| * Type B Past Week Summary * Mark and Fabian worked at Kamioka with Fujii-san: * We attempted to measure the tilt sensitivity of the accelerometers by adding shims under the legs but gave up when we discovered that picking up and putting down the accelerometer perturbs the zero point even without shims. We will probably need a special tilt stage to do this properly. * We took some frequency and Q measurements. The results were amplitude dependent. Joris thinks that this is due to not operating the accelerometers close enough to zero DC output. * We set up for a test of the geophone noise. One geophone is reading half the output of the others - one side of a differential signal has probably failed. * Type B ongoing issues * Wires * Need to decide RM wire thickness and order BS and RM wires. Lead time is a few days from Nilaco. * OSEMs * Akutsu-san is working to get wide-mouth OSEMs * Longer cables for BF->PI and SF->PI. * Takahashi-san has ordered extra connectors (due any day) and will get a company to make the cables. * Feedthrough Adapters * Need large quantity of male and female D-Sub 9, IDC ribbon connectors - Takahashi-san is getting a quote. * Can we make SR wire breakers bigger? * Fukushima-san will start on machining test soon (as of 5/27). * Installation stuff * "Ceiling" work in BS clean booth (removal of second floor section) scheduled for Fri 7/1. * Assembly frame construction scheduled for 7/4 * Ballast masses for payload * Initial batch received - ordered extra smaller ones to allow for adjustments. * Lower breadboard stuff * Installation to be incorporated into the procedure document. Mark/Takahashi to discuss. * Breadboard springs (in manufacture, expected end of July) * Nail-head parts: quote from Mirapro received, not urgent, will be combined with assembly frame order. * Documents * BS Assembly Procedure [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4235| E1504235]], [[https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D5CCFA70A378E0D0!195&authkey=!AM_usynuo9QI57g&ithint=folder,webloc|E1504235 draft]] |

Type B (Mark)
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).
- Mark made lots of Guardian improvements:
- 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.
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.
