| * Type B Past Week Summary * Mark did a Type B schedule presentation at the Extended Chiefs Meeting. It was decided to order a second assembly frame so that the BS/SR2/SR3/SRM installations can overlap more. * Mark and Hirata-san helped Mirapro construct the assembly frame ([[https://goo.gl/photos/tVGoebw7FTRMAYB2A|photos]]). * Mark and Hirata-san took the jacks and adapter plates off the frame, and cleaned them to remove as much of the original grease as possible. Takahashi-san has offered to re-grease them with vacuum grease. * Mark and Hirata-san wiped down the assembly frame and put the clean bag on it. * Saito-san, Ohishi-san and several people from Mirapro adjusted the position of the BS chamber. * Mark plugged the geophones back into the PR2 rack and checked that the repaired cable was working. * Fabian did more pre-assembly of the RM/IM/IRM. * Takahashi-san ordered 10 mm diameter x 10 mm long magnets for the IM flags. * Mark inspected the SR2 section of the clean booth to see where SR2 assembly could be done. The slot in the ceiling for the crane runs in the ±X direction (at right angles to that for the BS), and there are suitable space on both the +X and the -X sides of the SR2 tank. * Hasegawa-san (of Hirose-san's lab) took delivery of the cup for removing the prisms on the dummy BS. It fits well. * Tatsumi-san ordered [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=5357|modifications]] to the BS gluing jig to make it easier to remove the pieces holding the flags after the flags are attached. The parts are expected Fri 7/8. He also ordered more EP30, but this won't arrive until the week of 7/18. * Type B ongoing issues * Wires * Need to decide RM wire thickness and order BS and RM wires. Lead time is a few days from Nilaco. * OSEMs * Akutsu-san is working to get wide-mouth OSEMs * Longer cables for BF->PI and SF->PI. * Connectors RECEIVED, cables being made. * SR machining test ongoing. * Lower breadboard stuff * Installation to be incorporated into the procedure document. Mark/Takahashi to discuss. * Breadboard springs (in manufacture, expected end of July) * Nail-head parts - RECEIVED. * Documents * BS Assembly Procedure [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4235| E1504235]], [[https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D5CCFA70A378E0D0!195&authkey=!AM_usynuo9QI57g&ithint=folder,webloc|E1504235 draft]] * To-do list for Fabian/Hirata-san during Mark's vacation * Finish assembly of BS IM, RM and IRM (Fabian). * Weigh IM/RM/IRM (Fabian, Hirata) * Pack/ship IM/RM/IRM to Kamioka (Hirata/Fabian). * Analyze geophone data (Mark, Shoda) * Remove glue from dummy BS face (Fabian). * Remove prism from dummy BS (Hirose, Fabian?) * Reglue flags and prisms (Tatsumi, Fabian) * Buy wire for BS and RM (Hirata) * Clean wire for BS and RM (Hirata) * Do fit/function test of winches (Fabian/Hirata) * Ship winches to Kamioka (Hirata/Fabian) * Work on BS simulation (Fabian) * Do Inventor assembly for SR2 in chamber and on assembly frame (Hirata) * Apply vacuum grease to jacks for BS assembly frame (Takahashi) * Write more of payload assembly procedure (Fabian) * Write more of main assembly procedure (Mark) * Longer term to-do list * Do BS Simulink model (Mark, Kokeyama) * Do 2D drawings of SR2 parts (Hirata) * Redesign SRx IM wire clamps for larger prisms, remachined RMs. * Order SRM/PRM parts (Hirata/Shoda) * Order SRx fasteners (Hirata) * Check SR RM machining test progress (Hirata) |
=== 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.

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.
Report for the week of 4/22
- Fabian debugged an anomaly he found in the SRM (klog 8672) and found it was OK if the BF was high enough (klog 8733).
- Mark and Terrence worked on improvements to the Guardian and the vistools.py package.
We debugged a problem where vistools.py triggered channel access timeouts when a Vis object was created in a live Guardian (it worked fine in a plain iPython session or the interactive mode of the Guardian). It turns out that in the live mode of the Guardian, the Ezca instance used for accessing the suspension is not a global variable (contrary to the documentation) but is associated with the GuardState class. Worse, creating a second Ezca instance upsets things. We came up with a workaround to grab and reuse the Ezca object already defined.
- Mark added many new functions to vistools.py, including one to read the BIO WD status, and a group to manipulate the OLSET and OLDCCTRL filter blocks.
- Terrence rewrote the TYPEB.py Guardian from scratch in terms of functions from vistools.py.
- We removed the RESET state.
- We renamed the DCCTRL_ONLY state to FLOAT and reimplemented it to switch the DCCTRL INPUT switches off (instead of the HOLD switches on).
- We revised the OL_DAMPING_ENGAGED and neighboring states (ALIGN, MISALIGN etc).
- We changed the RTMs to remove the TM_OSEM_DAMP blocks and to have the SET blocks connect only to the DCCTRL blocks (not the DAMP blocks).
- We updated the PAYLOAD and OVERVIEW screens to reflect the RTM changes. We also fixed some broken links and fields related to the BIO functions.
Plan for week of 4/29
- Glorious 10-day break!
