Time domain control using LQR technique is now applied to ETMX sus position. The plan was to do it for oplevs, I'll do it after the vent.

The cost function for state space variables was determined by TF  900 / (s + 30)^2. There was no penulty imposed for velocity, only for position. We can try that configuration as well.

[Unni, Manasa, Jenne]

It turned out that the beam was a teeny bit high in the corner, so we touched PZT1 and PZT2 knobs to translate the beam down a bit.

Now the beam is centered on the BS (using the 45 degree non-iris target), centered on ETMY (using Steve's latest target, which worked perfectly), and then BS was aligned a tiny bit (really, it didn't need much) to get the beam centered on ETMX.

After dinner I'll align ITMX and ITMY such that their beams retroreflect and I get MICH fringes.  I'll also align SRM and PRM to retroreflect.  Check no clipping on AS path, get REFL path out, center IPPOS and IPANG, check POX, POY and POP.  Then, I think we might be almost done.

[Jenne, Manasa]

Using the alignment of the PZTs and BS from pre-dinner, where the beam was hitting the center of both ETMs, we aligned the DRMI.  The beam was off on the SRM in yaw by ~half a beam diameter, so I undid Koji's movement of SR2 from a week ago.  I loosened the SR2 dog clamps, touched it gently on the base to do a little bit of angle, then re-clamped it.  Once again, Steve's new brass centering target was awesome, since it was on the SRM while I was moving SR2. 

We approximately recentered the beam on the AS camera, although it didn't need much once we got the beam out of the vacuum, by centering it on all of the output AS path mirrors.

We also got IPPOS out of the vacuum.  Manasa was in the process of centering the QPD when the laptop died from too long being unplugged, so we leave that for tomorrow.

Left to do:

REFL path.  REFL is not coming out of the vacuum, and with the light access connector I can't reach any of the REFL steering mirrors, since they're in the center of the IOO table.

IPANG.  Should be easy.

POP, POX, POY.  Need to the the camera-on-a-stick back down to the corner (from ETMY) and point it at the pickoff mirrors to ensure that beam is getting out of the vacuum.

 Steve!! The light access connector got more ripped during the work last night...we've just taped it back. We might need  to figure out a better way to do this than just cutting through the cover.

 Hi everyone,

I've been working a bit on neural network code for a controller, and thus far I have code that creates a reference plant neural network. This is necessary to perform a gradient-descent learning algorithm on a controller neural network (one that reads an error signal and outputs actuation force). Because the error signal is read after the previous output of the controller neural network has passed through the plant, in order to calculate the gradient, either the inverse of the plant needs to be calculated, or the plant can be simulated through a neural network, and the error signal can thus be back-propagated through the plant neural network to find the gradient with respect to the output (as opposed to with respect to the plant), and thus back-propagated through the controller network in order to learn. 

I have uploaded to my directory a directory neural_plant. The most important file is reference_plant.c, which compiles with the command

 gcc reference_plant.c -o reference_plant -lfann -lm

The code runs on a file called reference_plant.data, which consists of a series of delayed inputs i_1, i_2, i_3 ... i_{n - 1} of the plant signals and then an output that is i_{n}, the subsequent signal. Parallel streams may also be used, if more than one signal is to be read. The top of the file must contain the number of total training packets (input-output groups), followed by the number of inputs, and the number of outputs. reference_plant.c also has constant variables which specify the number of hidden neurons, which can be changed. 

 QPD at IPPOS has been centered by removing the filter at the QPD.

So we need to remember to check back on AS camera path and the IPPOS as well in addition to the usual MCrefl path.

P.S. We would be happy to have a new laptop in the lab to replace "Belladonna"!

 [Manasa, Jenne]

We think this math is wrong.

If we have P mW through the Faraday, PRM's transmission is 5.5%, BS transmission is 50%, Recycling gain is ~10, pickoff fraction is ~100ppm, we have:

P mW * 5.5e-2 * 0.5 * 10 * 100e-6 = P * 2750e-8 mW = P * 2.7e-5 mW.

So, if P=10 (10mW through the Faraday), we should have 2.7e-4 mW = 2.7e-7 W = 0.27 microwatts = not so many watts.    

If P = 100 (100mW through the Faraday), we should have 2.7 microwatts. Still, not so many watts.

