summary : We need to check the actuation efficiency between ETMX and ETMY
I noticed that the situation of the de-whitening filter in ETMX is 1. add 1 stage in the state of the LOW_NOISING_ETM 2. add more 1 stage in the state of the LOW_NOISING_SUS_FOR_PRFPMI
So, I also change the LSC_LOCK guardian L2159 ezca['VIS-ETMX_BIO_TM_STATEREQ'] = 2 -> ezca['VIS-ETMX_BIO_TM_HP_STATEREQ'] = 2
But, the situation of lock loss didn't change (lock loss always happened when we request the more 1 stage de-whitening filter to ETMX) So, I temporary skip the 1 stage de-whitening filter from LSC_LOCK guardian. Then, observation state achieved, but sensitivity curve didn't change so much(Fig.1.). (red) 0 stage de-whitening filter to ETMX (Yesterday morning) (gold) 1 stage de-whitening filter to ETMX (This morning)
Next, I suspected the de-whitening filter didn't work, but it seemed working well (Fig.2.) Add the 20 Hz oscillation to ETMX TM (ETMX was LOCK_ACQUISITION state). (blue) silent case (green) 0-stage de-whitening filter (brown) 1-stage de-whitening filter (red) 2-stage de-whitening filter The height of the 20 Hz didn't change by changing the number of stage of the de-whitening filter
After that, we noticed the actuator balance between ETMX and ETMY was not so good and started the oscillation when ETMY TM mass lock. After ~ 5 second, lock loss happened. As very temporal, I minimize the time of ETMY mass lock, then, lock recovered, and sensitivity curve also recovered(Fig.2.).
