Here is a comparison of the response of various DoFs in our various RFPD sensors for two different CARM offsets. Even in the case of the smaller CARM offset of ~1kHz, we are several linewidths away from the resonance. Need to do some finesse modeling to make any meaningful statement about this - why is the CARM response in REFL11 apparently smaller for the smaller CARM offset?

If you mistrust my signal processing, the GPS times for which I ran the sensing lines are:

CARM offset = ~30kHz (arm transmission <0.02) --- 1257064777+5min

CARM offset = ~1kHz (arm transmission ~5) --- 1257065566+5min

I'll finish the rest of the config to turn it into a full-fledged workstation tomorrow.

Added zita to the martian host table, and configured his network accordingly:

zita            A       192.168.113.217

https://wiki-40m.ligo.caltech.edu/Martian_Host_Table

 I installed 'nfs-client' on zita (the StripTool terminal). It now has mounted all the shared disks, but still can't do StripTool since its a 32-bit machine and our StripTool is 64.

For several of the channels on the PEM ADCU, zeros are occuring at the same time. Does anyone know why that might happen or how to fix it?

I added the following repos which I found on allegra to megatron and then did a 'yum install sshfs' on both machines:

allegra:yum.repos.d>l
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  428 Feb 12 16:47 rpmforge.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  684 Feb 12 16:47 mirrors-rpmforge
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1054 Feb 12 16:47 epel-testing.repo

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  179 Feb 12 16:47 adobe-linux-i386.repo

This also required me to import the rpmforge GPG key:

sudo rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

I went to Ottavia, and tried running yum update.  It was having dependancy issues with mjpegtools, which was a rpmforge provided package.  In order to get it to update, I moved the rpmforge priority above (a lower number) that of epel ( epel -> 20 from 10, rpmforge -> 10 to 20).  This resolved the problem and the updates proceeded (all 434 of them). yum update on Ottavia now reports nothing needs to be done.

I went to Rosalba and found rpmfusion repositories enabled.  The only one of the 3 repositories in each file enabled was the first one.

I then added priority listing to all the repositories on Rosalba.  I set CentOS-Base and related to priority=1.  I set CentOS-Media.repo priority to 1 (although it is disabled - just to head off future problems). I set all epel related to priorities to 20. I set all rpmforge related priorities to 10.  I set all rpmfusion related priorities to 30, and left the first repo in rpmfusion-free-updates and rpmfusion-nonfree-updates were enabled.  All other rpmfusion testing repositories were disabled by me.

I then had to by hand downgrade expat to expat-1.95.8-8.3.el5_4.2.x86_64 (the rpmforge version).  I also removed and reinstalled x264.x86_64.  Lastly I removed and reinstalled lyx. yum update was then run and completed successfully.

I installed yum-priorities on Allegra and made all CentOS-Base repositories priority 1. I similarly made the still disabled CentOS-Media priority 1.  I made all epel related repos priority 20.  I made all lscsoft repos priority=50 (not sure why its on Allegra and none of the other ones).  I made all rpmforge priorities 10.  I then ran "yum update" which updated 416 packages.

So basically all the Centos control room machines are now using the following order for repositories:

CentOS-Base > rpmforge > epel > (rpmfusion - rosalba only) > lscsoft (allegra only)

I'm not sure if rpmfusion and lscsoft are necessary, but I've left them for now.  This should mean "yum update" will have far fewer problems in the future.

Yend seismometer isolation kit (elog 8461) hosts Guralp seismometer. I made a cable for inside connection, assembled the kit and relocated the instrument from its previous position at the yend inside the kit.

Seismometer is connected to the readout box and running.

As a CM slow path test I locked free swinging yarm by actuating on MC length with bandwidth of 200 Hz. Crossover with AO is not stable so far.

I used xarm as an ool frequency noise sensor. MC2 violin mode is at 645 Hz, I have added a notch filter to LSC-MC2 bank.

We aligned and locked Y arm for green:

• installed camera on PSL to monitor green transmission
• aligned green path on the ETMY table to see the beam on the PSL camera
• misaligned ETMY and aligned ITMY to see reflected beam on REFL PD
• installed green transmission PD on PSL
• aligned ETMY and locked YARM to 00 mode

I've switched error channel cable to output monitor. Whitening filter is need for scattering measurements.

