Attached are plots of dust counts > .3 microns and > .5 microns in particles per cubic foot.
In attachment, spectra of the geophones installed in BSC6 and BSC8 are presented with their noise floor are shown in two configurations:
- ISI damped (only BSC6)
- ISI controlled (L4C blend at 250mHz)
Below 100mHz, in the case of the damping, T240s are in their noise floor for the rotation DOFs and largely above their noise floor for the translation DOFs. GS13s installed on stage 2 are in their noise floor for all DOFs. Consequently, it is difficult to evaluate the actual amplification of the absolute motion of the optical tables between the damped and the isolated configuration. The amplification might be higher than 10, maybe 50?
At EY, when the HEPI-ISI isolation filters are engaged, the optical levers are seeing mainly translation of the test mass and amplification of the "apparent tilt" in pitch and yaw is 50.
Three-point spreader and walking plates finally made it from Y-end to the corner in the horse trailer. Both items got a good wipe down and were used today. The walking plates were installed by the Apollo crew (Randy, Mark, Scott,Eddy) so that work can begin at the BSC dome flange height. I went into the chamber to retrieve witness plates late this afternoon. We'll look at them when we get a chance.
Mark B. Trying more BSFM02 TFs with higher drive levels for better coherence and slightly reduced gains copied from L1 (as optimised there by Anamaria). If the suspension starts getting dismantled in the middle of it, too bad, so sad.
Mark B. Got L and P data and then the suspension went away.
Attached are plots of dust counts > .3 microns and > .5 microns in particles per cubic foot. I got errors when I tried to include plots of the dust counts at end Y, so these are not included.
I worked on the code for the dust monitors. This repeatedly interrupted the data read from the dust monitors at end Y between 9:09 AM and 6:04 PM. The code is reverted back to the code in svn. It is about complete and I hope to install it tomorrow.
Mark B. Resuming work on BSFM02. Will take damped and undamped TFs and damped and undamped spectra.
Mark B. Done for the day. Undamped TF data is 2012-09-26_1900_X1SUSBSFM02_M1_*_WhiteNoise.xml, and damped TF data is 2012-09-26_2000_X1SUSBSFM02_M1_*_WhiteNoise.xml . Plots for these data set are appended. I've added the appropriate lines to plotallbsfm_tfs.m and committed it but I haven't run it - I want to check that it does the right thing with data taken on H2 but filed as X1. Spectra time segment starts are startTimeRef.gps = 1032753893; % GPS Start Time Damping OFF startTimeRes.gps = 1032752625; % GPS Start Time Damping ON I still need to generate plots for these and the ones earlier today, but as mentioned previously, first I have to modify plotbsfm_spectraBSFM02.m to accept X1 data (the script it's based on was hard-wired to L1/H1/H2).
Mark B. Here the comparison plot with all the BSFM02 data plus some for the real H2 FMY and X2 BSFM06. The noise in the BSFM02 data sets is rather worse than X2 BSFM06 (but comparable to H2 FMY), so it looks like we don't have the best drive parameters. However it does look like noise and there don't seem to be any significant features common to the noisy bits of 2012-09-25_1100 and 2012-09-26_0900.
Mark B. After some discussion with Stuart, I processed the spectrum data from 7/26/12 morning and evening two ways. First I used a custom plotbsfm_spectraBSFM02.m to process it as X1/BSFM02/BUILD01 with tags of 2012-09-26_0900 (morning) and 2012-09-26_1900 (evening) with names like ^/trunk/BSFM/X1/BSFM02/BUILD01/SAGM*/Results/2012-09-26_*900_X1SUSBSFM02BUILD01H2:SUS-FMY_*.pdf So if anyone is looking for the data by following the directory structure in the usual fashion for a Phase 1b test, appropriate plots will be there. The captions in these plots also specify X1 BSFM02 primarily and H2 FMY secondarily. We also used the stock plotbsfm_spectra.m to process the data purely as H2:FMy with names like ^trunk/BSFM/H2/FMY/SAGM*/Results/2012-09-26_1900_H2SUSFMY_*.pdf This is so that it can be found by the stock version of plotallbsfm_spectra.m, which Stuart felt was too much hassle to customize. We added two new lines to the measList section with comments to the effect that the suspension in each case was really BSFM02. Attached is a set of comparison plots with the morning and afternoon's data. Unfortunately we couldn't include the 'L1','BS','2012-09-24_1200' dataset because it doesn't seem to have been committed from LLO.
