This afternoon with Manar, we finished connecting FP-cavity mirrors motors and alignment mirrors motors to their 3 ISP controllers.
We also added an Ethernet hub on top of these controllers to merge the controller's connections to the computer.
We added some cable extensions to the alignment mirrors motors.
We tested the connection and the controlling software made by Didier.
We used the supervisor software as one needs the trick to bypass the Didier safety procedure embedded in its user's software (Chassis12.exe and Chassis3.exe)
We were able to move the motors (tested only upon the 4 motors of the alignment mirrors) but sometimes it seems we have some connection bugs which freeze the access to the ISP controllers.
After some hours of pumping, the vacuum level decreased properly on the left vessel (input mirror) but it seems to decrease slowly on the right vessel (end mirrors).
In consequence, Frederic has been able to start the ionic pumping only on the left vessel (+ Turbo). The right vessel is still pumped by the Turbo pump.
at 5 pm, the pressure was 1.4e-8 for the left vessel and 1.9e-6 for the right vessel.
Depending on the pressure on Monday, Frederic could start the ionic pumping for the right vessel too.
