==== Report for week of 10/29 ==== ==== Report for the week of 3/18 ====
 * BS
  * Terrence notice that one of the IP LVDTs was not working. We traced it to an unplugged cable, plugged it back in and screwed it together to prevent a recurrence.
  * Simon helped us rebuild the damaged LEN OL QPD stage and Terrence reinstalled it. We removed a C-clamp that we had been using to immobilize the breadboard because it interfered with the QPD stage, and replaced it with a more elegant solution using a dog clamp underneath.
  * We noticed that the BS IP had fallen over in +L at some time shortly before Nakano-san aligned the optic on 3/18. Terrence tried to recenter it but it was unstable. We decided to remove the tank lid one more time and remove some arc weights. The IP frequency had been 39 mHz the last time it was measurable, and we increased it to a much-safer 80 mHz by removing 9 kg. We believe we were able to recover Nakano-san's alignment fairly closely.
  * Terrence then recalibrated and diagonalized both the TILT and LEN OL.
 * SR2
  * Terrence recalibrated the OL.
 * SR3
  * Mark pulled out unused cables leading into the SR3 cleanbooth.
Line 8: Line 16:
  * 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 (two cables) or heat shrink.
  * 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 marks 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.
 * 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. A report is forthcoming.
 * 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.
==== 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)]]
  * Terrence set up the SRM Guardian.
 * Etc/All
  * Mark did an audit of the OL whitening/dewhitening system and fixed a bunch of problems: the SRM chassis was the wrong type, with no actual whitening card; SR2 and SRM needed whitening filters turned on; BS LEN needed the dewhitening turned on; SR2, SR3 and SRM needed dewhitening filters installed and turned on; SRM needed more gain.
  * Terrence weeded out a minor error from his OL diagonalization scheme and got L, T and Y independent at the 1% level for SR2 and SRM. He will do SR3 next.
  * Fabian measured the gain resistor values and other settings of the LVDT drivers, in case a card or chassis fails and we have to approximate the original state without the chance to recalibrate from scratch.
  * Fabian monitored the pumpdown.
Line 29: Line 23:
