 * 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.
 * Hirata-san and Sekine-san moved the tank lid and service port ring to the pallet with the crane and covered the open tank with the spare clean bag.
 * Hirata-san and Mark got the LBB damper rings assembled and installed. A joint part for the Cu ring needed to have holes enlarged because the hole pattern did not quite match that on the half-ring. The magnet ring is hanging in the chamber and the Cu ring is attached below it with clamps, ready to receive the rods that will hang down from the PI.
 * Hirata-san recounted all the unused cables.
 * Hirata-san installed the outrigger parts on the LBB, which will receive the rods coming down from the damper ring.
 * Enzo and Mark tested all the stepper motors.
 * Enzo and Mark debugged the PI horizontal LVDTs. One LVDT had a flaky connection and one card in the LVDT driver had three dead channels. Enzo created a fully working driver using parts from another driver that also had a faulty card.
 * Fabian adjusted the ballast mass on the SF to get good pitch/roll/vertical adjustment and attached it with screws.
 * Fabian set up the optical lever again (the PR2 team had repossessed the breadboard we had been using but Akutsu-san supplied another one).
 * Enzo and Mark tested the pico motors. The software is very unreliable, but we we able to confirm that the IM pitch pico works.
 * The whole team wrapped items and shut down equipment ahead of the power outage.

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.
Week of 6/12:
 * Cabling:
  * Debug/fix PI vertical LVDTs #0 and #2.
  * Calibrate PI vertical LVDT.
  * Debug/fix geophone #1.
  * Set yoke on PI vertical LVDT (if necessary).
  * Cable and test PI yaw stepper.
  * Cable and test PI vertical stepper.
  * Cable and test PI horizontal steppers.
  * Cable and test PI horizontal LVDTs.
  * Calibrate PI horizontal LVDTs.
 * Prepare LBB.
  * Attach LBB outriggers and rod receptacles.
 * Prepare LBB Cu ring.
  * Remove from tank, fix incompletely threaded holes, reinstall in tank.
  * Lay down spacers to protect magnets (in next step).
 * Prepare LBB magnet ring.

  * Remove vacuum tank lid and ring.
  * Crane rings up to install height, hook LBB magnet ring and support LBB Cu ring by TBD method.
 * Crane suspension into tank.
 * Hook LBB Cu ring.
 * Hook LBB.
 * Crane vacuum tank lid+ring black on.
 * Remove vacuum tank lid (only).
 * Remove port covers where feedthroughs will go, move feedthroughs from assembly frame and install on vacuum tank ring.

Past week report

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

  • Hirata-san and Sekine-san moved the tank lid and service port ring to the pallet with the crane and covered the open tank with the spare clean bag.
  • Hirata-san and Mark got the LBB damper rings assembled and installed. A joint part for the Cu ring needed to have holes enlarged because the hole pattern did not quite match that on the half-ring. The magnet ring is hanging in the chamber and the Cu ring is attached below it with clamps, ready to receive the rods that will hang down from the PI.
  • Hirata-san recounted all the unused cables.