We have the Watec pointed at POY right now, DRMI is flashing, I'm waving the IR card in front of the mirror, and Manasa isn't able to see anything on the monitor.  The power into the vacuum is 100mW (we just measured and adjusted it), so even if we were getting a full 100mW through the Faraday, it would be hard to see.  If we're assuming we get ~half the power through the Faraday, then we should only have 1 microwatt

[Jenne, Unni, Manasa]

I touched some in-vac steering mirrors, so we have REFL and IPANG coming out of the vacuum, not clipping.  IPPOS was done yesterday.  I re-checked a few optics in the AS path that were hard to see yesterday while the plastic light access connector was in place, and AS still looks good.

Except for POX, POY, POP, and putting the regular EQ stops back on PRM, I think we're done with the in-vac stuff.

 We can't mathdo

 [Rana, Jenne, Manasa]

POX is coming out of the vacuum.  We'll do POY tomorrow.  We were able to hold the Watec outside the chamber and focus it on the pickoff mirror, and make sure it was roughly centered.  Then we took the lens off the camera, put the camera in the POX beam path, and I steered the pickoff mirror until we were hitting the camera.  POY will be done the same way.

POP is more challenging, since the transmission of the G&H mirrors is so low.  We're not able to see a beam on an IR card held in the POP beam path.  I had thought of removing PR2, getting the beam out, then putting PR2 back (using the same dog clamping some alignment markers technique that we use for the test masses), but the G&H mirrors have a 2 degree wedge, so this won't work.  It would be fine for pitch, since the arrow is on the side of the optic, but it wouldn't be correct for yaw.

Maybe we should do something similar to what Suresh et. al. did when they set POP up originally - I think they put a green laser pointer on the POX table, and aligned it such that they were hitting the correct spot on PR2 and PRM (correct = the same as the IR spot, which should be the center of the optics).  If we can do that with the POP in-vac steering mirrors, then we're fine, and POP should come out when we're back to high power.

All video capture snapshots of tonights pictures are on the pianosa desktop.

 We would appreciate some plots. Learning curves of recurrent NN working as a plant are interesting. For harmonic oscillator your RNN should not contain any hidden layers - only 1 input and 1 output node and 2 delays at each of them. Activation function should be linear. If your code is correct, this configuration will match oscillator perfectly. The question is how much time does it take to adapt.

Does FANN support regularization? I think this will make your controller more stable. Try to use more advanced algorithms then gradient descent for adaptation. They will increase convergence speed. For example, look at fminunc function at Matlab.

Getting POP:

We put a green laser pointer at ~4 inches on the POX table, and steered it using a mirror on the POX table to hit the center of the last in-vac mirror that POP sees.  I then steered that mirror so we were hitting the center of the other POP in-vac steering mirror, and hitting the same spot as the main IR beam.  It is easy to hold an IR card in front of PR2 and see the IR and green beams simultaneously.  I aligned both of the POP in-vac steering mirrors such that the green beam is co-aligned with the IR beam at PR2, as well as as far as I could reach toward the face of PRM from the ITMX door. 

Note:  The drawings by Koji have the POP "forward" beam (transmission through PR2 of the beam from PRM to PR2) dumped, while the POP "backward" beam (transmission through PR2 of the beam from PR3 to PR2) leaving the vacuum.  I aligned the steering mirrors such that the 'forward' beam would come out, although no dump is in place to dump the other beam.  I can't think of a reason why we care one way or the other, but I feel like Koji has perhaps mentioned something in the past.  I need to figure this out before we put doors on.

Getting POY:

Like yesterday with POX, we used the Watec with the aperture fully open to look at the POY pickoff, while I held the IR card in front of the mirror, to confirm that the beam was ~on the center of the optic. Then we took the lens off the camera, and made sure that the POY beam hit the CCD on the POY table.

To do list for Monday: While we are putting the heavy doors on, someone needs to wave an IR card in front of the IPANG steering mirrors in the ETMY chamber, while someone else takes a photo / still snapshot with the Watec.  Also, Manasa wanted to retake in-vac photos of at least the ITMY chamber, since SR2 was moved a very slight amount.  Also, also, someone tall needs to put the regular EQ stops on the PRM face (we have the old spring ones in there now).

Before pumpdown, we also need to get the IPANG beam centered on the PD.  The beam is cleanly coming out of the vacuum and hitting the first out of vac steering mirror, I just haven't centered it onto the QPD. 

