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.
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):
 * We set things up again after the floor coating work.
 * We moved the PI into the second floor of the cleanbooth:
  * We cleared a path for the forklift (moving the portable cleanroom, worktable, power cables, vacuum pumps and other obstacles).
  * We got Saito-sensei to move the PI to the +Y side of the cleanbooth.
  * We washed and cling-wrapped a pallet.
  * We got Miyoki-san to disconnect the cables and curtain blocking the crane slot (and reconnect them afterwards).
  * We added some temporary crossbars in the top of the assembly frame and stored the SF cap on them to get it out of the way.
  * We craned in the pallet and set it up to bridge three floor joists.
  * We craned in the PI using Saito-san's adapter.
   * We couldn't find the original screws for the three PI transport plates so we substituted some others - fortunately there was no galling.
   * We had to connect the adapter to the crane with a sling because the ring for the hook was slightly too small).
 * We did a lot of cabling work:
  * We routed all the BF cables over the BF cap, up through the cable clamp on the SF-BF rod and up to the SF. (We had to redo a few because the Type 3 cable was at the flange end instead of the Type 1.)
  * We connected up the SF LVDT and FR stepper.
  * We started on rebalancing the BF (which had been perturbed by the weight and tension of all the cables). We got it rather better, but it needs more work.
  * We made another batch of anti-feedthrough adapters.
Line 19: Line 26:
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.
For more detail, see [[KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDo]].

Week of 4/10:
 * Hirata-san does scissor lift training 4/10.
 * Perry in Tokyo 4/10.
 * Debug/fix dead OSEM channel, TM-H4.
 * Debug BF/SF LVDTs.
 * Adjust BF pitch/roll.
 * Do TF from SF LVDT actuation.
 * Install temporary ballast mass in SF.
 * Lift SF/BF/... section and check total weight and SF balance.
 * Continue swap of PI LVDT connectors (female->male)
 * Start preparing LBB spring units.
 * Install pico drivers in rack, create MEDM interface (with Miyo-kun), and undo temporary connection of picos to old controller and joystick.
Week of 4/17:
 * Crane in PI.
 * Connect SF/BF... section.
 * Temporarily remove PI and adjust SF ballast if necessary.
