==== Report for week of 7/9 ====
 * We cleaned up after the heavy rain. There was no significant damage but some cardboard boxes of parts got wet and the contents needed to be moved to other containers and the boxes discarded. Water collected on the SR2 crane slot cover and had to be vacuumed away before the cover could be opened. A new section of corrugated roof was installed to minimize the problem for the future.
 * Enzo and team got all of the in-vacuum and in-air cables for the SF/... and PI properly routed and tested except (so far) for the geophones.
 * Hirata-san and team finished tuning of the F0 for SR2 and moved the PI into the SR2 cleanbooth. It turns out to be about 8 kg weaker than for SR3, whereas the SR2 chain is only 3 kg lighter, so we will have to do some combination of decompression, removing Cu segments and using a stronger CuBe spring (e.g., a Type A F0 FR blade instead of the F2 one in SR3). We closed the floor in the SRM area for safety, but we will probably reopen it as soon as next week for the SRM F0 build.
 * Hirata-san opened the SR3 tank, craned the LBB damper ring sandwich up to the top of the tank and suspended it.
 * Enzo and team corrected a lot of flipped connections on the SR3 PI LVDTs (primary<->secondary on the horizontal, primary<->actuation on the F0).
 * We added the arc weights and geophones and re-centered the IP. It seems stable and very soft, which is good.

==== Plan for week of 7/9 ====
==== Plan for week of 7/16 ====
 * Monday 7/16 is Sea Day.
 * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Kozu-kun, Terrence at Kamioka Tue-Fri.
===== Main Sequence =====
 * Check/restore alignment of payload, especially optic pitch.
 * Testing, TFs.
 * 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 12/17 ====
 * BS
  * Miyakawa-san worked on the BS real-time model and the gain/offset settings for the F0 LVDTINF block were lost, so we reentered them and did a new safe.snap file.
 * SRM
  * We unlocked the IP adjusted the level with the jacks to center it. As hoped, this also improved the alignment of the chain insecurity structure and fixed a touching issue.
  * Hirata-san installed and cabled the new F0 yaw stepper. We had allowed plenty of reserve mass, so there was no problem getting back to nominal height of the keystone. [''As of Thursday afternoon, it had not yet been tested - UPDATE?'']
  * We found that the Nikhef method Fabian had used to tune the F0 LVDT driver gave an artificially narrow working range, so he retuned it with Enzo's method and recalibrated the LVDT.
  * Fabian did a vertical position survey with all the GAS filters at nominal and found the height of the RM above the SS bottom plate was about 2.5 mm lower than in the CAD. This is about what we expected from a chain 7 mm longer than CAD and and F0 keystone set to 5 mm higher than CAD. In future we can survey to either the optic or the security structure as convenient, and we are in the range where we should easily be able to match the correct beam height with the jacks under the PI.
  * We got two OL viewports for SRM from Akutsu-san, and will install them sometime in January, whenever we have a free moment. Akutsu-san pre-torqued the inner ring of screws around the glass, so we only need to torque the outer bolts.
 * SR3
  * We also got a camera viewport for SR3 from Akutsu-san and will install it sometime in January.
  * Hirata-san installed and cabled the new F0 yaw stepper.
 * SR2
  * Enzo calibrated the SR2 OL. He noted that with the standard f=2500 mm collimator, the angular range was only about 100 µrad in pitch and 150 µrad in yaw, which is rather less than Enomoto-kun's preferred range of more like 400 µrad, so we borrowed f=1100 mm and f=3500 mm collimators to characterize. Enzo did f=1100 mm and will do f=3500 mm soon.
  * Hirata-san installed and cabled the new F0 yaw stepper. We did not have enough reserve mass for SR2, so to save 300 g we had Mesco make a new, lighter top plate, and Hirata-san ultrasonically cleaned it. We were then able to get the desired F0 keystone height with about 200 g to spare.
 * Etc
  * Enzo did a historical survey of the temperature as the various suspensions were being built and concluded that ideal operating temperature would be 25°C in the BS/SR2 area and 24°C for SR3/SRM.
  * Mark wrote a bash script to log all the GAS filter heights and LVDT actuation offsets, and an Excel spreadsheet to analyze the data to get an overview of the heights of the suspensions and the amount of height adjustment being used. He also reviewed old TF data to get near-DC values for the effect of GAS actuation on GAS height. This uncovered a few issues with calibration settings (such as for BS F0) having been lost because they hadn't been recorded in a safe.snap file, which we fixed.

==== Vacation Info ====
 * Terrence: 8/24-26 f2f, then returns to Hong Kong.
 * Enzo: 9/14 JPS, 9/15 through 10/8 vacation in Chile.
==== Plan for week of 12/17 ====
 * Final alignment of SRM payload, plus BF and SF GAS.
 * (Time permitting) unlocking/centering/tuning of IP.
 * Installation of Enomoto-kun's beam target on SRM (if available).
 * Installation/testing of F0 steppers on SR2, SR3, SRM, and (hopefully) final vertical height adjustment.
 * Installation of viewports on SRM.

==== Plan for weeks of 12/24, 12/31 ====
 * Most of team on holidays - no Kamioka work.

==== Plan for week of 1/7 ====
 * Make sure BS is floating, recenter OL to capture current yaw position.
 * Vent BS.
 * Inspect BS F0 blades for cracks.
 * Install new BS F0 FR, and (if necessary) auxiliary CuBe spring.
 * Confirm geometry of LVDTs, geophones, FRs etc and update T1707205 if necessary.
 * Replace geophone preamps and cables (to fix noise, offset, pinout flip issues).
 * Add more mass to IP to get lower frequency.
 * Adjust all GAS filters to near mid-range (using keystone mass for F0 as much as possible, and FR+LVDT for SF and BF).

==== Vacation/Etc Info ====
 * Mark: 12/24 - 1/4.
 * Hirata-san: 12/24 - 1/4.
 * Fabian: 12/31 - 1/4
 * Enzo: 12/31 - 1/4.
 * Mark and Enzo: KAGRA International Workshop in Perugia, 2/14-16.
 * Terrence: back at Kamioka from 1/7.
