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, Ohishi-san, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san, Kozu-kun):
 * We couldn't account for a bubble level, so we removed a service port cover, searched again on top of the BF and found it.
 * We put the table KOACH filters on the table. Ohishi-san then 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) so that the optic would be 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.
 * Mark updated Sekiguchi-san's SUMCON to allow for comments to be entered next to all values (75% finished).
 * Kozu-kun worked on deriving the diagonalization matrices for the IP FRs.
 
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.

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.		 ==== Plan for week of 10/16 ====
Kamioka: all but Mark
 * Remove sticker residue and permanent marker writing on PI.
 * Fix broken and unreliable connections on IP LVDTs.
 * Wipe any rust from around IP LVDTs.
 * (If Enzo thinks it necessary and there's time) adjust IP LVDT mechanical offsets to maximize usable range and recalibrate.
 * Add IP LVDT gains and offsets to IP_LVDTINF filter blocks.
 * Calibrate IP LVDT actuation against IP LVDT sensing.
 * Install damping filters for IP LVDTs.
 * Adjust gains and debug damping for IM OSEMs and GAS LVDTs.
 * Modify IP LVDT damping filters to include set point.
 * Install and debug IP LVDT and geophone diagonalization matrices.
 * (Time permitting) Try adding mass to IP.
 * Work with alignment team.
 * Work with Mirapro on SR LBB and tank installation (Hirata-san, from Wed)
 * Work with Miyo-kun to get user interface for stepper motors.
 * Calibrate IP FR actuation against IP LVDT sensing.
 * SR procurement.
