13:30 UTC but IFO couldn't go to OBSERVING, which caused guardian to call OWLOperator (Tony) - alog 81643
FYI: the PRM camera (h1cam13) is offline for Robert's HAM2 viewport work. Its image is blue-screen on the FOM.

STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ibrahim
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.
Sheila, Camilla
Looking into last night's issues, there were two sets of sdfs that stopped us going into observing:
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.

INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan S
SHIFT SUMMARY: The day started with Calibration and commissioning, with a commissioning lock loss. Recovery was striaght forward, then a large 7.0 earthquake off the coast of CA took us down for 4 hours. Recovery here was also straight forward. Observing for 1.5 hours.

STATE of H1: Observing at 156Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: TJ
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 1mph Gusts, 0mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.03 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.19 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY: H1 recovered easily after the earlier EQ and has been observing for just over an hour.
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.
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.
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.

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.
