At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san): At Kamioka (Mark, Ohishi-san, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun):
 * We moved or covered stuff in the BS cleanbooth to prepare for the SR2 crane slot cutting and BS-> SR2 assembly frame move.
 * We put the service port covers back on at the BF level of the BS tank.
 * We used the PI jacks to center the bottom of the security structure around the RM.
 * We debugged a mechanical issue where the #2 IP LVDT had too narrow a gap between the moving and fixed parts, so that there was interference with only a very small clockwise yaw of the IP. We fixed it by moving the bottom baseplate (taking advantage of the fact that it was held by screws in oversize holes for this purpose).
 * We used the IP FRs to center the IP.
 * We set the gains on the IP LVDT driver.
 * We tested the picos and most of the steppers. The picos and IP steppers all work nicely. The PI FR and yaw steppers have jamming issues. We haven't tested the BF and SF FR steppers.
 * We debugged an issue with one of the geophones (#1) which has a DC offset. We did cable swaps and determined that the issue is internal to the geophone pod. A second geophone (#2) saturates at a suspiciously small voltage on the negative side. Again the issue is internal.
At Mitaka (Fabian, Hirata-san):
 * Fabian designed an improvement to the PI yaw stepper driver mount to stop the stepper jamming.
 * Fabian worked on a plan to measure the load capacity of the SR PIs.
 * Hirata-san did 2D drawings of the PI for the SR, and of SF2 and SRM in their vacuum chambers.
 * Hirata-san did drawings if the SR LBB damper rings and asked for quotes.
 * Hirata-san asked for quotes for SR secondary wire breakers and SR IM/IRM lock screws
 * Hirata-san ordered SR IM wire clamps.
 * Hirata-san worked on parts lists for SR cable clamps.
Line 9: Line 25:
 * We cleared space for the PR2 team to remove a bellows from their tank.
 * We installed safety bars on the pillars near the assembly frame at about waist height for someone on the tall ladder. We reinforced the clamps with cable ties.
 * We bridged a gap in the second floor on the -X side of the SF2 tank with spare floor panels.
 * We removed the PI from the assembly frame.
 * We encountered a problem with the PI-SF rod jamming in the SF. We finally got it out by clamping a pair of vice grips to the rod and hammering. We found that the receptacle part was the right size (7.0 mm) but had been deformed around the edge. Hirata-san used a knife and sandpaper to lean up the edge and then ultrasonically cleaned it.
 * We removed the LLB blade units from the PI, removed the blades from the clamps and sent the blades away for more rework to fix the length problem. Fortunately the tab section at the tip is fairly long, so we can just add a second hole further from the end.
 * We tested the SR fishing rod again, but it would only go up, not down. We found that reseting the driver fixed it, but we also moved the driver boxes into the cleanbooth to reduce the length of the motor cables. (To support the drivers, we had to run some long DC and LAN cables.)
 * We adjusted the limit nut on the SF fishing rod to increase the range.
 * We debugged an issue with the SF keystone sitting lower than previously and found we had accidentally left two eyebolts on top of the BF. We retrimmed the BF/... section to reset the keystone to nominal (65.5 mm) with the fishing rod at mid-range.
 * We removed one segment of the Cu ring on the SF cap and reconfigured the other two to be symmetrical.
 * Fabian designed a layout for the SF damper ring magnets that would work with the modified Cu ring, and placed the magnets with the template. The poles of the magnets were not on the expected faces so we had to stand the magnets up, with the 12x12 faces sideways and the 10x12 mm pole faces up/down. We will need to raise the magnet ring by 2 mm to allow for the extra height.
 * Hirata-san made an adapter cable for the PI vertical LVDT to let it connect to a standard Type 1 cable.
 * Enzo made a PI yaw/vertical stepper adapter cable and a trial geophone descrambler cable (one of three).
 * We placed the geophones on the PI but discovered we didn't have some mounting brackets called out in the 3D CAD.
 * Fabian added the remaining cable clamps to the PI.
 * We found that part of the problem with the SF LVDT was that the actuation had not been enabled for SF or F0 in the real-time model. We fixed the model and are now able to drive the LVDT actuator and see input at the LVDT sensor. However there is apparently a lot of coupling directly from output to input (presumably from transformer action between the sensing and actuation coils), so we're investigating.
