[done] Whitening gain switching test => Some issues found (POP110Q, Whitening3_8 not switching, ASDC overall behavior, REFL33Q needs recheck)
[done] AA enable/disable switching
[0th order] LO Det Mon channel check
[none] PD I/F board check
[done] QPD I/F board check
[none] CM Board
[none] ALS I/F board
And, the Y-arm lock was recovered! After some alignment work, the Y-arm was locked. The whitening gain for POY11 was +18dB. The servo gain was 0.015 (nominal).
Once the transmission reached 0.8, I could use ASS to align the cavity and the TTs.
The transmission reached just 1.00 at the end. Was the transmission recently normalized? (See attachment 5)
- Whitening Filter Gain Switching Test
Each whitening filters were tested individually. +50mV DC signal was connected to the 8 inputs using an SMA octopus cable.
The existing script ( /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1iscaux/testScripts/testWhtGain.py ) did not work because cds.getdata failed to fetch all of the data requested. By giving some sleep before start downloading the data, the problem was avoided. Still some truncated data are seen in the result, but StripTools screenshots compliments the missing part.
Whitening Filters #2~4 were a little tricky because the code needed modification so that the spare channels can be tested.
The modified script is stored as /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1iscaux/testScripts/testWhtGain_190926.py
Whitening #1: No issue found.
Whitening #2: No issue found. Some of the step plots showed truncation of the data at the end. But this is an artifact of cds.getdat. The striptool show nothing irregular.
Whitening #3: POP110Q and the spare channel (CH8) did not show the reaction. REFL33Q showed some systematic gain deviation. It could just be the offset problem, but needs to be rechecked.
Whitening #4: The DC channels were found to be OK except for ASDC. ASDC shows earlier saturation. The input was lowered to 5mVDC to avoid saturation in the second trial. The circuit needs to be checked. The spare channels look noisy, but this is because there is no way to turn off the whitening filters for them.
- AA Filter Test
Injected 11kHz 1Vpp sine wave to the whitening filters. The whiter gains were kept at 0dB. If the AA is disabled, the alias of the 11kHz signal appears in the time series.
-> Whitening #1, #3 and #4: the enable/disable worked correctly.
-> Whitening #2 AA Bbypass no effect. this is an expected behavior.
