I've been looking into the data of Jan 06 and Jan 15 taken during daytime, as the night before we left the PRC aligned in order to allow the IFO to flash; the purpose is to find out if some flashes from the IFO could propagate back to the IMC and cause it to lose lock; I will show here a sample plot, all of the others are in the archive attached.
My impression is that these locklosses of the IMC are not caused by these flashes: the signals MC_[F/L] seem quite stable until the lock loss, and I don't see any correlation with what happens to REFLDC that could cause the lockloss (apart from its drop as a consequence of the lockloss itself); in addition, in most occasions I noticed that the FSS started to go crazy just before the lock loss, and that suggests me that the lockloss source is internal to the IMC.
I can't see anything strange happen to MC_TRANS either as long as the IMC is locked, no fluctuations or weird behaviour. I also plotted the MC_REFL_SUM channel. but it is too slow to be useful for this kind of "hunt". |