 Xend internal cabling and external connector is ready. We are waiting for seismometer from Gyro lab. We still need to fix the pot with clamps after we put the instrument in.

We also need a long cable from Xend to the guralp readout box.

Moku:Go used for full locking of green laser - OLTF to come

Picking up from where Reuben left off, I used the Moku:Go in multi-instrument mode to replace the signal generator and uPDH box entirely (Moku:Go setup shown in Attachments 1+2). The lock-in amplifier sourced the modulation for the PZT: 210.5 kHz, 1.4 Vpp amplitude (consistent with 7dBm used by the uPDH box) This LO was used to demodulate the REFL signal input. I coarsely tuned the demodulation phase to 90 degrees until the PDH error signal looked reasonable. The PDH error signal was passed to the digital filter box using the same filter as before. After slightly adjusting the gain knob in the filter module (-8 dB), the lock seemed reasonably stable - transmission screenshot in Attachment 3. I got transmission to ~0.8 with the analog loop today, so it was exciting to see this level maintained with the Moku:Go lock (ignoring oscillations from test mass motion). The system remains locked to TEM00 for 5-10 minutes before mode hopping, which is qualitatively comparable to the analog loop as well.

An OLTF of the Moku:Go loop still needs to be taken. Since the loop error point isn't outputted from the Moku (passed direclty between instruments), I'll need to inject an excitation at the control point. When I fed the control signal to input A of the SR560 and tried to lock with the direct output, the lock would repeatedly break. I noticed that the BATT light of the SR560 was on - I'll repeat this with another SR560, but the lock might be breaking due to an offset. Once this is debugged, I can inject an excitation and measure the loop OLTF.

We aligned and locked xarm for green.

 That's really, really awesome!

To balance the actuation on ETMX and ETMY, x4.12 was aded to C1:SUS-ETMX_(UL|UR|LR|LL|SD)COIL FM1. OSEM damping filter gains, oplev loop gains, and alignment offsets were divided by this factor.
C1:LSC-ETMX_GAIN is now 1.

To do:
 - Balance ETM and ITM. It should make ASS more sensible.
 - Re-commission Xarm ASS and Yarm ASS.

Today Steve was working around the 1X5 rack to strain relief the cable jungles and the jungle is now getting less jungle.

During the work he disconnected and reconnected some cables.

So for a doublecheck I checked all the suspensions to see if the suspensions are still healthy or not.

Aha, then I found a mistake.

See the pictures below. It's a very subtle difference. This wrong connection prevented MC1 and MC3 from damping.

The channels for IPPOS had been assigned in a wrong way.

Because of this, C1:ASC-IP_POS_X_Calc corresponds to the actual vertical motion and C1:ASC-IP_POS_Y_Calc is for the horizontal motion.

We should fix the database file to get the correct vertical/horizontal corrdinate.

We are currently working on donatella workstation upgrade, which we are calling donatellaclone for now. After installing Debian 11, we install the cds conda environment. This takes care of most of the requisite packages except `dataviewer` and `burtgooey`.

To resolve the machines on the martian network, we do the following:

then create or open the file '/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head'

sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head

and add the following

burtgooey:

The installation binary for burtgooey `/usr/bin/burtgooey` is a symoblic link that points to `/ligo/apps/epics-3.14.10/extensions/bin/linux-x86_64/burtgooey`. To get this working, we need to install some requisite libraries, see below:

dataviewer:

dataviewer depends on 'grace' and 'libmotif-dev' which are not installed automatically and results in a broken initial installation, so do the following:

 Koji and I went into "Update Manager" on several of the Ubuntu workstations and unselected the "check for updates" button. This is to prevent the machines from asking to be upgraded so frequently - I am concerned that someone might be tempted to upgrade the workstations to Ubuntu 12.

We didn't catch them all, so please take a moment to check that this is the case on all the laptops you are using and make it so. We can then apply the updates in a controlled manner once every few months.

2.1 mag earth quake in Norhten Ca

Our seimometers need professorial centering. Related electronics must be checked too.

I'm working on the AP table. I also opened the auxiliary NPRO shutter. The auxiliary beam is on its path on the AP table and PSL table.

