Attached are scans from Scott Lorimer's(Apollo) log book.  These graphically depict the plan view location of the elevation control available at the EndY and tabulates their value.  Nominally we would survey the BSC chamber (in this case BSC6) at the manufacturer's 90° marks on the B nozzles (BSC 60" door) (which we did) and then set the datum zero to the average of these eight elevations.  I elected to not do the latter as the average was less than 0.2mm approaching the noise of the measurements.  So the current end station elevation datum is zero at the South horizontal scribe of the East B nozzle.  Otherwise, use the elevation numbers from the table (in millimeters) to start your vertical survey.
Note, BM#101 is North of BSC10 and not seen on the plan view.

There was no TMS spectra posted to alog after it was transported to the test end, so here it is.

Current traces are in-chamber,  doors covered (yesterday) and references are under the test end (Mar/19/2012), both undamped and free swinging. Under the test end, ISI was locked down, but it was free last night.

The noise level of some DOF is much lower now than they used to, which might be due to the air flow under the test end.

These look different from in-lab measurement under the Bosch frame (https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=1825). There's a whole bunch of peaks betweeb 1 and 2 Hz now, and also there used to be no 0.79-0.77 Hz peak under the Bosch frame. Usually I get suspicious about the touching/rubbing, but we looked and haven't found anything. OTOH, under the Bosch frame one of the suspension wire was resting on a washer on the table cloth, which was later fixed just before TMS was transported to the test end.

Frequencies of most of the peaks didn't change, but there are some that changed (e.g. from 0.79 Hz to 0.77 Hz, from 1.6 Hz to 1.5 Hz, and from 1.79 Hz to 1.75 Hz). The difference might be due to the ISI status (free VS locked down at the test end) but we don't know.

We'll check any interference again some time in the future, but at the moment we won't do anything and just damp it for ISI crews.

It seems that some of the in-chamber connectors on the vacuum feedthroughs don't have setscrews to keep them attached in position. So they're just plugged in. This is not limited to TMS.

Is this intentional? I cannot believe that we do NOT want to securely attach connectors.

Dan, Aidan and I went to EY to unlock TMSY. From earlier report by Cheryl I was worried if TMS is really close to touching, but it was fine. Maybe ISI unlocking did the trick, though we don't know.

Anyway, SUS team should feel free to go in the EY the first thing in the morning.

There is a minor problem, which is that TMS is undamped now because TMS DAC is disabled because ETMY is not plugged in. Don't ask me about this logic. We are supposed to be able to damp it once ETMY is up and running.

Attached are plots of dust counts > .5 microns. The dust monitor under the clean room over BSC8 (H0:PEM-LVEA_DST15_5) was not reliable enough to bother plotting. The dust monitor at location 7 in the LVEA was moved to location 15 in the morning. I have included a plot of H0:PEM-LVEA_DST7_MODE to show when.

Performed diode check measurements at the air-side 25 pin D-sub associated with ITMY (BSC8) scattered light photodetectors.  Flange number was F1, subflange 3.  There are two 25 pin D-sub connectors, which we designated "TOP" and "BOTTOM".  We still don't know which set of photodiodes are associated with H1 and H2, but the measurements are complete.

ALL MEASUREMENTS ON AIRSIDE PINS WITH FLUKE DVM ON DIODE TEST

TOP D-sub, PD1, pin 1 = anode, pin 2 = cathode, diode voltage = 0.412V
TOP D-sub, PD2, pin 4 = anode, pin 5 = cathode, diode voltage = OPEN CIRCUIT
TOP D-sub, PD3, pin 7 = anode, pin 8 = cathode, diode voltage = 0.421V
TOP D-sub, PD4, pin 10 = anode, pin 11 = cathode, diode voltage = 0.420V
Verified pin 13 is open circuit to vacuum tank indicating shield is not shorted to ground internal to the vacuum system

BOTTOM D-sub, PD1, pin 1 = anode, pin 2 = cathode, diode voltage = 0.423V
BOTTOM D-sub, PD2, pin 4 = anode, pin 5 = cathode, diode voltage = 0.423V
BOTTOM D-sub, PD3, pin 7 = anode, pin 8 = cathode, diode voltage = 0.424V
BOTTOM D-sub, PD4, pin 10 = anode, pin 11 = cathode, diode voltage = 0.424V
Verified pin 13 is open circuit to vacuum tank indicating shield is not shorted to ground internal to the vacuum system

For all pins on top and bottom, we checked every permutation to verify there are no unintended pin-to-pin shorts in the vacuum system

Follow up on the bad BSC6 CPS's found yesterday. This morning we investigated more fully and decided that it was most likely the probes that were bad, so there was some scrambling to find replacements. This was complicated by the fact that all of the CPS bake data in ICS had been purged and has not been reentered, so the only information we had on clean CPS's was buried in bake lab notebooks (many thanks to C&B for keeping this information handy!). We found some replacements in storage in the staging building and set about replacing the bad units with good as follows:

-St1V2 Bad CPS 13620 replaced with 12902
-St2V1 Bad CPS 13573 replaced with 12894

After that was completed (including switching phases on the cards for both replacement CPS's) we proceeded to rebalance the ISI. It is currently floating and TMS (I think, Dan and Aiden, anyway) is currently in chamber, unlocking their stuff (I think). SUS will unlock in the morning.

