Report for week of 10/29

SRM
- Enzo realized that he could cover the next round of needed cables with more cable soldering and did another batch. Because Yamamoto-san's lab was running low on isopropanol, Hirata-san washed them with ethanol at Mozumi.
- Enzo worked out the optimum output resistance for the LPCDs to substitute for HPCDs with the horizontal IM OSEMs. The value was quite close to that already chosen for modified LPCDs by the cryogenic group, so we're going to standardize. The modified LPCDs will have to be operated with the internal watchdog disabled for now because it was hard-wired to 2 mA.
- Fabian finished adding the TM OSEM cables out to the rack and tested them.
- We ran DC power and network to the second SRM stepper driver. We still need to get one more DC power cable to replace one we borrowed from SR3. We added the remaining steppers to the Python driver and MEDM screen.
- We reconfigured the top of the assembly frame in preparation for the PI (removing crossbars and moving jacks down).
- Hirata-san put the magnets on the SF damper and we hooked it to the PI, craned the PI into the assembly frame and joined it to the security structure.
- We installed the F0-SF rod and flying saucer and suspended the SF/... section. We had plenty of spare load capacity, so we changed the CuBe spring to a weaker one and put 2.3 kg of ballast on the SF cap. This leaves 1.2 kg reserve for cables and an F0 yaw stepper mechanism.
- We reduced the trim mass on the BF to compensate for the mass of the TM OSEM cables.
- We measured all the bounce frequencies.
- Hirata-san put magnets on the LBB damper magnet ring, put the pieces into the tank and assembled them into a sandwich ready for craning.
SR2
- Hirata-san unclamped the LBB damper rings and suspended the LBB. It still needs ballast mass and is currently sitting high, with the blades at their upper stops.

-==== Report for week of 9/10 ====
 * We finish the invacuum and in air cabling for SR2, but the in-vacuum cables for Geophones and F0 Yaw stepper motor are just temporary and will be replaced later once the suspension is inside the tank.
 * We checked all the motors, like:
       ** the IM picos, BF picos.
 * We checked the BF Stepper (Fishing rod), SF Stepper (SF Fishing rod), F0 Stepper (F0 Fishing rod).
 * We debugged an issue with the IP LVDTs and discovered it was a broken interface card D1402829 in the LVDT driver. We made up a working chassis with the original two driver cards, so we didn't have to reset all the phases and gains.
 * We reset the IP FRs to midrange.
 * We added a basic set of arc weights and recentered the IP. We then adjusted the verticality of the security structure.
 * We relocked the IP temporarily, unlocked the SF/... section and aligned the IM OSEMs.
 * We powered down the BS, SR3 and SR2 electronics in preparation for the power outage.
