==== Report for week of 9/17 ====
 * Monday 9/17 was holiday.
 * We optimized the trim mass on the SF to get more balance torque with less total mass. We now have a reserve of 480 g for the yaw pico.
 * We set the SF damper gap to 6 mm.
 * We set the SR2 pitch with the optic lever, aligned the IRM and set all the OSEMs to have good clearance and midrange output.
 * We locked the SR2 suspension (except for the SF) and craned it into the tank.
 * We moved the vacuum feedthroughs over to the tank.
 * With help from Ohishi-san, we removed the First Contact from SR2.
 * Mark did an audit of all the electronics boxes and updated the item list and S-number file cards on JGWDoc.
 * Mark did an inventory of some thin arc weights and finalized the number to order (8*38 mm + 9*10 mm).
 * Panwei copied control filters over from the SR3.
 
==== Plan for week of 9/24 ====
 * Monday 9/17 is holiday (Respect for the Aged Day).
 * Enzo on vacation.
 * Mark, Hirata-san, Fabian, Panwei at Kamioka Tue-Fri.
===== SR2 =====
 * Remove First Contact.
 * Move SR2 in-air cables.
 * Unlock and realign suspension.
===== SRM =====
 * Set pitch of SRM and RM, tighten clamps, remove winch system.
 * Weigh IM/... section.
 * Build up SS to BF level.
 * Add BF.
==== Report for the week of 3/18 ====
 * BS
  * Terrence notice that one of the IP LVDTs was not working. We traced it to an unplugged cable, plugged it back in and screwed it together to prevent a recurrence.
  * Simon helped us rebuild the damaged LEN OL QPD stage and Terrence reinstalled it. We removed a C-clamp that we had been using to immobilize the breadboard because it interfered with the QPD stage, and replaced it with a more elegant solution using a dog clamp underneath.
  * We noticed that the BS IP had fallen over in +L at some time shortly before Nakano-san aligned the optic on 3/18. Terrence tried to recenter it but it was unstable. We decided to remove the tank lid one more time and remove some arc weights. The IP frequency had been 39 mHz the last time it was measurable, and we increased it to a much-safer 80 mHz by removing 9 kg. We believe we were able to recover Nakano-san's alignment fairly closely.
  * Terrence then recalibrated and diagonalized both the TILT and LEN OL.
 * SR2
  * Terrence recalibrated the OL.
 * SR3
  * Mark pulled out unused cables leading into the SR3 cleanbooth.
 * SRM
  * Terrence set up the SRM Guardian.
 * Etc/All
  * Mark did an audit of the OL whitening/dewhitening system and fixed a bunch of problems: the SRM chassis was the wrong type, with no actual whitening card; SR2 and SRM needed whitening filters turned on; BS LEN needed the dewhitening turned on; SR2, SR3 and SRM needed dewhitening filters installed and turned on; SRM needed more gain.
  * Terrence weeded out a minor error from his OL diagonalization scheme and got L, T and Y independent at the 1% level for SR2 and SRM. He will do SR3 next.
  * Fabian measured the gain resistor values and other settings of the LVDT drivers, in case a card or chassis fails and we have to approximate the original state without the chance to recalibrate from scratch.
  * Fabian monitored the pumpdown.
