| ==== Report for week of 10/29 ==== * SRM * Enzo realized that he could cover the next round of needed cables with more cable soldering and did another batch. Because Yamamoto-san's lab was running low on isopropanol, Hirata-san washed them with ethanol at Mozumi. * Enzo worked out the optimum output resistance for the LPCDs to substitute for HPCDs with the horizontal IM OSEMs. The value was quite close to that already chosen for modified LPCDs by the cryogenic group, so we're going to standardize. The modified LPCDs will have to be operated with the internal watchdog disabled for now because it was hard-wired to 2 mA. * Fabian finished adding the TM OSEM cables out to the rack and tested them. * We ran DC power and network to the second SRM stepper driver. We still need to get one more DC power cable to replace one we borrowed from SR3. We added the remaining steppers to the Python driver and MEDM screen. * We reconfigured the top of the assembly frame in preparation for the PI (removing crossbars and moving jacks down). * Hirata-san put the magnets on the SF damper and we hooked it to the PI, craned the PI into the assembly frame and joined it to the security structure. * We installed the F0-SF rod and flying saucer and suspended the SF/... section. We had plenty of spare load capacity, so we changed the CuBe spring to a weaker one and put 2.3 kg of ballast on the SF cap. This leaves 1.2 kg reserve for cables and an F0 yaw stepper mechanism. * We reduced the trim mass on the BF to compensate for the mass of the TM OSEM cables. * We measured all the bounce frequencies. * Hirata-san put magnets on the LBB damper magnet ring, put the pieces into the tank and assembled them into a sandwich ready for craning. * SR2 * Hirata-san unclamped the LBB damper rings and suspended the LBB. It still needs ballast mass and is currently sitting high, with the blades at their upper stops. |
==== 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. |

Type B (Mark)
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 4/22
- Mark, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
- Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.

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.
