 * Activity report for weeks of 12/26 and 1/2 === Type B (Mark) ===
==== Report for week of 3/13 ====
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):
 * We took a full set of TFs with the BF stationary but the IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging.
 * We marked peeling or damaged areas on the clean booth floor for Furuta-san.
 * We installed the SF, measuring its weight in the process.
 * We found the crossbars supporting the SF jacks were too high to allow the SF ring to sit on the pillars while also being partially supported by the jacks. (This was an issue with the 3D CAD - the model of the NB-01 jack had a lower minimum height than reality.) We lowered the crossbars by 5 mm and put thicker spacers (12 mm instead of 3 mm) on top of the jacks supporting the SF and everything worked well.
 * We installed newly cleaned L-brackets under the BF and SF.
 * We installed a new-style cable clamp under the SF. (This was easier with the SF on the security structure, so we had not done it earlier.)
 * We installed the SF-BF rod and hex cable clamp.
 * We suspended the BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS section and found it was light, presumably because it had been trimmed according to the Promec measurement of the SF, not Hirata-san's later value.
 * We added extra ballast mass corresponding to the difference and found the BF section floated at a good height.
 * We moved trim mass around on the BF until it hung level, and adjusted the IRM and OSEMs until the IRM-IM EQ stops were well-centered and all the OSEMs were centered laterally and mid-range.
 * We ran 11 extra 20-m in-air cables from the tank towards the rack. (We will need to add 10-m extensions.)
 * We connected most of the cables to the vacuum flanges with screws and anti-feedthrough adapters. (Some remain to be done.)
 * We debugged a 900 Hz ringing in the BF LVDT, which turned out to be because the damping was enabled without appropriate filters or gains.
 * We debugged excess noise in the TM-H3 OSEM, which turned out to be mostly due to a faulty cable. However we worry that some of it may be due to some extensions made of non-vacuum-compatible ribbon cable which we added because the TM-H2 and -H3 OSEM cables are too short.
 * We installed new security structure parts at the RM level.
 * We found all the parts for the lower breadboard suspension, including the blades, blade bases, associated cable clamps etc. We also found the jigs for installing the blades.
 * Fabian finalized the BF ballast mass design and started on the SF.
==== Report for week of 3/21 ====
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):
 * We took a full set of TFs with the SF stationary but the BF, IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging.
 * We also did a TF from BF LVDT actuation and confirmed that it was working.
 * We got SUMCON running on Perry's computer and worked out how to do cut-down versions of Fabian's full Type-B model corresponding to the various partial configurations we have data for.
Line 7: Line 31:
  * Hirata-san:
   * Modified parts list and screw list for payload.
   * Sent lists to i-ject and asked for preliminary quotes.
   * Made drawings for some jigs (PR hold-down jig) and some parts for payload (PR/SR wire clamps with disposable jaw pieces - improved version with disposable pieces in both primary and secondary clamps).
   * For Type Bp:
    * Searched for PR gluing jigs.
    * Washed and assembled recoilmass base for mirror hanging jigs, and sent them to Kamioka.
    * Washed additional masses for IM and sent them to Kamioka.
   * For others:
    * Washed IMMT plate and sent them to Kamioka.
  * Fabian
   * Designed a pull down system to fix the PR IM to the EQ stop (similar to the SR one).
   * Worked on design of the SR assembly frame. As hoped, the SR version can be almost identical to the BS version.
   * Worked on design of additional trim mass (≈18 kg) for the BS BF.
   * Checked assembly PR/SR drawings. There were a few corrections/changes.
   * Checked fastener list. There were few corrections/changes.
   * Checked component list for the manufacture order. There were few corrections/changes.
   * Helped in searching for the PR gluing jigs.
  * Mark
   * Started design of SR assembly frame (but then passed it to Fabian).
   * Worked on task lists and schedule.
 * Plan for 1/10-13
  * Mark and Fabian at Kamioka:
   * Finish rebalance of IM
   * Reinstall IRM, adjust OSEMs
   * Replace broken Type 3 cable.
   * Do TFs from IRM OSEMs to IRM and IM OSEMs.
   * Cable up and test BF LVDT and fishing rod (time permitting).
   * Disconnect BF and ship back to Mitaka (time permitting).
  * Hirata-san:
   * More SR procurement.
==== Plan for coming weeks ====
Next week:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday except for Hirata-san Wednesday-Friday).
 * Finish SF installation.
 * Finish BF cabling, hang BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS from SF and confirm weight matches load capacity.
 * Re-trim BF as necessary.
 * Get picomotor driver working.
Week after next:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Prepare for PI installation.
