| ==== Report for the week of 3/4 ==== * On Monday, Mark helped Aso-san with PR3, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Fabian helped Fujii-kun with PRM. * Mark and Terrence attempted to offload some BS IM/IRM yaw adjustments that had been done by Enomoto-san last Friday. They rezeroed the OL and then opened the tank lid and did a compensating adjustment to the F0 yaw stepper, then undid the IM/IRM yaw with the pico. However this did not have the desired effect, probably because the buoyancy correction had not been cancelled when Enomoto-san was working and the BF keystone was very high, with the IM-V OSEMs way too far in and possibly touching. We did our best to back out all the adjustments but the roll TFs were still messy and there were signs that the IM was not free in yaw (the IM/IRM Y varied oppositely to IP Y, indicating that the IMR was free and the IM wasn't). We ended up deciding to have Mirapro remove the ducts on the ±X sides of the tank so we could go in and inspect. * Terrence tuned the SR3 LEN OL to be free of yaw cross-coupling. * Terrence and Enzo did a full set of filters and a Guardian for SR2 and SR3. * Terrence did health checks on SR2 and SR3. * Enzo measured mode Qs. |
==== Report for the week of 3/18 ==== * BS * Terrence notice that one of the IP LVDTs was not working. We traced it to an unplugged cable, plugged it back in and screwed it together to prevent a recurrence. * Simon helped us rebuild the damaged LEN OL QPD stage and Terrence reinstalled it. We removed a C-clamp that we had been using to immobilize the breadboard because it interfered with the QPD stage, and replaced it with a more elegant solution using a dog clamp underneath. * We noticed that the BS IP had fallen over in +L at some time shortly before Nakano-san aligned the optic on 3/18. Terrence tried to recenter it but it was unstable. We decided to remove the tank lid one more time and remove some arc weights. The IP frequency had been 39 mHz the last time it was measurable, and we increased it to a much-safer 80 mHz by removing 9 kg. We believe we were able to recover Nakano-san's alignment fairly closely. * Terrence then recalibrated and diagonalized both the TILT and LEN OL. * SR2 * Terrence recalibrated the OL. * SR3 * Mark pulled out unused cables leading into the SR3 cleanbooth. * SRM * Terrence set up the SRM Guardian. * Etc/All * Mark did an audit of the OL whitening/dewhitening system and fixed a bunch of problems: the SRM chassis was the wrong type, with no actual whitening card; SR2 and SRM needed whitening filters turned on; BS LEN needed the dewhitening turned on; SR2, SR3 and SRM needed dewhitening filters installed and turned on; SRM needed more gain. * Terrence weeded out a minor error from his OL diagonalization scheme and got L, T and Y independent at the 1% level for SR2 and SRM. He will do SR3 next. * Fabian measured the gain resistor values and other settings of the LVDT drivers, in case a card or chassis fails and we have to approximate the original state without the chance to recalibrate from scratch. * Fabian monitored the pumpdown. |

Report for the week of 3/18
- BS
- Terrence notice that one of the IP LVDTs was not working. We traced it to an unplugged cable, plugged it back in and screwed it together to prevent a recurrence.
- Simon helped us rebuild the damaged LEN OL QPD stage and Terrence reinstalled it. We removed a C-clamp that we had been using to immobilize the breadboard because it interfered with the QPD stage, and replaced it with a more elegant solution using a dog clamp underneath.
- We noticed that the BS IP had fallen over in +L at some time shortly before Nakano-san aligned the optic on 3/18. Terrence tried to recenter it but it was unstable. We decided to remove the tank lid one more time and remove some arc weights. The IP frequency had been 39 mHz the last time it was measurable, and we increased it to a much-safer 80 mHz by removing 9 kg. We believe we were able to recover Nakano-san's alignment fairly closely.
- Terrence then recalibrated and diagonalized both the TILT and LEN OL.
- SR2
- Terrence recalibrated the OL.
- SR3
- Mark pulled out unused cables leading into the SR3 cleanbooth.
- SRM
- Terrence set up the SRM Guardian.
- Etc/All
- Mark did an audit of the OL whitening/dewhitening system and fixed a bunch of problems: the SRM chassis was the wrong type, with no actual whitening card; SR2 and SRM needed whitening filters turned on; BS LEN needed the dewhitening turned on; SR2, SR3 and SRM needed dewhitening filters installed and turned on; SRM needed more gain.
- Terrence weeded out a minor error from his OL diagonalization scheme and got L, T and Y independent at the 1% level for SR2 and SRM. He will do SR3 next.
- Fabian measured the gain resistor values and other settings of the LVDT drivers, in case a card or chassis fails and we have to approximate the original state without the chance to recalibrate from scratch.
- Fabian monitored the pumpdown.