 Closing the AP table and the NPRO shutter now.

I've been putting together a new machine that Rolf got for us as a replacement for fb.

I've installed and configured the OS, and compiled daqd and the necessary supporting software.  I want to try acquiring data with it.  This will require removing the current/old fb from the DAQ network, and adding the new machine.  It should be able to be done relatively non-invasively, such that none of the front end configuration needs to be adjusted, and the old fb can be put back in place easily.

If the test is successfully, then I'll push ahead with the rest of the replacement (such as either moving or copying the /frames RAID to the new machine).

I will do this work in the early AM tomorrow, September 22, 2015.

I never actually figured out exactly what was wrong in entry 2162, but I managed to circumvent by changing the time sequence of events in the up script, moving the big gain increases in the common mode servo to the end of the script.  So the IFO can be locked again.

The saga has started here  We have to give credit to the Boss who fixed it. The seismometers themself are not labeled yet.

"Why does the word wrapping not work in our browsers with ELOG?" I sometimes wonder. Some of the elogs are fine, but often the 40m one has the text run off the page.

I found that this is due to people uploading HUGE images. If you need to do this, just use the shrink feature in the elog compose window so that we only have to see the thumbnail at first. Otherwise your 12 MP images will make it hard to read everyone else's entries.

This morning I came in the 40m then found
1) c1auxex was throwing out the same errors as recently seen.
2) c1iscex processes had errors which persisted even after the mx stream reset.

1) c1auxex - fixed

Tried telnet c1auxex => rejected by the host

Went down to the south end. Power cycled the target. Came back to the control room.
=> Confirmed the epics read/write is back.
Burtrestored the epics vars for the target to the snapshot on 31th Oct at 5:07.

2) c1iscex - still not fixed

ssh c1iscex
rtcds restart all => c1x01 is still in red. 
Followed the procedure on the elog entry 9007. => Still the same error.

At least c1x01 is stalled. Here is the status.

Sync Source is TDS.
C1:DAQ-DC0_C1X01_STATUS is 0x2bad.
C1:DAQ-DC0_C1X01_CRC_SUM stays 0.
The screen shot is attached.

Here is a wiring diagram which shows how IP-POS (new official name is IB_POS) is connected.

Another thing we have to remember is : at some point we will also connect some more QPDs (e.g. POX, POY, AS, REFL and POP) in the same way.

They will also be acquired by the same slow machine : c1iscaux.

Just FYI, the 3113 is a 12-bit ADC, so we won't get very good resolution out of these. We should get one of those purple boxes.

Also, I corresponded some with Dave Barker. The 40m Wiki at LHO is down because of disk errors. He's working on it and will let us know. But suggests that we move it to Caltech since he'll turn the box off at the end of the year.

Mon May 16 13:57:49 2011    Wiki is back up.

I attached a wiring schematic from the slow DAQ to the eurocrate modules. Of these, pins 1-32 (or 1A-16C) and pins 33-64 (17A-32C) are on separate DSub connectors. Therefore the easiest solution is to splice the slow DIO channels into the existing breakouts so we can proceed with the transition. This will still remove a lot of the current cable salad. For the YEND we can start thinking about a more elegant solution (For example a connector on the front panel of the Acromag chassis for the fast DIO) now that the problem is better defined.

Once again, this morning I found the wireless router disconnected from the LAN cable. No martian WiFi was available.

I wonder who is been doing that and for what reason.

Our last effort to change the existing Al-6061 wire standoffs was at April 2012

We requested sapphire and/or ruby materials with smaller R at the bottom of the  groove. Groove polishing was asked for.

Insaco Inc. quote 84740 as " best effort " NO POLISHING.  The groove cut to be with eximer laser.

Jeff Lewis as 9-12-2012:  the LIGO sapphire prisms grooves were NOT POLISHED  but Resonatics used the corner of a rasor blade to scrape off the

ablated material wich was redeposited in and around the grooves.
 

Ruby wire standoff 1 mm od. with V-groove test cut. SOS sus wire 0.0017" od. is in the background.
 

It looks almost OK, but we need a bit sharper picture for both the groove and thw wire.

The wire inprints were removed by 800P grain paper [Norton 73568] The SS bridge block now has an undesireble vally in the wire location.