Barring any other thoughts that people have of things that *must* be done before we pump down, I think we're ready to start putting heavy doors on the chambers on Monday.

Other thoughts, for next vent:  We need to re-look at the ITMY table.  POY's pickoff is just too close to the main beam.  Is it possible to move the AS steering mirrors and get POY from the BS table?  VENT CZAR: please put looking at this on the next vent to-do list.

Unaltered PR2 images, with IR card, without card, and steering mirror:

Unaltered POX and POY images:

The POX images only needed a major brightness reduction and increased contrast to view:

The POY images needed their intensity histograms shifted slightly right and made left-tailed:

I did TT alignment using red laser and QPD.

 I had a problem aligning TT with frame number SN-035 as some screws are damaged so all what I could move were 2 blades on the sides of the mirrors. But this was not enough to align pitch and yaw simultaneously.  It is possible to align pitch only, but then I got a huge yaw angle (~0.05-0.1 rad). The only option I had was to make a reasonable alignment in yaw and then suspend several washes on the screw on the bottom of the mirror to align pitch.

Attached are flag positions inside coils. 1 - SN034, 2 - SN012, 3 - SN006, 4 - SN035. For each TT there are 4 pictures with flag 1-4: UL, LL, UR, LR

I've installed Guralp readout box back and it turned out that it does not work with voltage provided from the rack (+13.76 0 -14.94).  +/-12 voltage regulators inside the box convert it to -0.9 0 -12. I've connected the box to +/-15 DC voltage supply to measure seismic motion at the ETMY table. Readout box works fine with +/- 15.

Seismic noise on the ETMY table measured to be a few times higher then on the floor in horizontal direction in the frequency range 50 - 200 Hz. Attached are compared spectrums of X, Y and Z motions.

I've applied LQR approach to MC_L locking. Results show that LQR does not make MC_F signal smaller below 0.3 Hz in contrast with classical locking. This might indicate that in this frequency range we see sensing noise as LQR was provided with state-space model of MC only so it tries to reduce displacement noise. It is also possible that state-space model is not accurate enough.

[The 40m Family]

The access connector and all heavy doors are back on. 

Jamie put the regular viton EQ stops back on PRM, since he had to adjust the distance between the EQ stops and the PRM anyway.  Jamie also waved an IR card near the IPANG steering mirrors in ETMY, but it was not possible to take a good photo.  Jamie certifies that the beam is centered on both of those 2 optics.

I have centered IPPOS and IPANG QPDs. 

All oplevs need a little realignment, especially ETMY, which had it's lens removed (Rana has a Wall of Shame photo of this, which is why it was removed by him).  Steve will look into this tomorrow, after he starts pumping.

I have turned off all PZT high voltage supplies for in-vac PZTs: The input PZTs, the output PZTs, and the OMC PZTs (which weren't on, but I confirmed they were off).

I have also prepared the 3 low-power items for high power: MC refl's path was changed back to regular BS, AS camera was moved to its nominal position, and IPPOS has its ND filters back.  MC refl and the AS camera will need to be realigned once we're actually at high power tomorrow afternoon.

Long vent, but good work everyone.

 I'm not sure what the problem is here.  Den and I looked at it for a few minutes, before I went back to helping with putting doors on.  The Sorensons are not supplying the rack power for 1X1.  There are some flat cables which go from the fuses on the side of the rack up to the cable tray, and go elsewhere.  Den is going to continue looking into this, but I think it's a moderately high priority, since lots of things should be getting served by that same power.

  The IFO will be at atmosphere  overnight. The annuloses are pumped down. The access connector jam nuts are tightened to 45 ft/lbs

Actual pumpdown will start tomorrow morning.

  What was the reasoning / resolution of the POP forward/backward beam? Are we going to have the right beam for DRMI locking?

From Koji's email to me:

"With the backward beam you can see the returning beam even when the PRM is misaligned. That's the only difference. Once the PRM is aligned both beams have the same information."

So, we should be fine.

 IFO P1= 1mTorr,   CC1 = 5e-4 Torr.  The IFO is ready for work. Be free to open the shutter and turn on HV

Jenne will double check the MC -REFL path for 1W power.  There is a manual block on the PSL table.

