Continued to work on the WFS repair
Demod phase adjustment:
- Use the PDH signal to adjust the demodulation phase to have uniform signals between the segments.
- Excited laser frequency at 1234Hz by injecting 10mVpp into IMC Servo Board IN2. The input was enabled on the MC Servo screen and given the input gain of 0dB.
- Looked at the ~real time spectrum in WFS1/2 SEG1/2/3/4 I&Q after the phase rotators. Changed the demod phases 1) to have ~0deg transfer function between C1:IOO-MC_F to C1:IOO-WFSi_Ij 2) to minimize the freq signal in Q phases.
(See Attachment 1)
- Resulting change of the demod phases:
WFS1 SEG1 52.0 -> 38.0deg
WFS1 SEG2 54.0 -> 53.0deg
WFS1 SEG3 16.6 -> 33.2deg
WFS1 SEG4 103.9 ->-37.1deg
WFS2 SEG1 17.0 -> 57.8deg
WFS2 SEG2 26.6 -> 51.5deg
WFS2 SEG3 24.5 -> 44.0deg
WFS2 SEG4 -58.0 ->103.7deg
SEG4 of both WFSs had significant phase rotation. A quick check of the power spectrum indicates that the Q signals have significantly (<x1/10) lower signals (Attachment 2/3/4). So that's good.
Transfer function measurement
Now the ASCPIT/ASCYAW of the MC1/2/3 suspension were excited and the transfer functions to WFS1/2 SEG1/2/3/4 and MC Trans P/Y were measured. The analysis will come later.
Again here the Q signals have significantly lower sensitivity to the mirror motion. So it is consistent with the above observation of the spectra.
However, the quick check of the transfer functions indicated that the conventional input matrices result in the flipped dependence of the combined error signals in pitch and yaw.
This might indicate that some of the cables were not inserted into the demod board properly although the cables at the demod boards show no indication of anomaly. (See the photos in ELOG 17048)
It might be the case that the cable had been inserted with a special unusual arrangement.
In any case, this can be fixed at the input matrix. Native change of the input matrix made WFS1PIT/WFS1YAW/WFS2PIT/WFS2YAW/MC2Trans YAW servos running (after some adjustment of the servo signs).
The MC2TRANS PIT servo didn't seem to settle and run away no matter which sign is used.
It's probably better to look at the sensing matrix and figure out the proper input/output matrix carefully. So at this moment, no WFSs are working.
Note that I left the new demod phases in the system
During the transfer function measurement some filters were turned off to make the shaking smoother:
IMC ASC filters were turned off to make the FResp flat:
- MC1 ASCP/Y FM1/FM5 OFF
- MC2 ASCP/Y FM1/FM5/FM6 OFF
- MC3 ASCP/Y FM1/FM5 OFF
60Hz comb OSEM Input filters were also turned off to make the transfer functions simpler:
- MC1 INPUT FM2 OFF (60Hz comb)
- MC2 INPUT FM2 OFF (60Hz comb)
- MC3 INPUT FM2 OFF (60Hz comb)
