==== Report for week of 11/12 ====
 * SRM
  * 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.
 * SR2
  * 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.)

==== Plan for week of 11/19 ====
 * Friday 11/23 is Labor Thanksgiving Day.
 * Mark, Enzo and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.
 * Hirata-san at Kamioka Tue-Thu (Mitaka on Mon for Engineering Promotion Office meeting).
===== SRM =====
 * Go/no-go test of all electronics items, especially SF/... section.
 * Finish vertical height check and adjust SF trim mass as required.
 * Unlock IP and center roughly.
 * Check/adjust alignment of SS.
 * Calibrate IP LVDTs.
 * Add arc weights and geophones.
 * Improve centering/tuning of IP and SS alignment.
 * Disconnect cables at feedthroughs, lock suspension.
 * Crane into tank.
===== SR2 =====
 * Assist MIF team with pico cables and LBB breadboard ballast.
 * Install SR2 OL pillar and shelf (with AOL supervision)?
==== 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 11/26 ====
 * Move SRM in-air cables over to tank.
 * Remove First Contact.
 * Unlock and align SRM.
 * Hook and roughly ballast LBB.
==== Report for week of 5/13 ====
 * Terrence and Mark looked at the velocity and angular velocity noise of the SR2 as reported by the LEN OL. 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.
 * Mark swapped in an improved version of `vistools.py`, debugged a few small issues, and simplified the `TYPEB.py` Guardian.