The sus bridges were soaked in acetone over night and sonicated to remove residual sand paper.

This will be difficult to modify with the magnets and dumbells in place.  Even if someone CAN clamp this piece into an endmill machine with the magnets/dumbells in place, the vibration of the cutting operation may be enough to break them off.

Of course, we remove the magnet-dumbbell for machining. After that the part will be cleaned/baked again. And Yehonathan is going to glue the magnet-dumbbell again.

Unbaked steel music wire from  "Ca Fine Wire Co" from 24" od spool, od 0.0017" used. Identical to the one that broke.

The set up as shown with silver plated screws-washers on clamp. The unused clamp edges were sanded on P800 paper at 45 degrees just not to be very sharp.

Use your finger to feel the sharpness of  edge and sand till it gets a little bit not so sharp. The drawing note is "sharp edges" on wire clamp for low loss, high Q in mind.

The wire broke at the midle with single load 295 grms

The wire hold on overnight at single load 242 grms  Vezo torque wrench is not accurate!  This test was performed ~ 1.5Nm  DO NOT USE THIS NUMBER! (added at 8-10-2016)

This gives us a factor of 2 safety  with loop suspended of 250 grms small optic.

Some unused optics in the BS chamber were removed. 

After that the beam splitter has been drag wiped. 

So now the BS chamber is waiting for the installation of  the other core optics i.e. PRM, SRM and Tip-Tilts. 

-- removing of unused optics

      There were some unused optics, mainly 1.5 inch optics which had been used for the oplevs in the chamber. 

Kathaine, Shamila (Team Magnet) and Kiwamu took those optics out from the chamber.

And then we carefully wrapped each of them by aluminum foils and put them in some clear boxes.

In fact, before wrapping them, we gently attached lens papers on their HR surfaces such that aluminum foils can not damage it.

Now there are only three 1.5 inch optics in the chamber, and they are supposed to be used for the oplevs.

We didn't remove any of the 2 inch optics and the PZT mirrors because they are still going to be used.

These are the pictures of the BS chamber after we cleaned up them. 

-- wiping of the BS

        Rana and Kiwamu drag wiped the HR surface of the BS by using lens paper with the solvents.

The below is the procedure we did. You can find some details about the wiping technique for suspended optics in this entry.

In this time we could wipe the beam splitter without removing the front earthquake stops because the beam splitter was brought close enough to us. 

(1). put some blocks attaching the edge of the bottom plate of the tower in order to record the original position.

(2).  locked the beam splitter to the frame by screwing the earthquake stops.

(3). made sure if it is really locked by seeing the output signal of the OSEMs in dataviewer. If it's locked successfully, the resonant frequency gets higher and the Q-value gets lower.

(3).  moved the BS tower close to the door in order to reach the beam splitter easily.

(4). inspected the surface by using a fiber light. There were about 10 bright spots on the HR surface.

(5). wiped the surface three times by using the lens paper with Aceton.

(6). wiped it several times with Isopropyl.

(7). inspected the surface again, found there were no big bright spots near the center. Thumbed up 

(8). put the tower back to the original place and released the beam splitter from the earthquake stops.

I wiped both surfaces of the REFL second steering mirror.

However no improvements. The glitches still remain.

Randy Trudeau scanned our Window laptop Dell 13" Vostro and Steve's memory stick for virus. Nothing was found. The search continues...

Rana thinks that I'm creating these virus beasts with taking pictures with Dino Capture and /or Data Ray on the window machine........

The ndsproxy tcl task on nodus was eating up all the CPU and making the elog slow. I killed it and restarted it.

It looks like it hasn't been making a log file since January. Someone who has some skill in decoding the cryptic csh stdout redirection

syntax should look into this (its in target/ndsproxy/)

40m wiki seems to have been down for quite a while now but I can't see any info in the elog about it.  Is there some ongoing problem?

 There was an email from Dave Barker about this.  They had to reorganize the DNS at LHO.  The URL that should be used is: http://blue.ligo-wa.caltech.edu:8000/40m

 Nope.  I know I had the right address, and it was down for me too all weekend.  It's better now though.  blue.ligo-wa.caltech.edu was up though.

 Thanks Jamie, I've updated the links from the ATF wiki to reflect this.