Both IPPOS and IPANG beams are (after turning on the input and output PZTs) hitting their QPDs.  However IPANG was saturating.  We went down to take a look, and we had ~2.8mW incident on the QPD.  There was an ND filter sitting unmounted, next to the diode, and an empty fork directly in front of the diode.  Since IPPOS also has an ND filter in front, we stuck this ND filter back in.  Now we are no longer saturating.

We're not hitting (yet) the center of these 2 PDs, but we're at least hitting the diodes, so it shouldn't be too hard to steer the input PZTs.

Whomever took away this ND filter without elogging it was BAD!!!  (Jamie, when we first found IPANG coming out of the vacuum during this vent, we moved some of the mirrors on the out-of-vac table in the IPANG path.  Was the ND filter removed at that time?  Or has it been out for much longer, and we never noticed because IPANG wasn't coming nicely out of the vacuum / was clipping on the oplev lens?)

[Jenne, Evan, Den]

MC REFL beam is back on the PD, and the mode cleaner locks.  It looks like we're a little high on the MC Refl camera, but the MC spots were measured, and don't look like they changed from Friday (or maybe Monday?), the last time they were measured. We took this to be acceptable MC alignment, and did not touch the PSL table's pointing.

The laser power reduction optics were removed, and placed out of the way on the PSL table (where do they belong?).  PSL-POS and PSL-ANG aren't quite perfectly centered, but a beam dump had been in the way of that path, so I don't know if they drifted bad, or if it was a sudden thing.  The beam is still hitting the QPDs though.  After removing the beam power reducing optics, we recentered the MC REFL beam on the REFL PD, still not touching any PSL alignment.  MC mirrors were aligned (Den did this work while I showed Evan around, so I don't know by how much), and MC Trans was maximized (really MC Refl was minimized, making sure that the unlocked MC Refl was the usual 4.something units on the EPICS readback.

We turned on the PZT high voltage supplies for the output steering PZTs and for the input steering PZTs.  We left the OMC locking PZT supplies off, since we're still not using the OMC.  Sadly, the beam coming out of the AS port looks clipped somewhere.  [SELF: attach the videocapture shot when you get to work tomorrow] We tried moving PZT2's sliders, but nothing happened!!! I can move BS and the ITMs to get the beam mostly unclipped, but I really need to be able to move the PZTs, or at least one of them.  IPPOS and IPANG beams are hitting the QPDs (although they're not centered perfectly), so the PZTs came back mostly to the same positions, but not exactly.  Evan and I sat next to the input steering PZT controllers in 1Y3, and moved the sliders around.  For most of the range, nothing changes on the LCD screen for either PZT2 pitch or yaw.  Yaw can make 2 small steps near the far negative side of the slider, but nothing happens for most of the slider.  Pitch really doesn't do anything for any part of the slider.  We ensured that the LED labeled "CL ON" was not illuminated, next to the button labeled "closed loop", for all 4 controllers (PZT1 and 2, pitch and yaw).  Sad!!   I don't know if the LCD screen on the front panel of the PZT controllers is a readback of signal supplied to the PZTs, or of the strain gauges.  I really hope it's the controller that's not working, rather than the PZTs themselves.  The PZTs were fine before we vented, and Koji and I did our centering of the PZT range check during the vent, so they were fine then.  What happened???  All PZT high voltage supplies were off during the pump-down.  I turned them off yesterday, and Evan and I turned them back on tonight around 9:30pm or 10pm.  What else could make them bad?

Without being able to move PZT2, just using BS and / or ITMs, I was unable to completely make the beam look nice on the AS camera.  I came close, but it still seems a little bit funny, and I had to move the suspended optics quite a bit to find that place.  This is not good. 

 The new cold cathode gauge CC1 is in place. We were at atmosphere for 28 days ......more later

I do not remember removing anything from that setup.  We just moved some mirrors and lenses around

  [Koji, Steve, Den]

TT alignment is fine, yaw damping is satisfactory, pitch damping is slow. We might want to add magnets to the mirror and attach blades to the frame for pitch edge current damping.

We are moving towards electronics testing.

Since the MC spots are good, I put the beam back on WFS 1 and WFS 2.

Also, I changed the indicators on the LockMC screen to reflect the change in elog 7289, where we added another on/off switch for the WFS so that the ASS could be on, but the WFS off.  For the last month, the WFS could be disabled, but the MC screen's indicators would suggest that we were pushing very significantly on all 3 MC mirrors.  Now the MC screen reflects reality a little better.

