I found that the ETMX F0 and F1 GAS control got saturated.
- There was a sudden but continuous drop in the control outputs (see the left figure below).
- The drop started at different moments by about 6h 30min in F0 and F1.
- I could not find any activity logs corresponding to this events.
-
The net height variation of the BF with respect to the chamber in this 1 week is ~ +50 um (see the right figure below).
-
There were two components contributing to this height variation.
- 1. Gradual drift (due to the temperature fluctuation?)
-
2. Sudden jump at the moment of the maintenance work (with
SAFE
state) - Both are caused by the saturation (absense) of the control in F0 and F1 GAS.
-
There were two components contributing to this height variation.
-
Now I temporarily put setpoint values on the F0 and F1 GAS DC control to compensate the saturation.
- In return for that, the height of the BF has increased: +50 um ---> + 105 um
- I believe it could not affect that much in the payload performance (oplev centering, DRIVEALIGN, etc...) ...maybe
-
To compensate the DC control outputs in a correct way, I want to offload them with fishing rods.
- I already put the task into the planner.
- But I feel this work would be less prior than other commissioning tasks, so its time slot can be rearranged.
