| ==== 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. |

| ==== Plan for week of 3/11 ===== * Mark at Kamioka full week. * Enzo at Kamioka Mon, Tue, then JPS. * Hirata-san at Kamioka from Monday lunchtime through Friday. * Fix BS. * Final test of stepper remote enable system (someone in cleanroom checks the lights go on/off). * Install/test hardware watchdogs. * Continue monitoring SRM yaw drift. * More mode Q measurements. * Work on Type B paper. |
* 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. |

| ==== 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. |

Report for the week of 5/13
Report on the simulation by Fabian:
- 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.
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).
