==== Report for week of 10/29 ====
 * SRM
  * Enzo repaired some broken cables and made some long cables from shorter ones. We ultrasonically cleaned them at Toyama U, with help from Yamamoto-san. Enzo then reinforced the joins with EP30 9two cables) or heat shrink (one cable).
  * Hirata-san finished tuning the PI. It is now complete except for some PEEK cable clamp pieces which are expected next Monday.
  * Hirata-san wiped writing off the F0 and SF yoke magnets, and off the PI.
  * Hirata-san found we were running out of magnets and ordered more - we have almost enough (short by one) for the SF damper, but will need more for the LBB damper.
  * Fabian cabled and tested the BF cap picos.
  * Fabian routed all the cables up to the underside of the SF. He cabled and tested the SF LVDT and stepper.
  * We added the SF cap and weighed the SF/... section. We appear to have a good amount of load capacity margin.
  * We put receptacles and magnets on the SF damper ring.
 * SR2
  * We opened the SR2 tank, borrowed a geophone for Fujii-kun's geophone test, and left the IP locked.
  * We gathered parts for the SR2 OL. We believe we have all the pieces we need except for an LED (the one originally allocated to SR2 is currently being used for pitch setting on SRM and we may need to steal it back). Akutsu-san wants to supervise us setting up the LED and receiver supports, so that will happen next week.
 * SR3
  * Terrence visited for another week and made more measurements on the OL.
 * BS
  * We searched for the dog clamps that we had borrowed from AOS to serve as ballast for the BS LBB and returned them to the AOS pallet.
 * Electronics
  * Enzo analyzed the LPCD and worked out the resistors we need to get the drive current recommended for the IM-V OSEMs by Shoda-san. We brought back three LPCDs for modification.

==== Report for the week of 4/15 ====
 * Fabian debugged a dead stepper on SR3 (broken driver channel) and a dead geophone on SRM (unplugged cable). He made another update to the table used by the Python script for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect the remapping.
 * Fabian monitored the pumpdown and he and Hirata-san did post-pumpdown checks of all the suspensions. They were all healthy.
 * Hirata-san participated in the health checks and learned about the computer systems.
 * Mark did major revisions to the MEDM menu on the OVERVIEW screen with scripts for making `safe.snap` files and snapshots of setpoints. He made the `safe.snap` files in directories under `/opt/rtcds/kamioka/k1/target` into symbolic links to files in `/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/vis/k1/burtfiles`, alongside the setpoint files, so that they could be backed up to the SVN (as at LIGO).
 * Mark did major updates to his `vistools.py` Python package for manipulating the suspensions (based on his LIGO `sustools.py`). He added entries for Type B suspensions to the internal database and added commands for manipulating SET and DCCTRL blocks. He also added commands to simulate pressing on the `CLEAR HISTORY` and `LOAD COEFFICIENTS` buttons.
 * Mark started updating the `TYPEB.py` Guardian definition file to use `vistools.py`. So far only the `ENGAGING_IP_CONTROL` state has been fully rewritten and tested, but other states will be simple adaptations. It should be easy to do Type A and other Guardians in the same style.

===== SRM =====
 * Main sequence
  * Add magnets to SF damper.
  * Install #353 poles
  * Move NB-03 jacks down.
  * Crane PI into AF.
  * Install F0-SF rod (#331) and flying saucer.
  * Route SF/... cables up to underside of F0.
  * Do vertical height budget.
  * Adjust SF trim mass for balance and keystone height.
  * Cable/test IP LVDTs.
  * Cable/test IP FRs.
 * LBB

 * Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.
 * Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones.
 * More Guardian improvements.
  * Improve `vistools.py` (add more useful functions; add docstrings; add support for Type A/Bp/C; create test suite).
  * Finish and test new Guardian code using `vistools.py`.
  * 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.

Report for the week of 4/15

  • Fabian debugged a dead stepper on SR3 (broken driver channel) and a dead geophone on SRM (unplugged cable). He made another update to the table used by the Python script for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect the remapping.
  • Fabian monitored the pumpdown and he and Hirata-san did post-pumpdown checks of all the suspensions. They were all healthy.
  • Hirata-san participated in the health checks and learned about the computer systems.
  • Mark did major revisions to the MEDM menu on the OVERVIEW screen with scripts for making safe.snap files and snapshots of setpoints. He made the safe.snap files in directories under /opt/rtcds/kamioka/k1/target into symbolic links to files in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/vis/k1/burtfiles, alongside the setpoint files, so that they could be backed up to the SVN (as at LIGO).

  • Mark did major updates to his vistools.py Python package for manipulating the suspensions (based on his LIGO sustools.py). He added entries for Type B suspensions to the internal database and added commands for manipulating SET and DCCTRL blocks. He also added commands to simulate pressing on the CLEAR HISTORY and LOAD COEFFICIENTS buttons.

  • Mark started updating the TYPEB.py Guardian definition file to use vistools.py. So far only the ENGAGING_IP_CONTROL state has been fully rewritten and tested, but other states will be simple adaptations. It should be easy to do Type A and other Guardians in the same style.