I also uncommented the WFS lines in the mcup script.  Den had commented them out, but didn't elog about it!  C'mon Den, please elog stuff!!!!  (He confessed out loud the other day, but it still wasn't in the elog).

I'm leaving the WFS loops disabled (even though the MC autolocker tries to turn them on, I have them manually disabled using the extra on/off switch) since they're unstable.  I'm in the process of figuring out what's wrong.  So far, the WFS improve the MC alignment for a minute or two, and then they totally misalign the MC.  This is a work in progress.

Jenne, Mike and I installed all of the post holders we could today including: REFL11, REFL33, REFL55, AS55, MCRef, POX11 and POP55.  We did not install AS110, POY or REFL165 because there are interferences that will require moving stuff around. We also did not mount POP22 because it is a peely wally ThorLabs PD that will be replaced by a strong, straight and right thinking LIGO PD in the fullness of time.  We did move it out of the way however which is no more than it deserves. Next step this afternoon Mike and I will install all of the telescopes and launching hardware.  Then with the help of Steve we will begin routing the fibers.  The splitter module will be here by next Monday, the laser by the following Friday and then we will light up the fibers. 

Atm1,  TT 1.5" high adaptor base will be back from the shop in 10 days.

Atm2,  There is no PITCH damping, YAW edie current damping works well at 0.5 mm gap

Atm3,  Adjustable Al -disc that contains a small magnet is purely designed.

We have to come up with a solution to have damping in PITCH

 I'm proposing split loom tubing that would run in the cable tray  to protect the fibers  inside of it.  This tubing diameter in the cable tray can be 1.5-2"  and out of the tray 0.75"

Mike and I installed all of the telescopes and launching hardware for REFL11, REFL33, REFL55, AS55, MCRef, POX11 and POP55. On Monday afternoon Steve will work with us on the fiber routing.  Steve is buying some protective covers for the fibers.

 I am working towards redesigning the endtables. I've attached the first version of the layout. As per Steve's comment I've tried to leave a 2" empty space on all sides of the table. It still has to be updated with the whole 40m layout to be more precise about the pickoff and the ingoing beam directions.

1. I wonder how the mode profiling/matching was considered in the new layout.

I can see the distances between the components and lenses are largely different from the old ones.

This is OK if you plan to go through a new mode matching solution with new lenses.
But it takes
 a certain amount of time.

Note that we don't care the distance after the last lens as the Rayleigh range there is supposed
to be long enough to allow this kind of change.

2. The huge frustration of the green alignment in the old setup was caused by the 3D beam steering
at the last two 2" mirrors. i.e. the beam elevation on the table does not match with the beam elevation of the cavity.
In order to avoid this, I suggest you to use three 45 deg 2" mirrors instead of two. In fact these mirrors are supposed to be used at 45deg incidence!

3. The incident green beam and the transmitted IR beam should share a same path as they
 share a same cavity mode.
This means that you should use a harmonic separator for the transmitted light pick-off.

4. Use the harmonic separator for the fiber path too. Get the mirror spec from Jamie.

5. Since the optical window on the chamber has a wedge angle, the beam paths are not straightforward.
The cavity beams can't be moved as they are constrained by the arm cavity.
Probably there is almost no freedom to move even for the oplev beams.
It would be safe just to follow the old positions and angles on the window.
Make sure the beam on the drawing is realistic. The angles of the oplev beams in the old setup look strange.

Is there a possibility to replace the optical window so that it has an AR for 532 and 1064 at least???

6. I wonder if the rejected beam by the Farady have a realistic angle or not. Check it with the old setup.
It is definitely better to have a steering mirrror and a lens before the refl PD.

7. The IR QPD and trans PD are intended to be used for the low and high power detection.
I forgot which is which. So check the range of them and think about the power distribution.

8. We should have separated CCDs for IR Trans and Green Refl.
We had a terrible ghost green beam on the IR trans CCD.
Thus, think about the amount of ghost reflection and consider filtering if necessary.

  Where is IP-ANG ? It is good practice to use two mirrors at launching and detecting the beam, so you can walk it - precisely adjust it.

The window can be replaced at  ~$1,500 ea. 10 weeks as optical quality BK7 with dual AR

MC WFS was fixed. Now it is running constantly with the autolocker.

