Basically I went around all the chambers and all the DB25 flanges to check the invac cable configurations. Also took more time to check the coil Rs and Ls.
Exceptions are the TTs. To avoid unexpected misalignment of the TTs, I didn't try to disconnect the TT cables from the flanges.
Upon the disconnection of the SOS cables, the following steps are taken to avoid large impact to the SOSs
- The alignment biases were saved or recorded.
- Gradually moved the biases to 0
- Turned off the watchdogs (thus damping)
After the measurement, IMC was lock and aligned. The two arms were locked and aligned with ASS. And the PRM alignment (when "misalign" was disengaged) was checked with the REFL CCD.
So I believe the SOSs are functioning as before, but if you find anything, please let me know.
