| * On Friday and Saturday last week the pump down of the central area took place. We monitored the drift in the four Type B IPs. * During the week we recovered the four suspensions successfully: we recovered the alignment of IMs, GAS filters, IPs, oplevs and measured TFs. * Terrence, Enzo and Mark installed the length sensing components in SR2 oplev. It's working now and we should use it now to measure the optic's corresponding TF. * The SRM IM is still drifting but the speed is decreasing. Yesterday Thursday the speed was '''-81 nrad/min'''. With the aim of predicting when the drift may stop Terrece removed offsets from the time series segments and spliced them in order. The work is still on progress. * Terrence did more work in changing the real-time models. * Mark did some initial debugging on the stepper reset system, starting with SRM. However there seems to be some model-related problem. A BIO Checker Board gave sensible results for the low 32 bits of DIO card #0 (used for the TM LPCD) but nothing for the high 32 bits (used for steppers, and eventually also the WD). He added the stepper reset stuff to the circuit diagram (D1503660) and made other corrections. ==== Plan for week of 2/25 ==== * Mark from Tuesday. * Enzo from Monday lunchtime. * Continue debugging stepper reset system. * Continue monitoring SRM yaw drift. * Install new RTMs and Guardian. |
==== Plan for week of 4/15 ==== * Mark, Hirata-san at Kamioka Tue-Thu. * Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Wed. * All at f2f Meeting 4/19-21. * Post-pumpdown health checks. * Teach Hirata-san about the computer systems and control theory. * Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones. * More Guardian improvements. * Update vistools.py (formerly LIGO sustools.py) for Type B and KAGRA, and have the TYPEB.py Guardian use it where appropriate. * Modify RT models and/or Guardian to revert to the SAFE state under control in all but the most extreme emergency situations (rather than suddenly shutting off all output). |

Type B (Mark)
Report for the week of 4/8
- Support of Type Bp
- Mark made lots of Guardian improvements:
- Used Guardian's timer functionality to drastically reduce the number of notifications during ramping.
- Added new requestable states DCCTRL_ONLY and NEUTRAL (and associated transitional states) to facilitate testing.
- Tidied up the code to use tabs consistently throughout for indentation.
- Disabled the test for the IM-H coil driver WD (to work around the fact that only the relay in the chassis has been disabled, not the WD signals going to the BIO).
- Mark made lots of Guardian improvements:
- We opened the BS tank lid and offloaded a large IM-Y offset to F0-Y with manual adjustment of the broken yaw mechanism).
- We opened the SR2 side doors and adjusted the V1 OSEM to mid-range.
- Mark offloaded a large SR2 IM-Y offset to F0-Y.
- Mark did health checks for BS, SR2 and SR3.
- Fabian offloaded yaw from SRM and did the SRM health check.
- Fabian updated the Python code for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect that two stepper drivers have different mappings to work around dead channels.
- Fabian monitored pumpdown on Friday afternoon and will continue on Saturday.
Plan for week of 4/15
- Mark, Hirata-san at Kamioka Tue-Thu.
- Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Wed.
- All at f2f Meeting 4/19-21.
- Post-pumpdown health checks.
- Teach Hirata-san about the computer systems and control theory.
- Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones.
- More Guardian improvements.
- Update vistools.py (formerly LIGO sustools.py) for Type B and KAGRA, and have the TYPEB.py Guardian use it where appropriate.
- Modify RT models and/or Guardian to revert to the SAFE state under control in all but the most extreme emergency situations (rather than suddenly shutting off all output).
- Work on Type B paper.
- Tidy up.
- Gather and clean tools.
