The WFS servo was recommissioned. The matrix can be tuned a bit more, but for now, I've recovered the old performance and the alignment doesn't seem to be running away, so I defer further tuning for later. The old Satellite box was handed over to Yehonathan for his characterization of the "spare" OSEMs.
This finishes the recovery of the MC1 suspension, I am now satisfied that the local damping loops are performing satisfactorily, that the WFS servo is also stable, and that POX/POY locking is recovered. On MC1, we even have 4 actuatable face OSEMs and the PIT(YAW) bias adjust slider even moves the optic in PIT(YAW), what a luxury.
I've SDFed all the changes, and have backup of the old realtime model and C1SUSAUX_MC1 database files if we want to go back for whatever reason. The changes required to make this suspension work are different from what will eventually be required for the BHD suspensions (because of the hybrid iLIGO/aLIGO electronics situation), so I will not burden the readers with the tedious details. |
