Not a show stopper, but darn unfortunate for a variety of reasons. After installing the glass PR3, I noted that you cannot easily adjust the middle mass AOSEM positions. After a call to LLO to confer, I discovered that they reworked the brackets just before installation of their PR3! Fortunately they made 1 set extra, so it was overnighted our way. The unfortunate part is that I need to remove 8 silver plated screws from the awkward position on the inside of the cage over the optic, rework the bracket assemblies, and then reinstall them. The attached picture shows the "old" brackets - a circle indicates the captured adjutment screw.
A second set of modified brackets is coming to Betsy today. Janeen
Attached are plots of dust counts > .3 microns and > .5 microns in particles per cubic foot requested from 5 PM Feb. 13 to 5 PM Feb 14. Also attached are plots of the modes to show when they were running/acquiring data. Data was taken from h1nds0. 1440.0 minutes of trend displayed
Go the Last two Corners Leveled today with help from Mitchell and Ed. I'll report tomorrow on position changes. HAM1 HEPI has now been relocked. I also spent a lot of time securing the electronics cabling. After one round of cleaning and bolt loosening, I found several of the L4C cables unplugged. They had not been secured, my fault, so I dressed and secured them much better than they had been.
Attached PR2 and MC2 power spectra for a safety check. Ran after some installation work on HAM2, where the ISI table have been incidentally moved and the optics might have touched the earthquake stops.
Richard fixed a short on the HEPI pump controller. The fire department was testing smoke detectors in the OSB and at end X. Dust counts in the optics labs were elevated as a result of tests in these rooms. Hugh worked on HEPI L4C leveling at HAM1. Dale took a group of college students from WSU on a tour, including into the LVEA. Apollo removed the rigid section of spool BE-3A. Hugo took pictures of HAM3 from the north side. Michael R. tested turning of an AC unit in the H1 PSL enclosure. Greg worked at HAM5.
I did a quick temperature test of the PSL room today, shutting off one AC unit (ACN) and seeing if the other unit could hold the temperature of the room steady. It could not. I turned the other unit back on after about an hour and the room temperature as returned to normal. The spike in the attached plot shows the temperature excursion.
We removed the rigid section of spool BE-3A and placed hard covers on each end and placed on pallets. We laid both of these sections down for safe storage. Hard covers were placed on the flanges of bsc 2 and ham 3 as well. We loosened all of the door bolts on ham 2 after a 1st cleaning and plan on removing those doors tomorrow.
We pulled the soft cover off the North side of HAM3, and took a series of pictues in the chamber.
These pictures will be used to asses the state of the ISI payload when we measured the ISI transfer functions for the Viton Pads Efficiency Investigation.
Cheryl, Hugo,
The attached .pdf file shows what was installed on HAM3-ISI as of yesterday, which is the configuration we ran the IMC test under. All the small optics mentionend in the top-level drawing are installed here
Attached phase 2b power spectra for PR3. The two first pdfs show a comparison of the power spectra between L1-PR3 (June 2012),X1-PR3 (June 2012) and H1-PR3 (Feb 2013) respectively damping off and damping on. The three others show the effect of damping for the top, middle and lower masses of PR3 New power spectra will be taken tomorrow since Betsy has to change some of the OSEMs.
New power spectra have been taken after Betsy changed the "unfortunates brackets"
The attached plots show comparison between H1 PR3 (Feb 15th 2013 after changing the brackets) H1 PR3(Feb 14th 2013 before changing the brackets) X1 PR3 (June 2012) and L1 PR3 (June 2012)
**Looking at M2 and M3 Pitch from ALL_Spectra_Doff, some peaks appear to be shifted from the other curves. (~1Hz --> ~1.2Hz and ~3Hz --> ~3.2Hz)
Will run power spectra overnight and will compare it tomorrow
Mark and Arnaud Betsy wanted to set the M2 OSEMs on the beamsplitter so we logged the open light voltages and calculated the gains and offsets. prettyOSEMgains(logOLs('H1','BSTST'),'BSTST') M2UL 25262 1.188 -12631 M2LL 24175 1.241 -12088 M2UR 24464 1.226 -12232 M2LR 20926 1.434 -10463

The Mid-Y entry bay is now full up with TCS optical enclosure equipment. Thanks to Rodney and Ski for helping me get it all moved in.
HAM-ISIs and (HAM)-HEPIs use the latest version their respective master models.
- Revision 3734 for HAM-ISI
- Revision 3774 for (HAM)-HEPI
Unit-specific models were updated with the $Id$ and $HeadURL$ tags for the following units:
- H1: HAM2-ISI
- H1: HAM3-ISI
- H1: HAM1-HPI
- H1: HAM2-HPI
- H1: HAM3-HPI
svn propset was performed. Unit-specific models were re-compiled, restarted and commited to the SVN. Tags got updated with the proper fields (see atachement for example). These tags will automatically be updated at every svn commit from now on.
Note: We were running on an old HAM-ISI master model to avoid perturbating the IMC test. Channel rates were updated since, which required a DAQ restart. DAQ restart was performed today around 3.15pm by Dave Barker.
