Tried locking the arms
- Ran IFO > Configure > ! (YARM) > Restore YARM. Nothing happened.
- Trying to align through tip-tilt:
- Previous values: TT1: PIT: -1.7845, YAW: -0.2775; TT2: PIT: -1.3376, YAW: -0.0436
- Couldn't get flashing of light in the arms at all.
- Restored values to previous values.
- Noticed that ITMY OPLEV YAWW Error has gone very high overnight while other oplevs remained the same.
- Trying to change the C1:SUS-ITMY_YAW_OFFSET to bring this oplev yaw error back to near zero.
- Changed C1:SUS-ITMY_YAW_OFFSET from -34 to 50. OPLEV_YEROR reduced to around -23 from -70.
- Same thing with BS PIT. OPLEV_PERROR is highlighted in red at -52.
- Changing C1:SUS-BS_PIT_OFFSET from 55 to 30. This brought OPLEV_PERROR to -15 from -52.
- Trying to align PRM by changing C1:SUS-PRM_PIT_OFFSET and C1:SUS-PRM_YAW_OFFSET.
- Inital values: C1:SUS-PRM_PIT_OFFSET: -20 , C1:SUS-PRM_YAW_OFFSET: 39.
Did the WFS step response test on IMC in between while waiting for help. See 16094.
Back to trying arm locking
- Tried IFO > Configure > ! (XARM) > Restore YARM. Nothing happened.
- Tried IFO > Configure > ! (YARM) > Restore YARM. Nothing happened again.
- Tried Movie Capture of AS screen from VIDEO > Movie Capture > AS. But the script failed due to module not present error.
PMC got unlocked
- Infront of me, PMC got unlocked. I did not go to PMC locking the screen at all since morning.
- I opened the C1PSL_PMC screen. The PSL Autolocker blinker is not blinking but the switch is set to Enable.
- I do not see any automatic effort happening for regaining lock at PMC.
- I'll try it manually. I was able to get the PMC locked again. C1:PSL-PMC_PMCTRANSPD is showing 0.761 V and C1:PSL-PMC_RFPDDC is showing 0.053 V.
- Now IMC auto locker seems to be trying to get the lock acquired.
- It acquired a lock a few times but struggled to keep it on. I reduced C1:IOO-WFS_GAIN to 0 and then the lock could stay on. Seemed like the accumulated offsets were not good.
- So I cleared the history on WFS1, TRANS and WFS2 filter banks and then ramped the WFS overall gain (C1:IOO-WFS_GAIN) back to 1 and now IMC seems to stay locked in a stable configuration.
- However, I still don't know what caused the PMC to get unlocked in the first place. Did my repeated arm locking attempts did something to the main laser frequency?
