Last night I noticed that PZT1 didn't work properly
I am not sure what is going on. Today I will try localizing the cause of the problem.
As far as I remember it was perfectly working at the time just after we readjusted the OSEMs on MC1 and MC3 (Aug 23th)
The symptoms are :
+ No response to both pitch and yaw control from EPICS (i.e. C1:LSC-PZT1_X and C1:LSC-PZT1_Y)
+ When a big value (-3 or so) from EPICS was applied, the PZT1 mirror suddenly jumped.
However it turned out it just corresponded to a state where OOR (Out Of Range) LED lights up.
I did some brief checks :
+ checked the voltage going into the HV amplifiers' "MOD" input. Those are the voltage coming out from DACs and controlled from EPICS.
--> looked healthy. They went from -10 to 10 V as expected (although the HV amp takes up to only +/-5V).
+ swapped the ''MOD" input cables such that C1:LSC-PZT1 controls the PZT2 HV and vice versa.
--> The PZT2 mirror was still controlable, but the PZT1 mirror still didn't move. So the DAC and EPICS are innocent.
+ swapped the D-dub cables, which are directly going into the feedthroughs, such that the PZT1 HV drives the PZT2 mirrors and vice versa.
--> the PZT2 mirror became unable to be controlled. For the PZT1 mirror, only PITCH worked smoothly.
