 * Hirata-san:
  * Worked on the PR optic removal jig.
  * Worked on getting modified quotes for PR/SR/BS parts.
 * Enzo-san
  * Worked on getting his drivers license.
  * Worked on getting familiar with the Type B circuit diagram.
 * Mark, Fabian (at Kamioka):
  * Tried different strategies for getting the IRM-IM EQ stops and IRM OSEMs to line up simultaneously.
  * Realized that the main problem was that the pitch of the BS had changed relative to the IM (presumably due to slight slippage of the wires) so the IM had to be pitched up by 16 mrad to get the BS pitched slightly down (4.7 mrad).
  * Took the sides off the IRM to get access to the clamps and tightened them to prevent further slips.
  * Rebalanced the IM to be level in pitch (and roll).
  * Reassembled the IRM and aligned the IRM-IM EQ stops - this time it was easy.
  * Adjusted the IRM and RM OSEMs to mid-range.
  * Got Kokeyama's new real-time model working and started TFs.
  
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):
 * With help from Kokeyama-san and Miyakawa-san, we debugged a problem with the real-time model freezing, which turned out to be the IO chassis shutting down because of brownout condition from an overloaded AC circuit. A combination of extra boxes added to the rack, plus surge current from the air shower could draw the full 20 A limit of the circuit. Awai-san ran a cable to a separate circuit and we moved the IO chassis onto that.
 * We got the stepper motor cabling and driver working, and tested the BF fishing rod stepper motor.
 * We got the LVDT cabling, driver and associated parts of the real-time model working.
 * We suspended the BF and payload to check the weight and balance after adding balance mass. The weight was spot-on and the balance was OK (about as expected and close enough to be corrected). However the height and balance of the IM was disturbed again.
 * Fabian worked on the redesign of the ballast masses.
 * Hirata-san found all the parts for the SF and the SF section of the security structure, and prepared the SF. However we then removed the Cu ring from the top cap for recleaning.
 * We worked with Sawada-san to get the wheels removed from the large stepladders so that could be put closer to the assembly frame for comfort and safety.
 * We cleaned up after a water leak from the ceiling.
 * We straightened the hexagonal poles in the bottom level of the security structure, in preparation for adding the new EQ stops for the RM.
Line 23: Line 19:
 * Mark and Enzo come to Kamioka and work on rack and cabling.
 * Fabian works on design, including SR assembly frame.
 * Hirata-san works on procurement.
Next week:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Readjust height and balance of BF+payload, add SF.
 * Get picomotor driver working.
Week after next:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Continue adding SF and suspend BF.

Past week report

At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):

  • With help from Kokeyama-san and Miyakawa-san, we debugged a problem with the real-time model freezing, which turned out to be the IO chassis shutting down because of brownout condition from an overloaded AC circuit. A combination of extra boxes added to the rack, plus surge current from the air shower could draw the full 20 A limit of the circuit. Awai-san ran a cable to a separate circuit and we moved the IO chassis onto that.
  • We got the stepper motor cabling and driver working, and tested the BF fishing rod stepper motor.

Plan for coming weeks

Next week:

  • Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
  • Readjust height and balance of BF+payload, add SF.
  • Get picomotor driver working.

Week after next:

  • Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
  • Continue adding SF and suspend BF.
