| ==== Report for week of 10/15 ==== ===== SRM ===== * We received the fourth feedthrough we had been waiting for and installed it on the AF. * Fabian added the cables between the FE computer and the ADC/DAC boxes, and we checked that we were getting IO in the real-time model. * Fabian and Enzo connected up the Sat Amps. * Fabian double-checked the optic pitch, got the IRM nicely aligned to the IM, cabled IM OSEMs V1, V2, V3 and H1, and adjusted those OSEMs in/out to midrange. * Hirata-san set the compression on the F0 to 30 mm and measured the height and frequency as a function of load. He then fixed a loose screw on one of the blade tips and repeated the measurement. The frequency was fairly constant at around 0.5, which will do. He did a mass budget and chose a F1 CuBe spring. We may do a tiny bit more compression if the frequency degrades, and/or choose an even stronger spring if the load capacity is not enough. * Hirata-san took apart and reassembled one of the LBB blade units, which had a badly seated blade. * Hirata-san put cable clamps on the SF and on the PI. We are very short on the PEEK clamp pieces, so he scavenged some from SR2. * We added a new LAN hub for SRM, and configured two stepper drivers as SRM_IP and SRM_GAS. * Late in the week we received extra Type 3-4 cables (thanks to Sato-san for expediting) and were able to cable IM OSEMs H2 and H3, and the BF LVDT. * Enzo made a new batch of feedthrough adapters. ===== SR2 ===== * We finalized the geophone cabling and reinstalled the geophones. * We received the new arc weights, and used some of them to install a basic allotment of 6 38-mm weights on SR3 per the CAD. We then added two extra 19-mm arc weights for tuning and got a good IP frequency of 0.133 Hz. * Apart from the F0 yaw stepper issue and the OL, the SR2 is now more-or-less complete and adjusted mechanically, and just needs software work (control loops etc). We will however have to borrow one of the geophones at some point to do a huddle test with the final batch of new geophones (including those for SRM). Terrence can set up the OL in the week of 10/29. ==== Plan for week of 10/22 ==== * Friday is NAOJ Open Day Prep - no Kamioka work. * Mark, Hirata-san and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu. * Enzo at Kamioka Tue-Thu. ===== SR2 ===== * Do a measurement of how much torque is required on the F0 keystone to move the system in yaw. (This will help Sato-san choose a suitable stepper driver for the new design.) * Continue shakedown. * Gather parts for the OL (with help from Simon). ===== SRM ===== * Scavenge HPCDs from SR2 and SR3 (currently we only have one for SRM) and organize to get LPCDs modified. * Suspend/weigh/balance the BF/... section. * Build up the AF and SS to the SF level. * Install the SF. ==== Plan for week of 10/29 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Fabian and Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri. ===== SR2 ===== * Set up OL. ===== SRM ===== * Continue assembly. ==== To-Do Lists, Schedule ==== * [[KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDoBS]] * [[KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDoSR]] * [[https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=7779|JGW-L1807779 Type B Schedule (SR)]] |

* Modified Takanori's Simulink/Matlab simulation in order to include the length sensing oplev and its control feedback path. * Imported Enzo's IM/GAS/IP-LVDT filters into the simulation. * Imported into the simulation the measured LVDT floor noise (sensitivities) and * Calculated the IP-L, IP-T and IP-Y sensitivities. ==== Report for Golden Week ==== * Mark monitored vent and pumpdown, and worked on vistools.py. ==== Report for the week of 5/6 ==== * Lucia and Terrence got the blending working for the IP LVDTs and geophones. * Terrence and Mark modified the models and MEDM screens to add a new IP block, IDAMP, for damping using the blended signal with inertial information, and a new DAMPMODE block for ramping smoothly between IDAMP and the old DAMP. * Mark worked on vistools.py, improving the support for cdsMuxMatrix blocks (e.g., OSEM2EUL) and adding support for cdsRampMuxMatrix blocks (e.g., the newly introduced DAMPMODE). He also created two sets of unit tests, unittest.py and unittest.sh, for the two modes of use (as a Python module in other Python programs, and as a command-line utility in bash). ==== Report for week of 5/13 ==== * Terrence and Mark looked at the velocity and angular velocity noise of the SR2 as reported by the LEN OL. The Y signal was fairly clean and the Y RMS angular velocity requirement was met. However the L signal was quite noisy, and was also contaminating the P signal due to the large cross terms in the diagonalization matrix. The RMS L from 5 Hz down with damping on was around 10 µm/s, which is 10 times the requirement. However little of this was due to pendulum resonances - most of the noise was featureless and broadband. In displacement units the noise was flat up to about 1 Hz and then smoothly rolled off to f^-2. The noise in the raw P and Y signals (not yet divided by the sum) was about 10 times the noise in the SUM * We tried improving the noise with different whitening settings. Increasing the overall gain, increasing it at the QPD but reducing it at the whitening filter, and switching off the 1-10Hz boost whitening filter (and compensating software filter) had no effect. Blocking the beam reduced the noise by about 2 orders and brought the raw P and Y in line with the SUM, suggesting that the problem was before the QPD. * Mark swapped in an improved version of `vistools.py`, debugged a few small issues, and simplified the `TYPEB.py` Guardian. ==== Vacation/Travel Info ==== * Terrence's next visit from 4/18 to 7/27. * Mark's US vacation from 5/22 to 6/11. * Mark's final day 6/28. |

Report on the simulation by Fabian:
- Modified Takanori's Simulink/Matlab simulation in order to include the length sensing oplev and its control feedback path.
- Imported Enzo's IM/GAS/IP-LVDT filters into the simulation.
- Imported into the simulation the measured LVDT floor noise (sensitivities) and
- Calculated the IP-L, IP-T and IP-Y sensitivities.
Report for Golden Week
