In addition to (and probably related to) the XARM ASS not working today, the ITMX has been jumping around kind of like ETMX sometimes does. It's very disconcerting.
Earlier today, Q and I tried turning off both the LSC and the oplev damping (leaving the local OSEM damping on), and ITMX still jumped, far enough that it fell off the oplev PD.
I'm not sure what is wrong with ITMX, but probably ASS won't work well until we figure out what's up.
I tried a few lock stretches (after realigning the Xgreen on the PSL table) after hand-aligning the Xarm, but the overall alignment just isn't good enough. Usually POPDC gets to 400 or 450 while the arms are held off resonance, but today (after tweaking BS and PRM alignment), the best I can get POPDC is about 300 counts.
Den and I are looking at the ASS and ITMX now. |
