Dmass, Joe, Koji


A puzzle has been solved: Dmass gave us a great tip

"The RGC code does not work unless the name of the mdl file (simulink model) matches to the model name "

The model name is written in the second line. This is automatically modified if the mdl file is saved from simulink.
But we copied the model by using "cp" command. This prevent from the TST model working!

megatron:simLink>head tst.mdl
Model {
  Name                    "tst"
  Version                 7.3
  MdlSubVersion           0

...
...
...

This explained why the AAA model worked when the DAC block has been copied from the other model.
This was not because of the ADC block but the saving model fixed the model name mismatch!


Now our current working model is "C1TST". Most of the functionalities have been implemented now:

  • The simulink model has been modified so that some of the functionalities can be accomodated, such as LSC/ASC PIT/ASC YAW.
  • Some filter names are fixed so as to inherit the previous naming conventions.
  • The SUS-ETMY epics screen was modified to fit to the new channel names, the filter topologies, and the matrices.
  • The chans file was constructed so that the conventional filter coefficients are inherited.
  • All of the gains, filter SWs, matrix elements have been set accordingly to the current ETMY settings.
  • burt snapshot has been taken: /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1tstepics/controls_1091117_024223_0.snap
    burtrb -f /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1tstepics/autoBurt.req -o controls_1091117_024223_0.snap -l /tmp/controls_1091117_024215_0.read.log -v

What to do next:

  • Revisit Oplev model so that it accomodates a power normalization functionality.
  • ETMY QPD model is also missing!
  • Clean up mdl file using subsystem grouping
  • Check consistency of the whitening/dewhitening switches.
  • Connect ADC/DAC to megatron
  • Test of the controllability
  • BTW, what is happened to BIO?
  • Implementation of the RFM card

Directories and the files:

  • The .mdl file is backed up as
    /home/controls/cds/advLigo/src/epics/simLink/tst.mdl.20091116_2100

  • The default screens built by "make" is installed in
    /cvs/cds/caltech/medm/c1/tst/
    They are continuously overridden by the further building of the models.

  • The custom-built medm screens are stored in
    /cvs/cds/caltech/medm/c1/tst/CustomAdls/

    The backup is
    /cvs/cds/caltech/medm/c1/tst/CustomAdls/CustomAdls.111609_2300/

  • The custom-built chans file is
    /cvs/cds/caltech/chans/C1TST.txt

    The backup is
    /cvs/cds/caltech/chans/C1TST.111609
