 * BS
  * Fabian did some debugging on the BS and found that the calibration for the F0 LVDT was off due to an Excel error, and that the sag wasn't quite the 7 mm originally observed, but still enough to cause the suspension to touch down. Enzo tried applying LVDT actuation at the GAS filters and got it to lift off far enough to get sensible TFs, but the required BF offset was enough to put the IM OSEMs at the very edge of their usable range, so this is not a good long-term solution. We can probably raise the F0 keystone during the vent by removing mass and/or installing an auxiliary spring, which will then allow us to return the BF keystone to nominal height.
  * While working on the BS, Enzo noticed that one of the stepper drivers was not responding. It turned out to be water damaged from the rain issues earlier in the year. Enzo and Fujii-kun opened the rest of the BS chassises on the second floor but they seem to be OK. Tanaka-san had made a third driver chassis as a spare, so we reserved that and will install it in the week of 12/10.

  * Hirata-san and Mark craned the LBB ring sandwich to the ceiling of the lower half of the tank, and set the heights of the jacks on the upper half.
  * Fabian and Hirata-san finished the in-vacuum cabling.
  * Enzo ran DC power to the second SRM stepper driver and did the rest of the in-air cabling.
  * We're now ready for final tests of the SF/... items and initial tests of the PI items.
  * Enzo and Fujii-kun built three geophones for SRM.
  * Mark worked on the height budget.
  * The SRM-W optic arrived and we installed it in place of the SRM-M in the metal mass, taking care to use 1.4 mm shims as recommended by Hirose-san. The weight of the new assembly was within 1 g of the old and did not disturb the height of the payload. There was a very small change in pitch which we corrected with the IM picos.
  * We installed the shelf for the OL receiver.
  * We added the arc weights and geophones and went through several rounds of improving the centering of the IP and then realigning the security structure back to vertical.
  * We calibrated the F0 LVDT, and checked the F0 and IP actuation signs.
  * We adjusted the SF trim masses to set the SF pitch and roll, did an inventory of the trim mass and set the damper gap.
  * We did a final alignment of the whole chain and left the suspension ready for TFs during the f2f week. There is only a few hours of work left before we can install and we hope to do that on Monday 12/10.
Line 15: Line 18:
  * Enzo experimented with [[http://www2.mpq.mpg.de/~ros/geo600_docu/soft/liso/manual.pdf|LISO]] (circuit analysis software which, among other functions, can fit measured TFs with a ZPK model) but then wrote his own fitting software in Python and used it to build Foton models of key TFs of the SR2. (These are in slots FM6-FM8 of the DAMP blocks and should not be accidentally enabled.)
 
  * Enzo replaced the geophones and cables that had been borrowed for calibration and did several rounds of optimization of the IP frequency. He got as low as 46 mHz but with poor Q and so backed off a bit to 55 mHz and may back off a tiny bit more.
  * I derived updated IP matrices for the BS and SR, with more precise geometry data provided by Hirata-san, and published them as T1707205 and T1807663.
  * I created a CENTERING screen for the IP, with large panel meters for the LVDT signals and the derived L, T and Y signals.
  * Enzo confirmed that the fancy stepper control screen created by Shoda-san worked.
  * We installed a modified LPCD as IM-V for testing.
 * SR3
  * We moved HPCDs from BS and SR2 to replace the ones that had been stolen from SR3, so as to create a working suspension with an OL for Kozu-kun.
