==== Report for week of 10/1 ====
===== SR2 =====
 * We solved a mystery with the height of the BF keystone: it turns out that running the table KOACH filters in the tank warms it up (by about 1.5°C) and causes significant sag (700 µm). D'oh!
 * We ran power to the pico drivers.
 * We got the lower section of the SR2 fairly well aligned with just a bit of adjustment with the IM pitch and roll picos.
 * We helped Lucia double-check the geometry of the IP - the current matrix calculation assumes the FRs and the LVDT sensors and actuators are colocated, which is much closer to true than for the BS, but not quite right.
 * We gave up on doing anything more with SR2 for now because we're waiting on extra extension cables for the PI and Fujii-kun will want to borrow one of the geophones next week for a huddle test with new geophones.
===== SRM =====
 * We set the pitch of the SRM and RM, tightened the clamps and removed the winch system.
 * We installed the BF crossbars of the assembly frame and the BF ring section of the security structure.
 * We lifted the IM/... section on the load gauge to find its weight.
 * We craned in the BF and removed the cap.
 * We installed the BF-IRM rods and the IRM top plate.
 * We installed the BF-IM maraging rod and flying saucer cable clamps.
 * We suspended the IM/... section and adjusted the trim masses for balance and total mass. It took quite a lot of adjustment in each of pitch, roll and vertical. The vertical was due to the fact that the weight of the IM/... section is very close to that of SR2/SR3 but the SRM BF is about 0.5 kg weaker. The roll was due to the fact that the default configuration of trim mass had no correction for the horizontal wedge on the optic. However the pitch is a bit of a mystery - nearly all of the removed mass had to come off the AR side. Fortunately we were able to correct for it entirely with masses we had in hand.
 * We routed the TM OSEM cables via the flying saucer up to the underside of the BF.
 * We got 2 power supplies from Shimode-san so we can fire up the SRM rack next week. He will also supply suitable cables to connect the power supplies to the DC power strip in the rack.
 * We received the replated yoke for the SRM top filter.

==== Plan for week of 10/8 ====
 * Monday 10/8 is Sports Day.
 * Enzo returns Tuesday 10/9.
 * Mark and Terrence (plus TBD) at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
 * Enzo, Hirata-san, Fabian and Panwei at Kamioka Tue-Fri.
===== SR2/SR3 =====
 * Terrence to set up LEN half of SR3 OL and, time permitting, TILT and LEN for SR2.
===== SRM =====
 * Cable/test BF.
 * Install IRM.
 * Install/cable/test IM OSEMs.
 * Suspend/weigh/balance the BF/... section.
==== Report for week of 12/17 ====
 * BS
  * We opened the top of the BS tank after the vent.
  * We inspected the BS F0 blades for cracks but still didn't find any.
  * We removed the arc weights and geophones, and added new longer studs for the arc weights and new cables for the geophones. We then put back the original arc weights and new geophones.
  * We measured the geometry of the various IP items to check the IP diagonalization matrices.
  * We installed the new double-sided F0 FR. We were not close to needing to add the optional !CuBe spring. Unfortunately the FR had rather less friction but still didn't work. After checking a bunch of possibilities and comparing against SRM (also non-working) and SR2/SR3 (working), we suspect the carriage may be assembled upside down, with the metal plate below and the PEEK plate above. We will try changing it next week.
 * We adjusted the F0 keystone trim mass and were able to get it to sit at CAD nominal height at nominal temperature (24.9°C) with mid-range FR and modest extra mass (413 g). Interestingly, we noticed that removing the arc weights and/or geophones reduced the load capacity by a few hundred grams.
 * We measured the total range of the IP FRs in steps and set them to mid-range in preparation for tuning the IP frequency and (re-)centering the IP.
 * SRM
  * We borrowed an LED from SR2 and set the pitch of the SRM optic.
  * We found the SRM front end had crashed and could not be properly reset by cycling the power from the web interface. Yamamoto-san eventually got it working for us, although it didn't seem to take more than restarting the user and IOP models.
  * We sealed and retested the new geophones originally intended for SRM, but decided to use them on BS instead.
  * We installed the two OL viewports. We also tried to install the camera viewport but we couldn't get the Cu gasket to sit in the recess, so we gave up and will probably reallocate the camera viewport to SR3 for now (where it will go on a different type of flange which we've had success with. Saito-san says that we can get help with the SRM flange from Mirapro on 1/28.
 * SR3
  * We opened the top of the tank briefly to inspect the configuration of the F0 FR, but didn't do any significant work.
  * Hirose-san inspected inside the bottom part of the chamber and found some dust, so he recommended we wipe with Vectra-Alpha wipes (IPA-resistant type) and IPA. he gave us a powerful LED flashlight array and asked us to use it to look for dust in all the chambers.
 * Etc
  * We gave Simon a list of items we still need for the SRM OL. He seemed to think that they should be in stock at Kamioka and will help us look for them next Tue 1/15.
  * Mark and Enzo booked flights for the KAGRA International Workshop.
  * Mark had to schedule a trip to Australia for the week of 1/21 to attend to family business.

==== Vacation/Visitor Info ====
 * Enzo: 9/15 through 10/8 vacation in Chile.
 * Terrence: 10/8-12, 10/29-11/2 at Kamioka.
==== 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 and Enzo: KAGRA International Workshop in Perugia, 2/14-16.
 * Terrence: back at Kamioka from 1/7.
