| ==== Report for week of 6/18 ==== * We powered down the Type B racks as a precaution against possible loss of power during work on Tuesday, and later powered them up again. * We put a flange cover over the hole in the floor near the filter tuning area as a temporary safety measure. We later managed to entirely close the part of the hole that was not covered by the filter, by moving the filter towards the outside and using short floor panels from SR2 on the tank side. * We removed the SR3 PI from the filter tuning area and brought in the SR2 one. * We put magnets on the SR damper magnet ring to match the two Cu segments we were using. * We craned the SR3 PI into the AF, connected it to the security structure, and hooked the SF/... section and the SF damper magnet ring. * At first the F0 did not rise, and we realized that we had 2 kg less margin than we originally thought because we had not allowed for the PI-SF rod receptacle, the top disk which holds the yaw stepper mechanism, or the stepper itself. * However we were able to try the redesigned PI fishing rod, parts for which had just arrived. The optional strong CuBe spring in the new arrangement gave plenty of extra lift, so that we now have about 5 kg of margin. We did have to move the yoke to work around the problem that the CuBe spring tends to tilt the keystone, but we got it moving freely. We will also have to compress the blades some more to compensate for the extra stiffness, which caused the frequency to rise from 0.5 Hz to 0.9 Hz. |

Type B (Mark)
Report for the week of 2/25
- Fabian monitored suspensions during the vent.
- Terrence and Mark made lots of changes to the Guardians and RTMs:
- Added UI to take snapshots with ALIGNED/MISALIGNED channels (for late use by Guardian).
Changed "IM1" and "IM2" in channel names to "IMV" and "IMH"; also "DIO" and "BO" -> "BIO".
- Created library blocks for BIO and made all the Type B models use them.
- Tweaked the control topology to be more LIGO-style: the error signal for DC control is sensor-setpoint (not setpoint-sensor as in many controls textbooks); the input to the damping block is the uninverted sensor signal(s); there is a hard-wired -1 after the damping block representing default negative gain.
- Fabian went inside the SRM chamber and diagnosed the problem that had appeared shortly before vent. It turned out to be yaw of the IP causing a payload cable to touch. He fixed it with the F0 yaw stepper. (He had tried this earlier without success but it turned out the problem was another dead output on the stepper driver.)
- Terrence traced the geophone issue to a group of dead channels (#20-23) on the AA chassis. We tried replacing the chassis and it fixed not only the geophone issue but an issue in the TILT OL path (#24-27) that we had planned to debug next.
- We retested the BIO for stepper remote enable system and this time it was working (probably due to the refactoring of the BIO stuff in the model and/or all the restarts).
- We rebuilt all the IOP models after removing an unneeded ADC1 block (corresponding to hardware that Yoshizawa-san had removed).
- Enzo and Terrence wrote Python scripts to automate the process of adapting the control filters to the new topology (where the DAMP and DCCTRL functions are in parallel instead of series).
Plan for week of 3/4
- Enzo at Mitaka.
- Mark, Fabian Mon-Wed (Thu is farewell party).
- Final tweaks of SRM?
- Monitor (re-)pumpdown.
- Tests of new Guardian.
- Final test of stepper remote enable system (someone in cleanroom checks the lights go on/off).
- Continue monitoring SRM yaw drift.
- Setup SRM and SR3 LEN OLs.
- Work on Type B paper.
==== Plan for week of 3/11 =====
- Mark at Kamioka full week?
- Enzo at Kamioka Mon, Tue, then JPS.
Vacation/Travel Info
- Enzo vacation, 3/5 and 3/6.
- Enzo et al. Farewell Party, 3/7.
- Enzo at JPS then final vacation, 3/13-29
- Terrence's last day, 3/29.
