Subject: MC1 SUS electronics investigation 

Both suspensions have been relatively well behaved for the best part of the last two days, since I effected the Satellite Box swap. Today morning, I set about re-enabling the damping and locking the MC. Judging by the wall StripTool, it stayed locked for about 30 mins or so, after which the glitching returned.

Attached is a screenshot of the sensor signals from MC1 and MC3 (second trend), and also the highest band (>30Hz) BLRMS output for the same 10 channels (full data sampled at 16Hz). Note that MC1 and MC3 satellite boxes remain swapped. So the glitches now have migrated to the MC3 channels.

I need to think about whether this is just coincidence, or if me re-enabling the damping has something to do with the re-occurrence of the glitching...


Addendum 4.30pm: I've also re-aligned the Y arm. Its alignment has been stable over the last few hours, despite several mode cleaner lock losses in between, it recovers good IR transmission. The X arm has been re-aligned to green, but I can't get it locked to the IR - everytime I turn the LSC to ETMX on, there seems to be some large misalignment applied to it. c1iscaux was dead, I restarted it by keying the crate. I haven't had time to investigate the X arm locking in detail, I will continue to debug this.
