For shifts for ER and OBS

• Shift members

Observation : Points to Remember

• Basic
  • Any problems during Observation will be discussed by Miyoki, Yamamoto, Ito and related group (and SEO members) and we decide the directions. Please report these 3 persons and in "klog" if you notice any problems.
  • If we encounter violent ocean conditions, temporal down of IFO will be selected.
  • Daily morning meeting won't be held during Observation to avoid dense situation. Daily necessary information including from office staffs will be sent via e-mail during 9am-10am.
• Issues
  • Shift Member Duty and Manual :
    • Basic monitoring and recording (by Miyakawa)
    • When should we try SAL (monkey) alignment ?
      • Manual (important check points)
    • How much IMC output power should be selected ?
  • Maintenance Day Activities (from CAL, DGS, FLC/SAF etc groups)
    • SAF/FCL: Weekly SAF/FCL check will be held in the morning on Tuesday (Furuta, Hayakawa, Yoshimura, Kamioka-mine company)
    • DGS:
    • CAL:

  • Restricted Remote Access (from T.Yamamoto)

    • We plan to stop the access to controls@k1gate again from 17:00 on 4/7.
    • If you face some emergency, please use your personal accounts in order to login DGS network.

      • > ssh firstname.lastname@172.16.33.11 <mailto:firstname.lastname@172.16.33.11>

    • I ask you to use these personal accounts only for a emergency response.

    • If you need remote access to know the site situation, subsystem status, etc as a daily check, please join to develop remote access tools such as SummaryPage, pastavi etc.

    • Unfortunately, some people probably used these accounts for daily monitoring not for a emergency response during previous run. But we need reliable observing data at least during the observing run.
  • Expected Improvements compared with the previous ER
    • Summary page reliability is enhanced ?
    • CAL injection reliability
    • SAL (monkey) Alignment reliability
    • Initial oplev (mirror alignment) condition at the starting point of relock process
    • ADS/BPC situation
    • IMC angular control
    • ISS stability
    • Expected kick at the unlock timing, and known annoying excitation of a suspension system..
    • Off load status for each suspension.
