SHIFT GOAL:

The goal was to perform several CC scan at different SR angle. Nevertheless, due the not optimum condition of the MZ and OPA (waiting for the retuning) we decid to perform a couple of scan without changing the SR angle to check the SQZ alignment-

SHIFT activity:

We started at  16:00 UTC and to not interfere with the ITF and risk to unlock, we manually injected the SQZ. 

• System initial status: ITF LOW NOISE 3; SQZ_MAIN @SQZ_Locked_NO_FC

• 16:10:39 EQB1  fast shutter opened (process: SQZ_ctrl/shutter ‘open’)

After that the CC_loop was engaged and then  the AA (process: SQZ_PLL_AA/ Matrix and Filter ‘AA dither enable’).

• started a CC 4MHz phase scan @ 16:52. 

  • time per point = 6 s

  • - initial phase  = 20 degree

  • - final phase = 230 degree

  • - phase steps = 1 degree

  • - random phase = False

  • - Closed shutter sleep time = 120 s

  • - AA closed on dither = False

  • - cc loop gain   = 75000.0

N.B: No glitch during the scan, it was just before and after (see plot)

In meantime Henning checked the MZ and changed lowered again the offset at 0.035 V due to the humidity  misalignment that spoiled the contrast and induced the set point near the actuator saturation. After the Henning action we redid the scan. 

We stopped at 19.25 after that some data have been collected at the CC phase value corresponding to the SQZ and ASQZ, or better to the minimum and maximum values in the BRMS range @210 MHz and in other ranges.