Found a bug in the IOO screen: All of the 6 WFS signal indicators is liked to the same info (C1:IOO-MC1_PIT_OUTPUT).
Fix this, Jenne! Baaaaagghhhhh! 

What I did:

1. C1:IOO-MC_RFPD_DCMON indicator was saturating. "HOPR" of this entry was  set to 5 by running the following command:

ezcawrite C1:IOO-MC_RFPD_DCMON.HOPR 5

2. Scan MC2 spot position by using /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts/MC/moveMC2 scripts.
or the adjustment, C1:SUS-MC2_ASCPIT_EXC and C1:SUS-MC2_ASCYAW_EXC were excited with 300cnt at 12Hz and 10Hz, respectively.
The corresponding peaks (i.e. ANgle to length coupling) in C1:IOO-MC_F were monitored on DTT and adjusted so that the peaks are approximately nulled.

3. moveMC2 scripts are not perect to keep the maximum of the transmission. So, the alignment was adjusted with MC1 and MC3.

4. Repeated 2 and 3 until the alignment converges.

5. Once I got satisfied with the MC2 spot position, I went to the MC2 table and aligned the steering mirror before the QPD.

6. As these actions above moves the REFL beam, I went to the MC REFL path and adjusted the MC REFL PD position and the MC WFS spot positions.

7. Checked if the alignment is still good. The MC REFL is 0.50~0.51. Pretty good.

8. Run /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts/MC/WFS/WFS_FilterBank_offsets to register the current WFS offset etc.

9. At this point, MC WFS started working fine. I also confirmed the autolocker worked with this setting.

--------

Checked how the things are going in the morning. There were several unlocks. But the autolocker and WFS kept the cavity lcoked again.
Very good.

Some power fluctuation of ~1% is observed in the MC trans. I checked the PMC trans and found it is also fluctuating by 1% in a coherent way.
So I judge the WFS itself is fine. (See attached)

 cc1 = 2.3e-5 Torr at day 6 vacuum normal

 My bad.  As it turns out, you can't copy and paste between MEDM instances.  It is now fixed.

I'll come back to the PZTs later, but I want to write down all the elogs I have found so far that look relevant.

For some reason the frame builder and mx stream processes on ALL front ends were down.  I restarted the frame builder and all the mx_stream processes and everything seems to be back to normal.  Unclear what caused this.  The CDS guys are aware of the issue with the mx_stream stability and are working on it.

 I did relayed the oplev path with new  f 500 mm lens

pzt2 mod signals matched slider vals for both pitch and yaw

  pzt2 yaw mon output = 6
  pzt2 pitch mon output = 11.3

From the PZT connector-converter board we determined the following pin-outs:

  X=Yaw:  red=1, white=14, black=3 
  Y=Pitch:  red=2, white=15, black=16

We believe that red is signal, white/black/shield are all ground.  We also believe (although this is from the PMC PZT) that the expected capacitance of the PZTs should be in the 100's of nF range.

Here are the readings from the two PZT dsub connectors:

  pin 1:14   PZT1 = ".003" on 2uF scale
             PZT2 = ".184"
   
  pin 2:15   PZT1 = ".002" on 2uF scale
             PZT2 = ".202"

So we think this means (given this crappy capacitance meter) that PZT2 is showing roughly 200nF, which sounds ok, but that PZT1 is indeed bad.

So next we investigate the PZT2 driver.

[Koji, Jenne]

Jamie and I pulled the whole PZT driver for both PZT1 and PZT2. 

Koji and I found that each HV power supply (the left-most module) has 2 fuses.  Both HV supplies (PZT1 and PZT2) have one blown fuse.  The "T2L250A" measures low resistance for both HV supplies, but the "T250mAL250V" measures Open for both HV supplies.

I have ordered 10 pieces of each kind of fuse, Next Day shipping, from DigiKey.

This is the third morning in a row that the MC2 was tripped.  Would you look at it Koji?

Den Martynov received 40m specific safety training.

We observed one or two ants climbing over PMC optics without booties and safety glasses.

The floor was mopped with strong Bayer Home Pest Control solution in the Vertex area.

Do not work inside the 40m lab if you are sensitive to chemicals!

I spotted around 4 within 30 minutes working at the PSL table even after the deathly spray. They seem to be running down from the cables on the oscilloscope rack to the table and the optics.
