Matt logged in and rebuilt the TDS stuff for us on Mafalda in /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds_090304.

He says that he can't build his stuff on 64-bit because there's not a sanctioned 64-bit build of GDS yet.

This should have all the latest fixes in it. I tried using both the old and new code from allegra and they both are fine:

./tdsdata 16384 2 C1:IOO-MC_F > /users/rana/test.txt

I loaded the data I got with the above command and there were no data dropouts. Possibly the dropout problem is only

associated with testpoints and so we have to wait for the TP fix.

After the boot-fest, the nightly backup to Powell-Booth failed, and an automatic email got sent to me. I restarted the ssh agent, following the instructions in /cvs/cds/caltech/scripts/backup/000README.txt .

I tested new tdsdata and found it was working well.

I excited C1:SUS-ITMY_SUSPIT_EXC with tdssine, and get data from C1:LSC-TRY_OUT (testpoint) and C1:SUS- ITMY_OPLEV_PERROR (recorded point) with new and old tdsdata.

With old tdsdata (/cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds/bin/tdsdata), I found some jumps of datapoint, which is a same problem with before (Attachment 1).

With new tdsdata (/cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds_090304/bin/tdsdata), there looks to be no jumps (Attachment 2; taken about 10 minutes after Attachment 1).

The problem of old tdsdata looks to be remaining even for recordedpoints.

You should use /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds_090304/bin/tdsdata.

We confirmed that new tds(/cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds_090304/) works well on linux 64, and replaced it to /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds/

The old /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds is put in /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/tds.bak

Yoichi, Alberto

this afternoon we centered the optical levers for all the optics.

To do that we first ran the alignment scripts for all the cavities.

Because of the network interference we've had from the CLIO system for the past 3-4 days, I asked the guys to remove

the test stand from the 40m lab area. It is now in the 40m control room. Since it needed an ethernet connection to get out

for some reason we've let them hook into GC. Also, instead of using a real timing signal slaved to the GPS, Jay suggested

just skipping it and having the Timing Slave talk to itself by looping back the fiber with the timing signal. Osamu will enter

more details, but this is just to give a status update.

The seisBLRMS has been running on megatron via an open terminal ssh'd into there from allegra with matlab running. This

is because I couldn't get the compiled matlab functionality to work.

Even so, this running script has been dying lately because of some bogus 'NDS' error. So for today I

have set the NDS server for mDV on megatron to be fb40m:8088 instead of nodus.ligo.caltech.edu. If this seems to fix the problem

I will make this permanent by putting in a case statement to check whether or not the mDV'ing machine is a 40m-martian or not.

 The tdscntr.pl in the new tds was probably the one from LLO, which is actually the version I sent to Tobin. It had paths and channel names defined for the LLO. So I copied back my original 40m version.

This morning there was a confliction of tpman running on fb40m and kami1. Alex fixed it temporary but Rana suggested it was better to move both PCs outside martian. We moved both PCs physically to the control room and connected to general network with a local router. I believe it won't conflict anymore but if you guess these PC might have trouble please feel free to shutdown.

Today's work summary:

 *connected expansion chassis to bscteststand

 *obtained signals on dataviewer, dtt for both realtime and past data on bscteststand with 64kHz timing signal

Questions:

Excitation channels are not shown, only "other" is shown.

qts.mdl should run with 16kHz but 16kHz timing causes a slow speed on dataviewer and failing data aquisition on dtt. We are using 64kHz timing but is it really correct?

On Monday evening, I ran this command: trianglewave C1:IOO-MC_REFL_OFFSET 0 4 120 600;ezcawrite C1:IOO-MC_REFL_OFFSET 1.76

which I thought (from the syntax help) would move that offset slider with a period of 120 seconds for 600 seconds. In actuality, the last argument is the

run time in number of periods. So the offset slider has been changing by 8 Vpp for most of the last day. Oops. The attached image shows what effect

this had in the MC transmitted power (not negligible). This would also make the locking pretty difficult.

In the second plot you can see the zoom in view for ~30 minutes. During the first part, the MCWFS are on and there are large fluctuations

in the transmitted power as the WFS offset changes. This implies that the large TEM00 carrier offset we induce with the slider couples into

the WFS signals because of imbalances in the quadrant gains - we need someone to balance the RF gains in the WFS quadrants by injecting

an AM laser signal and adjusting the digital gains.

