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 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.

==== 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.		 At Kamioka (Mark, Ohishi-san, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san, Kozu-kun):
 * We couldn't count for a bubble level, so we removed a service port cover, searched again on top of the BF and found it.
 * We locked the LBB, put the table KOACH filters on the table. Ohishi-san removed the FC in two stages (AR side on Tue, HR side on Fri).
 * Ohishi-san measured the height of the SS and optic relative to the tank and found the optic was 3 mm low but the SS was 2 mm high. According to the GAS LVDTs, the suspension had not sagged but was 1.7 mm high.
 * Therefore we raised the suspension by 9 quarter-turns of the tank jacks (4.5 mm) to get the optic in the right position after (future) downward adjustment of the GAS filters.
 * We put the GAS LVDT calibration data as offsets and gains in the LVDTINF filters so the output would be height in µm relative to nominal.
 * We calibrated the IP LVDTs. We had worked around a mechanical interference due to the poor design of the old LVDTs by setting them to be 4 mm off-center with the IP locked centrally, but we discovered this was overkill and we have lost some linear range on the LVDT sensor in the opposite direction. If we have time we may move the LVDT bases 1-2 mm to a compromise position.
 * We worked with Simon to get the OL aligned and to learn the adjustment procedure.
 
At Mitaka (Hirata-san):
 * Hirata-san met with manufacturers and requested quotes.
 * Hirata-san made many assembly drawings for sections of the SR.
 * Hirata-san worked on compiling the SR inventory.

  • We locked the LBB, put the table KOACH filters on the table. Ohishi-san removed the FC in two stages (AR side on Tue, HR side on Fri).
