Models for lsc, mc1 and mc3 have been modified after Keita and Chris reported an issue (aLog 6510)

lsc model : edited h1lsc.mdl to add IPC ouputs H1:LSC-MC1_L_SUSMC1 and H1:LSC-MC3_L_SUSMC3 (first screenshot)

mc1 and mc3 : edited h1susmc1.mdl and h1susmc3.mdl to receive the new LSC signals and some ASC IPC signals already being generated by h1ascimc.mdl (second and third screenshots)

The L/P/Y values are now set to zeros, since no signal is being sent from LSC (fourth screenshot)

The h1susbs and h1susitmy models stopped running at 15:06:44 PDT May 28, due to an ADC Timeout error.  The h1iopsusb123 model had a large IRIG-B error.

Killed models, restarted the IOP, and then started the h1susbs and h1susitmy models.  They all started without error.

I have fixed the broken cable (alog #6514) which is for the segment 2 of IMC-WFS_B. So next time when the beam is available one will have to re-adjust the demod phase for this segment.

Our spare diode chiller died over the weekend, bringing down the PSL. We believed we traced it back to a broken water sensor inside the chiller. After removing the part we verified we could not spin the turbines inside it and could not get a signal out of it. We have ordered a new part which should arrive tomorrow. As both our diode chillers are down at the moment, the PSL will remain off until this new part can be installed.

The orientation of the QPD for PR3 is:
 
| 4 | 1 |     | 
|---+---|     | +PITCH      <--- +YAW 
| 2 | 3 |     v 
 
This is different than the test mass optical levers because mechanical interferences do not allow us to mount the QPD in a consistent orientation. The OL2EUL matrix is set up to reflect the SUS convention for pitch and yaw as shown above. 

I took measurements two separate ways in order to map out the linear response of this optical lever: 
1) The first was the standard usage of the micrometer on the stepper-motor which the QPD is mounted to and I was able to correlate the pitch and yaw signal on the QPD to what we would see in the tilt of the optic. 
2) The second method is the use of the actuators and OSEMS on the suspension and correlate the readings on the QPD and the readings on the OSEMS. PR3 is one of the few optics which allow us to make this measurement since there are OSEMS on the bottom stage that directly measure the main optic. 




Graphs are attached to show the results: 
Micrometer_measurements:
slope_p = 38.86
slope_y = 38.53

OSEM_measurements:
slope_p = 33.29
slope_y = 31.64

Comparing the two:
Pitch: 100*(38.86 - 33.29)/38.83 = 14.345%

Yaw:   100*(38.53 - 31.64)/38.53 = 17.882%


Although both of these methods yield similar results, I'm not sure what uncertainties would be found in exploring the shadow sensors and the actuators.  Calculating the uncertainties explicitly with the manufacturer's tolerance and estimating the lever arm uncertainty, I get the uncertainty of using the micrometer to measure angular displacment at 2.5%.  Note: PR3's optical lever receiver is almost directly above the transmitter (zeemax says it's 89.99 degrees from the horizontal line); this could explain why measurements in pitch agree much better than yaw. All in all I have added the gain to the MEDMs:
- H1SUS-PR3_M3_OPLEV_PITCH_GAIN = 38.86
- H1SUS-PR3_M3_OPLEV_YAW_GAIN = 38.53

All measurements were done with HEPI locked and the ISI damping with the ST1 DAMP loops.  Suspension damping was also turned on at the top M1 stage, for the actuation to get the OSEM measurements, I used the top mass actuators as well.

As a bonus treat, I've attached a calibrated spectra of the optical levers and the OSEMS.

After morning meeting, when the decision was taken to delay the PCal installation, we concentrated on other X End-related work. 
-The spool piece was moved from the VEA to X Mid.
-The ceiling framework from the Cryo-Pump Baffle (CPB) Cleanroom (CR) (henceforth referred to as the CPB CR) was moved into the High Bay this morning and taken down to X End this afternoon.
-A first-attempt cleaning process for fan-filter units (FFUs) from the CPB CR was agreed on. We may need to modify the process after we check FFU cleanliness.
-The 10 FFUs from the CPB CR were moved from the LVEA to the High Bay. A couple were eventually moved outside for blow-off with clean compressed air obtained from the Chamber Cleaning compressors.
-Bubba and I measured and took pix of the clear space from the spool area to the BSC cleanroom wall to ascertain whether it is possible to assemble the CPB in that clear and clean space (~7'x 16'). It would save us at least one cleanroom pick if this is plan is acceptable to the baffle types. Pix below.
-We provided some support to Rick and Craig for the PCal install tooling fit check.
-The PCal periscope was left in its crate but turned to a vertical orientation in the X End Receiving area and secured. This will allow staging to continue unimpeded by the crate but keep the periscope protected until the new install date, ~10 June 2013.

