| ==== 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. ==== 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)]] |
==== 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. |

| ==== Plan for week of 11/4 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Fri. ===== 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 * Move KOACH filters * Put LBB damper rings in tank. * Set tank jacks to nominal height. |
==== Report for the week of 4/22 ==== * Fabian debugged an anomaly he found in the SRM (klog 8672) and found it was OK if the BF was high enough (klog 8733). * Mark and Terrence worked on improvements to the Guardian and the vistools.py package. * We debugged a problem where vistools.py triggered channel access timeouts when a Vis object was created in a live Guardian (it worked fine in a plain iPython session or the interactive mode of the Guardian). It turns out that in the live mode of the Guardian, the Ezca instance used for accessing the suspension is not a global variable (contrary to the documentation) but is associated with the GuardState class. Worse, creating a second Ezca instance upsets things. We came up with a workaround to grab and reuse the Ezca object already defined. * Mark added many new functions to vistools.py, including one to read the BIO WD status, and a group to manipulate the OLSET and OLDCCTRL filter blocks. * Terrence rewrote the TYPEB.py Guardian from scratch in terms of functions from vistools.py. * We removed the RESET state. * We renamed the DCCTRL_ONLY state to FLOAT and reimplemented it to switch the DCCTRL INPUT switches off (instead of the HOLD switches on). * We revised the OL_DAMPING_ENGAGED and neighboring states (ALIGN, MISALIGN etc). * We changed the RTMs to remove the TM_OSEM_DAMP blocks and to have the SET blocks connect only to the DCCTRL blocks (not the DAMP blocks). * We updated the PAYLOAD and OVERVIEW screens to reflect the RTM changes. We also fixed some broken links and fields related to the BIO functions. ==== Plan for week of 4/29 ==== * Glorious 10-day break! |

Report for the week of 4/22
- Fabian debugged an anomaly he found in the SRM (klog 8672) and found it was OK if the BF was high enough (klog 8733).
- Mark and Terrence worked on improvements to the Guardian and the vistools.py package.
We debugged a problem where vistools.py triggered channel access timeouts when a Vis object was created in a live Guardian (it worked fine in a plain iPython session or the interactive mode of the Guardian). It turns out that in the live mode of the Guardian, the Ezca instance used for accessing the suspension is not a global variable (contrary to the documentation) but is associated with the GuardState class. Worse, creating a second Ezca instance upsets things. We came up with a workaround to grab and reuse the Ezca object already defined.
- Mark added many new functions to vistools.py, including one to read the BIO WD status, and a group to manipulate the OLSET and OLDCCTRL filter blocks.
- Terrence rewrote the TYPEB.py Guardian from scratch in terms of functions from vistools.py.
- We removed the RESET state.
- We renamed the DCCTRL_ONLY state to FLOAT and reimplemented it to switch the DCCTRL INPUT switches off (instead of the HOLD switches on).
- We revised the OL_DAMPING_ENGAGED and neighboring states (ALIGN, MISALIGN etc).
- We changed the RTMs to remove the TM_OSEM_DAMP blocks and to have the SET blocks connect only to the DCCTRL blocks (not the DAMP blocks).
- We updated the PAYLOAD and OVERVIEW screens to reflect the RTM changes. We also fixed some broken links and fields related to the BIO functions.
Plan for week of 4/29
- Glorious 10-day break!