The attached pics show the current disposition of the cables and balance masses on corner 1,2 and 3 respectively.

Fabrice, Hugo,

HAM-ISI Unit #4 - Testing Report Phase 1 has been reviewed and validated. We can now proceed with the storage of this Unit.

Reports regading the previous units tested/validated (Phase I) at LHO are also available on the DCC:

HAM-ISI Unit #1
HAM-ISI Unit #2
HAM-ISI Unit #3

Chris Soike and I pulled two optics and placed them in cake tins so that they are ready for disposition. We put the suspensions in the front room on the big table: I assume they are destined for recycling.

*Note-ML waived second cleaning. Terry S. et al reported that the chamber was very clean when they did first cleaning.
-Door removal (Completed 10 April 2012) Apollo
-Retrieve witness plates(Completed 10 April 2012) Travis and Jodi
*Note-These five plates were put in place just before BSC8 was closed up and pumped down. 
Locations: 
#1-GV1 nozzle=Witness plate 5 (6 particles on whole plate)
#2-GV3 bellows convolution=Witness plate 4 (11 particles on whole plate)
#3-YBM bellows convolution=Witness plate 3 (8 particles on whole plate)
#4-Face of quad optic/ACB face=Witness plate 2 (5 particles on whole plate)
#5-Center of BSC floor=Witness plate 1 (8 particles on whole plate)
They should give us some idea of the quantity and quality of particulate that gets moved around during one pump down/venting cycle.

Condition of chamber was documented. Support tubes were inspected for fibers and then fibers were picked. The tubes were wrapped in foil and C-3. Bellows protection was installed. Brushing commenced after lunch: the ceiling was oxide-free by 2:30. Up-stream nozzle and mid-section were completed by the end of the day.

Just because I realized that we don't have the latest and greatest written down anywhere:

Until further notice, the nominal values for the ALL SUS Watchdog thresholds for ALL OSEMs on ALL stages should be as follows:

(Sensors)
OSEM DC LO: -30000
OSEM DC HI: 30000

Justification: The DC watchdog watches the raw ADC inputs of the OSEMs. The possible DC range should be between 0 cts (when the flag is completely blocking the LED) and the open light current, close to the ADC limit of 32768. At DC, during normal operation, the OSEMs should be centered to around 15000 counts, and typically do not move +/- ~5000 from the centered position. However, the "DC" bandpass rolls of at 10 Hz. The analog whitening filter is a [zero:pole], [0.4:10] Hz filter, which means that above 0.4 Hz there is appreciable gain, maxing out a factor of 25. That means although the DC signal will not go negative, any AC signal that's above 0.4 Hz may go negative.


OSEM AC: 8000

Justification: Here, typical undamped RMS velocities are something around 1000 cts AC RMS, and during transfer functions, something like 5000 cts AC RMS. 3000 over that should be a sufficient buffer for non-sense.

(Actuation)
ACT AC: 25000


Justification: Here the OSEMs don't have the drive strength to really do any damage, and we have a 18 bit DAC, so 120000 cts to play with. Typical levels for damped system are ~2000 cts, and for drive during transfer functions, around ~10000 cts AC RMS. Note that yes, we *do* use the full 120000 cts range for a drive, but the band-limited (0.1 to 10Hz band) RMS of this excitation does not typically exceed 10000 cts.

There may be a bug in my code, where the dust monitors that are set to beep are not having the data recorded when the dust monitor beeps.

I replaced the dust monitor at location 15 in the LVEA (in the clean room over BSC8) with the dust monitor at location 7 in the LVEA. The dust monitor at location 15 in the LVEA had a sensor failure.

We installed the properly-handed mirror mount for the upper periscope mirrors of the ALS green path on the in-air table.  The slots in the baseplate for the 1/4-20 bolts were just a hair too narrow for the bolts, so we used the initial baseplate (which is right-handed, if you think of the extra tab as a 'thumb').  Pictures attached.

We intended to float and do some rough leveling on BSC6 today, but ran into a couple of road blocks. First off, the sync cables for the CPS's were found to be too short. One cable just barely made it, but the other cable was too short by a couple of feet. We found a 25ft cable, but realized a little late the it had the wrong gender on one end to be used by itself, so it is currently being used as an extension. After that was figured out and the CPS's were powered up, we found two sensors were railed. Preliminary investigations found no loose connections, but we did find a suspicious kink in one sensor cable. We will continue looking at this tomorrow.

So, instead of floating, we installed cable brackets. No pics right now, there's a bit of clean up still to be done there.

The PLX hollow transfer retro-reflector is nested in the spool at BSC6 and semi aligned.
Please be careful working around it as it is expensive, sensitive and replacement is 6-8 weeks out.

Greg and I installed the HWS electrical feedthrough panel on the D1200101-v2 on the in-air table. Unfortunately the panel was 5mm too long (which we fixed in the machine shop) and the Delrin insert for the 37-pin feedthrough butts up against the internal frame of the enclosure (see attachment). We'll need to rev the panel design to solve these issues. 

We're still assembling all the cables necessary for the install. Tomorrow we'll finish wiring it all up.

YBM is vented as of 15:00 today.
