==== Report for week of 11/14 ====
 * SRM
  * We locked the suspension and craned it into the tank. This is the last Type B tank installation!
  * While inspecting the O-ring between the service ring and the lower section of the tank, Hirata-san found a small nick, so he replaced it. (This will hopefully be the last time that flange is closed, so it needs to be left ready for Mirapro to tighten.)
  * Hirata-san and Fabian removed the First Contact, but found that a tiny piece was left behind. With advice from Hirose-san, they managed to remove it via several rounds of dabbing with an acetone-soaked lens tissue.
  * They removed the IM-RM safety bar, unlocked the lower half of the suspension, and got it reasonably well aligned by eye.
  * They moved the vacuum feedthroughs and in-air cabling over, and reconnected nearly all the electronics. (The in-air cabling will need some tidying later, but
 * SR2
  * Enzo worked on diagonalizing the IP and modeling of the whole suspension. He created Foton filters representing the response of the system in slots FM6-8 of the various filter banks.
  * Enzo and Mark set up the the SR2 OL. We may need to steal the LED back temporarily to do pitch setting on SRM, but we can take some interesting TFs on SR2 over the weekend.
 * SR3
  * Enzo configured a new stepper driver for SR3_IP and returned the one that had been borrowed from SRM. (The original SR3_IP had been used to replace a water-damaged unit on the BS.)
 * Etc
  * Mark got three more MPCDs (M = "medium" or "modified") from AEL and moved coil drivers around until all Type B suspensions had a driver in every position, with MPCDs for IM-H and HPCDs everywhere else. He returned the unused LPCDs.
  * Mark did an inventory of all the Type B electronics and got the various JGW Doc electronic items lists up to date - see [[https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=7276|E1707276]]. This included opening all the LVDT drivers to check that they had the original cards - BS, SR3 and SRM did, but SR2 had both input cards new. We let AEL know.
  * Hirata-san helped Furuta-san with floor repair.
  * Fabian changed the PR3 thermometer battery.
  * Mirapro installed a bellows on the -Y side of SR3.

==== Plan for week of 12/17 ====
 * Final alignment of SRM payload, plus BF and SF GAS.
 * (Time permitting) unlocking/centering/tuning of IP.
 * Installation of Enomoto-kun's beam target on SRM (if available).
 * Installation/testing of F0 steppers on SR2, SR3, SRM, and (hopefully) final vertical height adjustment.
 * Installation of viewports on SRM.
 * 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.

==== Plan for week of 12/24 ====
 * Most of team on holidays - no Kamioka work.
==== Report for Golden Week ====
 * Mark monitored vent and pumpdown, and worked on vistools.py.

==== Vacation/Etc Info ====
 * Mark: 12/24 - 1/4.
 * Hirata-san: 12/24 - 1/4.
 * Fabian: TBD but similar.
 * Enzo: TBD but similar.
 * Mark and Enzo: KAGRA International Workshop in Perugia, 2/14-16.
==== 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.
