==== Report for week of 7/30 ====
===== SR3 =====
 * We undid the accidental misalignment of the SR3. We also switched off the BF GAS offset we had been using, let the IM rise until near zero on the BF LVDT, and adjusted the IM vertical OSEMs back to mid-range.
 * We closed control loops for the SR3 GAS filters.
 * Terrence set up the LED and TILT QPD for the final OL, and did a new calibration.
===== SR2 =====
 * We installed the SR2 SF damper magnet ring but found that the magnet pattern didn't match the Cu segments due to a different in the caps between SR3 and SR2. We raised the ring but left it suspended, clamped the template to the underside and rearranged the magnets.
 * We did a vertical height budget of the SR2. It turns out to have a very similar issue to the SR3: the chain is about 5 mm longer than the CAD, with about 3 mm of that between the SF and BF. We decided to do the same fix and operate with the F0 keystone 5 mm higher. We chose an total amount of ballast to give that keystone height and secured most of it to the SF, keeping a reserve for cables and the yaw stepper.
 * We routed most (all?) of the SF/... cabling up to the PI.
==== Report for the week of 4/8 ====
 * Support of Type Bp
  * Mark made lots of Guardian improvements:
   * Used Guardian's timer functionality to drastically reduce the number of notifications during ramping.
   * Added new requestable states DCCTRL_ONLY and NEUTRAL (and associated transitional states) to facilitate testing.
   * Tidied up the code to use tabs consistently throughout for indentation.
   * Disabled the test for the IM-H coil driver WD (to work around the fact that only the relay in the chassis has been disabled, not the WD signals going to the BIO).
 * We opened the BS tank lid and offloaded a large IM-Y offset to F0-Y with manual adjustment of the broken yaw mechanism).
 * We opened the SR2 side doors and adjusted the V1 OSEM to mid-range.
 * Mark offloaded a large SR2 IM-Y offset to F0-Y.
 * Mark did health checks for BS, SR2 and SR3.
 * Fabian offloaded yaw from SRM and did the SRM health check.
 * Fabian updated the Python code for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect that two stepper drivers have different mappings to work around dead channels.
 * Fabian monitored pumpdown on Friday afternoon and will continue on Saturday.
Line 16: Line 20:
===== SRM =====
 * We moved the SRM assembly frame into its final position, reset it to the initial configuration, double-checked the heights of the crossbars, and lowered the optical table by 3 mm (to give margin for the optic to rise during hanging, which we had kept forgetting to do). We cleaned it up with the airgun and wet-wipes. We installed the IM ring and IM.
 * We assembled the SRM metal mass. Hirata-san made a jig from a plate with 4 screws which could safely hold the delicate front Sol-Black-coated ring upside down while the rest of the components were mounted on it.
 * We moved the metal mass to the mirror box and added the prisms and magnet standoffs. We applied the EP30 on Friday morning, but probably won't be able to check the result until after Obon.
==== Plan for week of 4/15 ====
 * Mark, Hirata-san at Kamioka Tue-Thu.
 * Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Wed.
 * All at f2f Meeting 4/19-21.
 * Post-pumpdown health checks.
 * Teach Hirata-san about the computer systems and control theory.
 * Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones.
 * More Guardian improvements.
  * Update vistools.py (formerly LIGO sustools.py) for Type B and KAGRA, and have the TYPEB.py Guardian use it where appropriate.
  * 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.
