==== Past week report ====
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):
 * We improvised a solution for ballast mass on the BF, using some heavy dog clamps meant for pedestals, washed and wrapped in foil. We we use them for the duration of the BS Test Hang and then swap them out for custom masses.
 * We put back the original BF jacks (replacing the cantilevered jacks that had been borrowed from the SF level to allow access to the BF blade screws).
 * We rearranged the BS rack, closing the gaps between boxes (per request of Miyakawa-san. We also renumbered some boxes, connectors and cables so as to use zero-based numbering (#0, #1, #2,...) throughout.
 * We routed the OSEM cables into the external cable rack (rather than through the PR2 area).
 * We connected up the BF LVDT, and BF fishing rod stepper motor.
 * We installed a signal generator for the LVDT.
 * We connected the super motor driver box to the Internet and attempted to set it up, but with no success so far.
 * We found the final picomotor driver (we have been using the one from TAMA in the clean booth).
 * We found many items that we will need soon, including the copper ring for the SF.
 * We found issues with the digital system (the computer driving the rack had been changed from k1pr2 to k1bs, which causes problems) and worked with DGS to fix them. It now mostly works but the real-time model crashes from time to time.
 
==== Plan for coming weeks ====
Next week:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Thursday.
 * Work on electronics, possibly suspend and weigh BF.
Week after next:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Add SF and suspend BF.
==== Report for week of 3/5 ====
 * Mark finished -v2 of the schedule ([[https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=7779| L1807779]]).
 * We removed the non-vacuum-compatible ballast mass from the BS tank.
 * We secured all the PR2 feedthrough connections with screws.
 * We grabbed an extra empty rack for SRM and set it up next to the one for SR3 (we will add boxes next week).
 * We calibrated the SR2 SF LVDT sensing and actuation, and the FR.
 * We measured the bounce frequencies of the SF with and without the cap, and the bounce frequency of the BF.
 * We put the SF cap on and lifted and weighed the SF/... section.
 * However we were unhappy with how the cap had to be forced on and off and how it lowered the load capacity (≈-433 g) and resonance frequency (0.271 Hz-> 0.23 Hz).
 * We tried the cap left over from B2-3 used in one of the PRs, which was slightly better but still not great.
 * We measured diameter of the original cap (B2-2) and the new one (B2-3). The original cap was almost exactly 700 mm in internal diameter, and the new one was about 0.2 mm wider.
 * We moved the filter building bench and tools into the SRM area and started the rebuild of the two remaining BFs (the one from the BS Test Hang and the one with the tilted keystone).
 * Mark worked on slides for the ASJ and LVC meetings.
 * The SRM mushroom work was postponed due to other demands on the time of Sawada-san-tachi and Mirapro.

==== Plan for week of 3/12 ====
 * Shoda-san at Mitaka.
 * Mark at ASJ (Chiba) Fri, then Mitaka.
 * Others Kamioka Mon-Thu
 * F2F VIS Meeting and Farewell Party for Fabian at Mitaka on Friday.
 * --
 * Install boxes in SR3 and SRM racks.
 * Lay SR3 in-air cabling.
 * Continue rebuild of BFs.
 * Ship dummy BS to Mitaka.

==== Plan for week of 3/19 ====
 * Fujii-kun and Tanioka-kun join.
 * Mark at LVC meeting
 * Fujii-kun at Kamioka
 * All others at Mitaka
 * --
 * Put four geophones in pods.
 * Make two sets of IM OSEMs
 * Make last in-air pico adapter cable
 * Make three in-air stepper splitter cables for SR2, SR3 and SRM.
 * Set up Dummy BS prism removal.


==== Plan for week of 3/26 ====
 * Mark vacation.
 * Shoda-san at Mitaka
 * Others at Kamioka
 * --
 * SF Check
  * Check load capacity.
  * Check fit of caps.
  * Add cable clamps to bases.
  * Add cable clamps and Cu segments to caps (only if they fit well).
  * Cable LVDTs and steppers.
