==== 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.


==== Plan for week of 7/9 ====
 * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Kozu-kun, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
 * --
===== Main Sequence =====
 * Check/restore alignment of payload, especially optic pitch.
 * Install and cable geophones.
 * Install arc weights.
 * Tune IP.
 * Install, cable PI yaw stepper.
 * Make three in-air stepper splitter cables for SR2, SR3 and SRM.
 * Calibrate PI LVDTs and FRs.
 * Cabling, testing, TFs.

===== F0/LBB Stuff ====
 * Finalize PI #1 for SR2; crane into SR2 cleanbooth.
 * Remove SR3 tank lid, crane LBB rings to top of lower half of the tank, clamp in position.
 * Set tank jacks to nominal height.
 * Clear space for PI #2 (SRM) work.

=== Plan for week of 7/16 ===
===== Main Sequence =====
 * Lock suspension.
 * Crane into tank.
 * Unlock suspension.
 * Rearrange cables.
 * Test.
===== F0/LBB Stuff =====
 * Install correct IP in PI #2.
 * Crane PI #2 to second floor.
 * Rebuild top filter of PI #2.
==== Report for week of 10/15 ====
===== SRM =====
 * We received the fourth feedthrough we had been waiting for and installed it on the AF.
 * Fabian added the cables between the FE computer and the ADC/DAC boxes, and we checked that we were getting IO in the real-time model.
 * Fabian and Enzo connected up the Sat Amps.
 * Fabian double-checked the optic pitch, got the IRM nicely aligned to the IM, cabled IM OSEMs V1, V2, V3 and H1, and adjusted those OSEMs in/out to midrange.
 * Hirata-san set the compression on the F0 to 30 mm and measured the height and frequency as a function of load. He then fixed a loose screw on one of the blade tips and repeated the measurement. The frequency was fairly constant at around 0.5, which will do. He did a mass budget and chose a F1 CuBe spring. We may do a tiny bit more compression if the frequency degrades, and/or choose an even stronger spring if the load capacity is not enough.
 * Hirata-san took apart and reassembled one of the LBB blade units, which had a badly seated blade.
 * Hirata-san put cable clamps on the SF and on the PI. We are very short on the PEEK clamp pieces, so he scavenged some from SR2.
 * We added a new LAN hub for SRM, and configured two stepper drivers as SRM_IP and SRM_GAS.
 * Late in the week we received extra Type 3-4 cables (thanks to Sato-san for expediting) and were able to cable IM OSEMs H2 and H3, and the BF LVDT.
 * Enzo made a new batch of feedthrough adapters.
===== SR2 =====
 * We finalized the geophone cabling and reinstalled the geophones.
 * We received the new arc weights, and used some of them to install a basic allotment of 6 38-mm weights on SR3 per the CAD. We then added two extra 19-mm arc weights for tuning and got a good IP frequency of 0.133 Hz.
 * Apart from the F0 yaw stepper issue and the OL, the SR2 is now more-or-less complete and adjusted mechanically, and just needs software work (control loops etc). We will however have to borrow one of the geophones at some point to do a huddle test with the final batch of new geophones (including those for SRM). Terrence can set up the OL in the week of 10/29.
==== Plan for week of 10/22 ====
 * Friday is NAOJ Open Day Prep - no Kamioka work.
 * Mark and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.
 * Enzo and Hirata-san at Kamioka Tue-Thu.
===== SR2 =====
 * Do a measurement of how much torque is required on the F0 keystone to move the system in yaw. (This will help Sato-san choose a suitable stepper driver for the new design.)
 * Continue shakedown.
 * Gather parts for the OL (with help from Simon).
===== SRM =====
 * Scavenge HPCDs from SR2 and SR3 (currently we only have one for SRM) and organize to get LPCDs modified.
 * Suspend/weigh/balance the BF/... section.
 * Build up the AF and SS to the SF level.
 * Install the SF.
==== Plan for week of 10/29 ====
