==== Report for week of 11/12 ====
 * BS
  * Kozu-kun noticed the BS OL was out of range, and Fabian and Fujii-kun investigated. It turns out that the temperature has risen by over 2°C, so all the GAS filters have sagged and several stages are touching. Miyoki-san and Furuta-san are looking at what can be done.
  * We ordered three more geophone cables in the standard (non-flipped pinout) to save time during the December vent, where we will replace at least two of the preamps to fix issues and take the opportunity to put in non-flipped ones.
 * SRM
  * We cabled all the SF/... through to the rack and checked that all items worked.
  * We did the vertical height survey and found that as with SR2 and SR3, the chain is longer than the CAD, this time by ≈7 mm, and again mostly between the SF and BF. We decided on a keystone height of 11.5 mm (5 mm higher than CAD), which can be achieved with 1 kg more on the SF and 1 kg in reserve for a yaw stepper mechanism. We reset the height of the yoke to give near-zero LVDT output for the new nominal height, and corrected the sensing and actuation signs, but still need to do the calibration.
  * The final SRM small glass mirror became available, so we had Hirose-san ship it to us so we can install it while the suspension is still on the assembly frame. Hirata-san ordered shims to make up the new recommended thickness of 1.4 mm and a micrometer to check the combination, which should arrive on Monday 11/26.
  * Enzo took calibration data for the last batch of geophones, for SRM. We had to borrow cables from SR2 because one cable was missing and another was miswired. And it turned out that one of the SR2 cables was defective as well. But if we can find two possibly borrowed by Okutomi-san and rewire one, we should have enough for SR2 and SRM. The geophones appear to be healthy and we will seal them next week.
  * We raised the PI clear of the assembly frame and unlocked and centered the IP. We calibrated the IP LVDTs, and reversed connections to get positive LVDT output for positive yaw. We borrowed a HPCD from SR3-IM-V for the SRM IP but haven't checked the actuation yet.
  
 * SR2
  * While we were grabbing geophone cables from SR2, we added extra arc weights to get the IP frequency below 0.1 Hz.
  * Akutsu-san showed us how to install the OL transmitter support pillar, receiver shelf and viewports. We believe we have the parts to finish setting up the SR2 OL.

 * SRM
  * Clean tools and metal parts for final SRM glass mass.
  * Swap in final glass mass.
  * Adjust SF trim mass.
  * 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
  * Finish OL setup
  * TFs.
  * Control loops.
 * Fabian monitored suspensions during the vent.
 * Terrence and Mark made lots of changes to the Guardians and RTMs:
  * Added UI to take snapshots with ALIGNED/MISALIGNED channels (for late use by Guardian).
  * Changed "IM1" and "IM2" in channel names to "IMV" and "IMH"; also "DIO" and "BO" -> "BIO".
  * Created library blocks for BIO and made all the Type B models use them.
  * Tweaked the control topology to be more LIGO-style: the error signal for DC control is sensor-setpoint (not setpoint-sensor as in many controls textbooks); the input to the damping block is the uninverted sensor signal(s); there is a hard-wired -1 after the damping block representing default negative gain.
 * Fabian went inside the SRM chamber and diagnosed the problem that had appeared shortly before vent. It turned out to be yaw of the IP causing a payload cable to touch. He fixed it with the F0 yaw stepper. (He had tried this earlier without success but it turned out the problem was another dead output on the stepper driver.)
 * Terrence traced the geophone issue to a group of dead channels (#20-23) on the AA chassis. We tried replacing the chassis and it fixed not only the geophone issue but an issue in the TILT OL path (#24-27) that we had planned to debug next.
 * We retested the BIO for stepper remote enable system and this time it was working (probably due to the refactoring of the BIO stuff in the model and/or all the restarts).
 * We rebuilt all the IOP models after removing an unneeded ADC1 block (corresponding to hardware that Yoshizawa-san had removed).
 * Enzo and Terrence wrote Python scripts to automate the process of adapting the control filters to the new topology (where the DAMP and DCCTRL functions are in parallel instead of series).

 * Enzo at Mitaka.
 * Mark, Fabian Mon-Wed (Thu is farewell party).
 * Final tweaks of SRM?
 * Monitor (re-)pumpdown.
 * Tests of new Guardian.
 * Final test of stepper remote enable system (someone in cleanroom checks the lights go on/off).
 * Continue monitoring SRM yaw drift.
 * Setup SRM and SR3 LEN OLs.
 * Work on Type B paper.