Two new DNS servers have been installed for the CDS network, ns0 and ns1.  These will be the (redundant) pair of DNS servers that will provide name resolution to all CDS hosts.  ns0 is configured as the master for the cds.ligo-wa.caltech.edu domain (only used internally by CDS), ns1 is a slave server for the same domain and will automatically receive zone updates from ns0.  Since a large number of workstations and servers are configured to use cdsfs0 for domain lookups, cdsfs0 will continue to serve DNS requests, but has been converted to be a slave server like ns1 so that updates only need to occur on a single server.  cdsfs0 was previously the master for the internal cds zones.  At some point in the future, this functionality will be turned off completely on cdsfs0.  The zone files themselves have also been refactored and cleaned up to correct some minor issues and facilitate ease of future maintenance.

After taking phase 3b spectra on ETMY (see aLog 6432). Several rounds of transfer functions have been running last week for the main and reaction chain of ETMY, with and without the damping.

During each of the measurements the ISI was in its damped state.

The first 4 attached files are respectively showing comparisons between :

• M0 model (fiber) vs M0 damping off (2013-05-21)
• M0 model (fiber) vs M0 damping on (2013-05-21)
• R0 model (erm) vs M0 damping off (2013-05-23)
• R0 model (erm) vs M0 damping on (2013-05-24)

The 2 following attached files allquads_2013_05_28_Phase3b_H1SUSETMY_ALL_TFs.pdf and allquads_2013_05_28_Phase3b_H1SUSETMY_ALL_ZOOMED_TFs.pdf are showing comparisons between :

• page 1 to 6 : M0 model (fiber) vs H1 damping off (2013 May 21^st, isi damped, phase3b) vs H1 damping off (2012 November 20^th isi damped, phase 3b) vs LHO damping on (2013 May 21^st, isi damped, phase 3b)
• page 7 to 12 : R0 model (erm) vs H2 damping off (2012 May 25^th, isi floating, phase 3a) vs H1 damping off (2013 May 23^rd, isi damped, phase 3b) vs H1 damping on (2013 May 24^th, isi damped)

Conclusion :

The last transfer functions taken on ETMY for M0 and R0 are showing a good agreement with models and previous measurements. R0 pitch looks different than the model because of the stiffness added by the cables.

Waist is 526mm from the second lens, L3.

We assembles the Pcal Installation Entry Pad assembly this morning and did a fit check while the C3 fabric cover was on the opening of the A7 Adapter.

Everything seems to fit up as expected.

We left the assembly, including the teflon Installation Highway Strips (D1300493) in the opening of the A7 Adapter.

We plan to return on June 10 to continue with the Pcal installation.

Hopefully we will have fabricated a set of properly-fitting flange protectors for the A7 Adapter flange by then.  We will make a set for LLO too.

In the standard configuration file stddir.py, the path to the "root" library has been changed from /ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/root/lib/root to /ligo/apps/linux-x86_64/root/lib, since that is where the library files actually reside.

After Chris, Jax and Volker worked on PZT, we moved to WFS.

The first trouble we noticed was the issue with MC1 and MC3 model mentioned in the earlier alog.

The second trouble was that we didn't get any sensible signal from segment 2 of WFSB.

It turned out that the RF cable for that segment on ISCT2L was broken at the connector on the WFS head. The metal sleeve thing was loose and would rattle when touched, and it was really easy to gently pull the cable out of the connector jacket.

We left the broken cable on the table and put a temporary cable in, and the segment started behaving. After this, we set the demod phase of WFSA and WFSB correctly by wiggling MC3 PIT.

Starting another set of M0/R0 TFs on ETMx, this time with the new M0F1 OSEM and with damped TFs as well.
