| ==== 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)]] |

| ==== 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 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). |

| ==== Plan for week of 11/11 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Fri. ===== SRM ===== * Unlock IP and center roughly. * Calibrate IP LVDTs. * Check/adjust alignment of SS. * Add arc weights and geophones (or extra mass equivalent to geophones). * Cable/test geophones. * Improve centering/tuning of IP and SS alignment. |
==== Report for week of 5/13 ==== * Terrence measured Q's for nearly all modes on SR2 from TFs and then did some ring-down tests to get a better estimate of some high-Q modes. * Terrence and Mark looked at the velocity and angular velocity noise of the SR2 as reported by the LEN and TILT OLs. * 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. Akutsu-san says the noise spectrum looks like it may be limited by air currents, and we probably need better wind shielding. * Mark swapped in an improved version of `vistools.py`, debugged a few small issues, and simplified the `TYPEB.py` Guardian. * Fabian embarked on a project to calculate the residual motion within KAGRA's observation band (beginning at 10 Hz) to make sure The Type B suspension fulfills the requirement, and calculate the speed of the optic to make sure we can acquire the lock. * He modified Takanori's Simulink/Matlab simulation in order to include the length sensing oplev and its control feedback path. * He imported Enzo's IM/GAS/IP-LVDT filters into the simulation. * He imported into the simulation the measured LVDT floor noise (sensitivities). * He calculated the IP-L, IP-T and IP-Y sensitivities. |