In preparation for the Acceptance review, I redid the TF plots with up-to-date comparisons.
Red: 3IFO Phase 1b undamped (2012-09-26_1900)
Pink: 3IFO Phase 1b damped (2012-09-26_2000)
Black: H1 BS Phase 3b undamped (2013-07-30_1059269030)
Orange: L1 BS Phase 3b undamped (2013-08-29_0900)
Because the data was taken on a mechanical test stand in the LVEA with other work going on around, it is somewhat noisy (especially up to about 0.6 Hz in most DOFs and throughout in P) and the damping is a bit strong, but the peaks in the undamped TFs are very clean and in exactly the right positions.
I also redid the spectra with comparisons.
Green: 3IFO BS 2012-09-26_0900
Red: 3IFO BS 2012-09-26_1900 (later the same day)
Cyan: H1 BS 2013-02-25_1000 (on BSTST test stand)
Purple: H1 BS 2013-07-24_1400
Blue: L1 BS 2013-11-27_0930
Dave restarted all models on h1sush34. Filiberto to mid Y to pick up electronics. Apollo to remove dome and door from BSC 8, place clean room on e-module and install lift jacks on the clean room for cartridge removal. I worked on dust monitor code which interrupted data read from dust monitors at end Y.
Contacted cross beam -> have one more to do (tomorrow?) on SW end of HAM3
Everything we planned to install at this stage was installed.
Picomotors are connected to the in-vac cable (we copied LLO cabling layout), which was connected to the connector bracket 3 upper floor in chamber, which is connected to the feed through. We connected the picomotor driver and the test interface to the feed through from outside, and all picomotor worked:
Pico 1 = ISC steering mirror just upstream of QPD sled.
Pico 2 = ISC steering mirror further upstream of QPD sled.
Pico 3 = IO steering mirror for IO QPD.
Pico 4 = ISC steering mirror that directs POP to HAM1.
We used a laser pointer and a hand held LCD QPD readout box to check the QPDs. Though it cannot test the output of individual quadrants, and though the laser pointer beam was too big (or, rather, QPDs were too small) to put the entire beam on one quadrant, both IO QPD and ISC QPDs seem to respond to the light reasonably.
Some IO components (e.g. IO black glasses and beam dumps and such) will be installed later.
HAM3 ISC SLED pictures:
HAM3 current state: IO and ISC optics Still to do/install: - install IO beam dumps on MC Trans - install Scraper Baffles - remove FC from 2 IO optics - install black glass - align
IO mirrors - before cabling Picos.
The Apollo crew worked on the following: craned one aLIGO garbing/staging cleanroom from the beer garden to the south side of BSC8; craned an iLIGO cleanroom from by HAM6 to the E-module; removed BSC8 south door; retrieved walking plates and three-point spreader from Y-end; and located bang boards for cleanroom use. Karen and Cris cleaned both garbing/staging cleanrooms. I staged a few things (garbing rack, staging table, foil, etc.) in the lower level cleanroom.
Walking plates and three-point spreader did not make it to the corner after all. >-(
Mark B. Need to get a set of TFs for BSFM02 with damping on. Starting now.
Mark B. Done for now. Successfully took a set of damped TFs with time label "0900". I noticed at the end of the first attempt that the M1 and User DACKILL WDs had tripped. Looking at trends put the event at 10:18 local, which was just after the third drive file had been saved, so I redid T, V and Y, overwriting the original files. See attached for plots. I also identified 20 minute data stretches for damped and undamped spectra: startTimeRef.gps = 1032727669; % GPS Start Time Damping OFF startTimeRes.gps = 1032726356; % GPS Start Time Damping ON Again, because BSFM02 is being tested on H2 not X1, I had to create a custom plotting script, plotbsfm_spectraBSFM02.m. It currently has one bug/misfeature to do with saving the plots (it only saves plots for L1, H1 and H2), but I've committed it for now anyway and will work on it more later. I plan to return this evening to repeat all measurements in quiet time.
There seems to be some pretty good Vertical to Pitch coupling we need to hunt down tomorrow on this sus. TFs look OK in some DOFs, but not this one.
We've corrected for some observed pitch error in the tablecloth which mounts the top BOSEMs. This has seemingly corrected the P-V coupling so I'll rerun the TFs tonight-ish.
35W beam. The laser room HEPAs, lights, and AC units were turned off and the make up air was set to 50% for these measurements. The anteroom lights and HEPAs were still on.
Pointing file didn't upload, I attached it here.
This was supposed to be posted by me...
