==== Report for week of 7/2 ====
 * We double-checked the bounce frequency and it was indeed around 0.5 Hz with the CuBe auxiliary spring installed.
 * We prepared (but did not yet install) 6 arc weights for tuning the IP.
 * We unlocked the security structure from the assembly frame, and raised the whole system on the top jacks. We then unlocked the IP and adjusted the leveling so the IP was centered. We then had to loosen two of the poles at the top level of the security structure to make it vertical again, because it turns out that the jack receptacles (which also serve as the IP leg bases) are welded at very uneven depths in the bottom surface of the PI, so the IP and the bottom surface can't be level at once.
 * We debugged an issue with the height of the payload. It turns out that due to a buildup of errors (especially an extra 3 mm between the SF and BF), the payload is some 5-6 mm low with the F0 keystone at CAD height. Since the frequency is roughly independent of height around 0.5 Hz, we decided to go with a higher F0 keystone.
 * Enzo and Eleonora routed all the SF/... cables up to the PI.
 * We found we needed 4.7 kg of extra mass to get the desired keystone height, so we decided to put the third Cu segment (3.3 kg) back on, purely as ballast.
 * We put some extra small masses on the SF cap to level it. The suspension is now fully ballasted and trimmed except for 1 Promec mass (455 g) standing in for the new PI yaw stepper motor assembly (estimated 330 g) which is yet to arrive.
 * We took all the SR sat amps back to Mozumi to get new capacitors installed, and grabbed three spares for use while that is being done.
 * We investigated and documented Tanaka-san's watchdog for the BS, to see if the BIO Converter chassis that it uses could also drive reset lines for stepper motor driver boxes.
 * Hirata-san and Terrence characterized the last 4 F0 blades.
 * Hirata-san and Terrence installed blades in the top filter for SR2 and tuned it to 0.5 Hz (with the CuBe auxiliary spring) over three rounds of compression.
==== Report for week of 10/1 ====
===== SR2 =====
 * We solved a mystery with the height of the BF keystone: it turns out that running the table KOACH filters in the tank warms it up (by about 1.5°C) and causes significant sag (700 µm). D'oh!
 * We ran power to the pico drivers.
 * We got the lower section of the SR2 fairly well aligned with just a bit of adjustment with the IM pitch and roll picos.
 * We helped Lucia double-check the geometry of the IP - the current matrix calculation assumes the FRs and the LVDT sensors and actuators are colocated, which is much closer to true than for the BS, but not quite right.
 * We gave up on doing anything more with SR2 for now because we're waiting on extra extension cables for the PI and Fujii-kun will want to borrow one of the geophones next week for a huddle test with new geophones.
===== SRM =====
 * We set the pitch of the SRM and RM, tightened the clamps and removed the winch system.
 * We installed the BF crossbars of the assembly frame and the BF ring section of the security structure.
 * We lifted the IM/... section on the load gauge to find its weight.
 * We craned in the BF and removed the cap.
 * We installed the BF-IRM rods and the IRM top plate.
 * We installed the BF-IM maraging rod and flying saucer cable clamps.
 * We suspended the IM/... section and adjusted the trim masses for balance and total mass. It took quite a lot of adjustment in each of pitch, roll and vertical. The vertical was due to the fact that the weight of the IM/... section is very close to that of SR2/SR3 but the SRM BF is about 0.5 kg weaker. The roll was due to the fact that the default configuration of trim mass had no correction for the horizontal wedge on the optic. However the pitch is a bit of a mystery - nearly all of the removed mass had to come off the AR side. Fortunately we were able to correct for it entirely with masses we had in hand.
 * We routed the TM OSEM cables via the flying saucer up to the underside of the BF.
 * We got 2 power supplies from Shimode-san so we can fire up the SRM rack next week. He will also supply suitable cables to connect the power supplies to the DC power strip in the rack.
 * We received the replated yoke for the SRM top filter.
