 * Type B Past Week Summary
  * Fabian took photos of the cleanroom in the ATC.
  * Hirata-san ordered wire for the BS.
  * Fabian weighed the masses that he'd been constructing in the cleanroom and found a 600 g discrepancy from the Inventor.
  * Hirata-san ordered a medium-capacity scale to help check the masses of the parts.
 * Type B ongoing issues
  * OSEMs
   * Akutsu-san is working to get wide-mouth OSEMs
  * Longer cables for BF->PI and SF->PI.
   * Connectors RECEIVED, cables being made.

=== Type B (Mark) ===
==== 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.
