 * Type B Past Week Summary
  * Flags and metal prisms ordered; expected 5/31.
  * New assembly drawing [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=5179| D1605179]] focussing on items not part of main chain (and associated screws):
   * Crane adapter
   * Lower breadboard blade module (with cable clamps)
   * IM-RM safety bar ([[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=5127| D1605127]] from last week now obsolete)
  * 3D assembly changed to have geophones instead of accelerometers (but SRx will probably be per original design - need to revisit circuit diagram)
  * Concept for load gauge adapter decided (reuse crane adapter plate and jacks from below PI; add Misumi crossbars, cleanroom-compatible chain hoist: [[attachment: Crane Frame.pdf]])
  * Concept for second floor of clean booth decided (remove all floor panels; add bridge panels at right angles: [[attachment:BS Cleanbooth.pdf]])
  * Modified drawings for main assembly frame and drawings for most small parts (jack adapters etc) received from Mirapro.
  * Wire sizes decided: 300 µm piano wire and 500 µm tungsten (will revisit this later).
  * Lots of work on [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4817| E1604817]] (Fabian; [[https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D5CCFA70A378E0D0!191&authkey=!AMe0pdcd9GDm1H0&ithint=folder%2cwebloc|Draft on OneDrive]]) and [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4235| E1504235]] (Mark; [[https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D5CCFA70A378E0D0!195&authkey=!AM_usynuo9QI57g&ithint=folder%2cwebloc|Draft on OneDrive]])		 === Type B (Mark) ===
==== Report for the week of 4/15 ====
 * Fabian debugged a dead stepper on SR3 (broken driver channel) and a dead geophone on SRM (unplugged cable). He made another update to the table used by the Python script for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect the remapping.
 * Fabian monitored the pumpdown and he and Hirata-san did post-pumpdown checks of all the suspensions. They were all healthy.
 * Hirata-san participated in the health checks and learned about the computer systems.
 * Mark did major revisions to the MEDM menu on the OVERVIEW screen with scripts for making `safe.snap` files and snapshots of setpoints. He made the `safe.snap` files in directories under `/opt/rtcds/kamioka/k1/target` into symbolic links to files in `/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/vis/k1/burtfiles`, alongside the setpoint files, so that they could be backed up to the SVN (as at LIGO).
 * Mark did major updates to his `vistools.py` Python package for manipulating the suspensions (based on his LIGO `sustools.py`). He added entries for Type B suspensions to the internal database and added commands for manipulating SET and DCCTRL blocks. He also added commands to simulate pressing on the `CLEAR HISTORY` and `LOAD COEFFICIENTS` buttons.
 * Mark started updating the `TYPEB.py` Guardian definition file to use `vistools.py`. So far only the `ENGAGING_IP_CONTROL` state has been fully rewritten and tested, but other states will be simple adaptations. It should be easy to do Type A and other Guardians in the same style.

 * Type B Past Week Summary
  * Fabian did inventory of parts/fasteners for dummy BS, RM, IM and IRM - almost all at Mitaka. A handful (picos, pico drivers) will be brought back from Kamioka.
  * Fabian continued work on Mathematica and Matlab models of the BS and control system. He now gets much better agreement after correcting discrepancies between the parameter sets.
  * Hirata-san worked on organizing:
   * Work platforms
   * Load gauge adapter and associated parts
   * Possible fall-back plans for the rods connecting the security structure to the PI.		 ==== Plan for week of 4/22 ====
 * Mark, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
 * Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.
 * Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones.
 * More Guardian improvements.
  * Improve `vistools.py` (add more useful functions; add docstrings; add support for Type A/Bp/C; create test suite).
  * Finish and test new Guardian code using `vistools.py`.
  * Modify RT models and/or Guardian to revert to the SAFE state under control in all but the most extreme emergency situations (rather than suddenly shutting off all output).

Type B (Mark)

Report for the week of 4/15

  • Fabian debugged a dead stepper on SR3 (broken driver channel) and a dead geophone on SRM (unplugged cable). He made another update to the table used by the Python script for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect the remapping.
  • Fabian monitored the pumpdown and he and Hirata-san did post-pumpdown checks of all the suspensions. They were all healthy.
  • Hirata-san participated in the health checks and learned about the computer systems.

  • Mark did major revisions to the MEDM menu on the OVERVIEW screen with scripts for making safe.snap files and snapshots of setpoints. He made the safe.snap files in directories under /opt/rtcds/kamioka/k1/target into symbolic links to files in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/vis/k1/burtfiles, alongside the setpoint files, so that they could be backed up to the SVN (as at LIGO).

  • Mark did major updates to his vistools.py Python package for manipulating the suspensions (based on his LIGO sustools.py). He added entries for Type B suspensions to the internal database and added commands for manipulating SET and DCCTRL blocks. He also added commands to simulate pressing on the CLEAR HISTORY and LOAD COEFFICIENTS buttons.

  • Mark started updating the TYPEB.py Guardian definition file to use vistools.py. So far only the ENGAGING_IP_CONTROL state has been fully rewritten and tested, but other states will be simple adaptations. It should be easy to do Type A and other Guardians in the same style.

Plan for week of 4/22

  • Mark, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
  • Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.
  • Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones.
  • More Guardian improvements.

    • Improve vistools.py (add more useful functions; add docstrings; add support for Type A/Bp/C; create test suite).

    • Finish and test new Guardian code using vistools.py.

    • Modify RT models and/or Guardian to revert to the SAFE state under control in all but the most extreme emergency situations (rather than suddenly shutting off all output).
  • Work on Type B paper.
  • Tidy up.
    • Gather and clean tools.
    • Gather and organize unused parts and fasteners.

Vacation/Travel Info

  • Terrence's next visit from 4/18.
  • Fabian's vacation 4/26 to 5/10.
  • Mark's US vacation from 5/22 to 6/11.
  • Mark's final day 6/28.