Since there is still a modulation of the MC RFPD DC with the WFS on, we can use this to optimize the REFL OFFSET slider. The third plot

shows a 8 minute second trend of this. Looks like the slider offset of zero would be pretty good.

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/)

I modified the Video.db file used by c1aux located in  /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1aux.

I added the following channels to the db file, intended for either read in or read out by the digital camera scripts.

C1:VID-ETMY_X_COM
C1:VID-ETMY_Y_COM

C1:VID-ETMY_X_STDEV

C1:VID-ETMY_Y_STDEV

C1:VID-ETMY_XY_COVAR

C1:VID-ETMY_EXPOSURE

C1:VID-ETMY_GAIN

C1:VID-ETMY_X_UL

C1:VID-ETMY_Y_UL

C1:VID_ETMY_X_SIZE

C1:VID_ETMY_Y_SIZE

A better naming scheme can probably be devised, but these will do for now.

This morning, MC alignment was gone and MC wasn't lock.

We checked old value of pitch, yaw, and position offset of each MC mirror, and found they were jumped.

We don't know the reason of this jump, but we restore each offset value and MC backed to lock.

The spare M126N-1064-700,  sn 5519 of Dec 2006 rebuilt  NPRO's power output

 measured   750mW at DC2.06A with Ohpir meter.

Alberto's controller  unit 125/126-OPN-PS,  sn516m was disconnected from lenght measurment NPRO on the AP table.

5519 NPRO  was clamp to the optical table  without heatsink and it was on for 15 minutes.

Kakeru and Kiwamu

We placed a QPD on the PSL bench for PSL angle monitor.

 As we mentioned before, old QPD which used to be placed is broken.

 And we put broken QPD into the "photodiodes" box under the soldering table.

We found the MC reflection was distorted . And WFC beam went to upward of QPD

We recentered WFC beam and these problems were fixed

 I compiled seisBLRMS.

The tricks were the following:

(1) Don't add path in a deployed command.
It does not make sense to add paths in a compiled command because it may be moved to anywhere. Moreover, it can cause some weird side effects. Therefore, I enclosed the addpath part of mdv_config.m in a "if ~isdeployed ... end" clause to avoid adding paths when deployed. Instead of adding paths in the code, we have to add paths to necessary files with -I options at the compilation time. This way, mcc will add all the necessary files into the CTF archive.

(2) Add mex files to the CTF archive by -a options.
For some reason, mcc does not add necessary mex files into the CTF archive even though those files are called in the m-file which is being compiled. We have to add those files by -a options.

(3) NDS_GetData() is slow for nodus when compiled.
NDS_GetData(), which is called by get_data() stops for a few minutes when using nodus as an NDS server.
This problem does not happen when not compiled. I don't know the reason. To avoid this, I modified seisBLRMS.m so that when an environmental variable $NDS is defined, it will use an NDS server defined in this variable.

I wrote a Makefile to compile seisBLRMS. You can read the file to see the details of the tricks.
I also wrote a script start_seisBLRMS, which can be found in /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/DMF/compiled_matlab/seisblrms/. To start seisBLRMS, you can just call this script.
At this moment, seisBLRMS is running on megatron. Let's see if it continues to run without crashing.

We found c1lsc, c1iscex, c1iscey, c1susvme, c1asc and c1sosvme are dead.
We  turned off all watchdogs and turned off all lock of suspensions.
Then, I tried to reboot these machines from terminal, but I couldn't login to all of these machines.

So, we turned off and on key switches of these machines physically, and login to them to run startup scripts.

Then we turned on all watchdogs and restored all IFO.

Now they look like they are working fine.
 

I borrowed SR785 to measure AA, AI noise and TF.

The outside particle counts for 0.5 micron are 3 million this morning at 9am. Low clouds, foggy condition with low inversion layer.

This makes the 40m lab 30-50K

I just turned on the HEPA filter at the PSL enclosure.

Please, leave it on high

CES Mezzanine is beeing rebuilt to accommodate our new neighbor: the 20ft high water slide...& .jacuzzi

All our ac power transformers are up there. Yesterday we labelled the power switch of 480VAC on the mezz

that we need to keep to run the 3 cranes in the lab.
