Yoichi, Pete
The MC loses lock due to glitches in the MC1 coils.
We do not know which coil for sure, and we do not know if it is a problem going into the board, or a problem on the board.
We suspect either the UL or LR coil bias circuits (Pete would bet on UL). If you look at the bottom 4 plots in the attached file, you can see a relatively large 3 minute dip in the UL OSEM output, with a corresponding bump in the LR (and smaller dips in the other diagonal).
These bumps do not show up in the VMONS which is why we are suspicious of the bias.
To test we are monitoring 4 points in test channels, for UL and UR, both going into the bias driver circuit, and coming out of the current buffer before going into the coils.
We ran cable from the suspension rack to the IOO rack to record the signals with DAQ channels.
The test channels:
UL coil C1:IOO-MC_DRUM1 (Caryn was using, we will replace when we are done)
UL input C1:IOO-MC_TMP1 (Caryn was using, we will replace when we are done)
LR coil C1:PEM-OSA_SPTEMP
LR input C1:PEM-OSA_APTEMP
We will leave these overnight; we intend to remove them tomorrow or Monday.
We closed the PSL shutter and killed the MC autolocker. |
