 * 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)

==== Report for the week of 5/13 ====
Report on the simulation by Fabian:

 * Modified Takanori's Simulink/Matlab simulation in order to include the length sensing oplev and its control feedback path.
 * Imported Enzo's IM/GAS/IP-LVDT filters into the simulation.
 * Imported into the simulation the measured LVDT floor noise (sensitivities) and
 * Calculated the IP-L, IP-T and IP-Y sensitivities.

==== Report for Golden Week ====
 * Mark monitored vent and pumpdown, and worked on vistools.py.

==== 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).

==== 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.

==== Vacation/Travel Info ====
 * Terrence's next visit from 4/18 to 7/27.
 * Mark's US vacation from 5/22 to 6/11.
 * Mark's final day 6/28.