Leak testing done @ X-end with the exception of the viewports which I should be able to get to tomorrow -> Discovered that the gate valve which isolates IP12 is leaking > 3 x 10-7 torr*l/sec and will need to be addressed at some point.
- Fire department at MX and EX
- Dust alarm: EX_DST1_1, EX_DST1_5 ("INVALID" values)
- CDS alarm: H1:SUSB6-SUS-ETMY--CPU-MAX (Dave said is a bug)
- SUS alarm OSEM5 - OSEM6: Mark explain that this is a special situation when systems are not in vacuum
- PSL alarm: H1:PSL-ENV_LASERRM_ACN_TEMP_DEGf (Michael took over)
- Hugo restarted several models: HAM1,2,3; HEPI; etc.
- Dave restart DAC
Welding finished Tuesday; system pressured tested with argon. One leak was found near HAM4 and was repaired this afternoon. The system (LVEA Portion) is up to 125psi and holding. Will sit at this for a couple days to make sure there are no small leaks. The Actuator Hoses still need to be connected to the 4-way valves at HAM6 NW corner. Otherwise, all connections on the hardline side are permanent. We will do a check round of confirming the Actuator Hose connections to the 4-way valves are tight and next week we'll start flushing the hardline side. I'll report in a couple days on the pressure test. Meanwhile, as usual, do not operate any valves on the HEPI system.
[Stuart A, Jeff B] Jeff reported issues running the automated Matlab TFs on his triple test-stand. I logged in remotely, but could not reproduce the errors he was seeing. So I have set Matlab TFs to run overnight on the LHO triple test stand. They will commence at ~8pm (CT) 6pm (PT), and run for approximately 8 hours. While configuring these to run I noted that the x1sushxts model had been restored with the incorrect HLTS settings, so I re-configured for a HSTS and have taken a safe BURT snapshot. n.b. please ensure watchdogs are un-tripped before leaving
Betsy and Deepak put the PRM and PR3 M2 and M3 OSEMs into the OL condition and I logged them. The values with corresponding gains and offsets are as follows: >> prettyOSEMgains(logOLs('H1','PRM'),'PRM') ... M2UL 24227 1.238 -12113 M2LL 25363 1.183 -12682 M2UR 25248 1.188 -12624 M2LR 26266 1.142 -13133 M3UL 24755 1.212 -12377 M3LL 24556 1.222 -12278 M3UR 26514 1.131 -13257 M3LR 25374 1.182 -12687 >> prettyOSEMgains(logOLs('H1','PR3'),'PR3') ... M2UL 17618 1.703 -8809 M2LL 20217 1.484 -10109 M2UR 18644 1.609 -9322 M2LR 17674 1.697 -8837 M3UL 17262 1.738 -8631 M3LL 22811 1.315 -11406 M3UR 24286 1.235 -12143 M3LR 17108 1.754 -8554
We had probably set these before since these numbers were very close to the ones found in the medm. Nonetheless, we updated the medm fields with these numbers and then set the AOSEMs to 50% OLV. Mark and Arnaud have been obtaining spectra for PR3 and PRM, one of the last measurements to conclude Phase 2b testing.
[Kiwamu, Paul]
Just before the vent today we measured new noise spectra for the frequency and length feedback paths.
The 'whitening filters' in the IMC_X path (see Giacomo's LHO alog entry 5311) were not engaged. They were put in the model at LLO in an attempt to combat the digital noise in IMC_X above ~50Hz (see Anamaria's LLO alog entry 5821) but need to be taken account of when plotting the data.
We corrected the IMC_F frequency to length calibration to give the equivalent motion of MC2, instead of the equivalent round trip length change. This has now been edited in the filter bank for the IMC_X path; the FtoL filter has been changed to a DC gain of 5.8465e-14 (dX=df x lambda/(2FSR)).
Relevant paramters during the measurement:
Common mode gain 20dB
Common mode filters: Compensation and 1st Boost
Fast gain -2dB
Slow path bypassed offsets and filters
MC2 M3 lock gain -1000, engaged filters: 150:4 and CLP100
MC2 M2 lock gain 0.06, engaged filters: 0.01:0.1, 0.03:1, Stab8:2, 300:1 and ELF80
Damping filter: resg and Ellip50 (the filter in IMC_X path was switched to the wresg filter to reflect this change)
Jeff quite rightly pointed out that there are actually 2 more filter banks in the length path for the IMC which I didn't mention in the above post.
One of these is the H1:IMC_L bank, with the following 3 filters engaged and with Gain=1: antiWhite, roll3notch and bouncenotch.
The other bank is the H1:LSC-IMC bank, with 1 blank filter engaged with Gain=1. I'm not sure yet what the purpose of this bank is but would happy to know if someone else does! I'll try to get a signal flow chart up here soon, though it may be a little trickier from off-site.
I was revisiting this measurement and I thought it might be useful to add the PSL frequency noise requirement line for comparison (see attached).
