Attached plots are the result of the MC1 trend measurement.
See the attachment #1. The first two plots show the drift of the MC1 alignment as seen by the OSEMs. It is terrible. Other MC mirrors also drifted but the scale is smaller than the MC1.
From the VMon channels, you can see that the control voltages were quiet.
The monitor channels we added were:
MC_TMP1 = UL coil bias. Input to the coil driver board.
MC_DRUM1 = UL coil bias. Output of the current buffer.
OSA_APTEMP = LR coil bias. Input to the coil driver board.
OSA_SPTEMP = LR coil bias. Output of the current buffer.
The bias voltages show no drift except for a glitch around 7AM. This glitch did not show up in the SPTEMP channel (LR coil bias output). This was because the probe was connected to the coil side of the output resistor by mistake.
The second attachment shows a zoomed plot of MC1 OSEM signals along with the bias monitor channels (signals were appropriately scaled so that they all fit in +/-1).
There is no correlation between the OSEM signals and the bias voltages.
Since we were only monitoring UL and LR coils, I changed the monitor points as follows.
MC_TMP1 = LL coil bias. Output of the current buffer.
MC_DRUM1 = UL coil bias. Output of the current buffer.
OSA_APTEMP = UR coil bias. Output of the current buffer.
OSA_SPTEMP = LR coil bias. Output of the current buffer.
I will leave the MC unlocked for a while.
