Thus, in view of O3, we decided to replace the MICOS ones with the Newport Agilis rotation stages (already used in INJ).
We turned off both CO2 lasers at 09.19 UTC in order to allow to the electronic people to change the connectors of the cables between the TCS room and the benches.
Then Franco worked on the software in order to implement the remote control.
Tomorrow we will continue with the installation.
Tomorrow we will complete the check of the proper operation of the rotation stages and we will set the right powers for all the actuation lines.
We turned on both lasers at 19.26 UTC to do the power tuning with the lasers at the steady state (fig. 1).
We left both CO2 lasers ON with the beams blocked on the benches.
NB: In the VPM the new process TCSAgilisRot had software problem and did not restarted, to be checked by Franco.
One of the main problem experienced yesterday was that the machine actusb2 was rebooted and after the reboot its configuration was not correct. This has been fixed by Giuseppe and the PyAgilisRot application could be now restarted.
In case of big troubles always check that the corresponding process on actusb2 are not running and in case kill them logging as virgorun.
For this setup we are borrowing the machine actusb2 (installed with SL6) from INJ and we are running there an instance of the PyAgilis software driving the Agilis 8 channel controller. The 2 servers dedicated to the control of the previuos rotators have been removed.
For data collection, the FbmMain configuration has been correspondingly updated and the 8 channels named:
- TCS_CO2_Channel1_Axis1_Position
- TCS_CO2_Channel1_Axis2_Position
- TCS_CO2_Channel2_Axis1_Position
- TCS_CO2_Channel2_Axis2_Position
- TCS_CO2_Channel3_Axis1_Position
- TCS_CO2_Channel3_Axis2_Position
- TCS_CO2_Channel4_Axis1_Position
- TCS_CO2_Channel4_Axis2_Position
Are now available on the DAQ (See Fig. 1)
