| ==== Report for the week of 4/1 ==== * Support of Type Bp * Hirata-san procured the jigs for PRs and Takahashi-san tested one at TAMA. * Hirata-san cleaned up the flags for PR2 and Mark did the one for PRM. * Fabian helped Fujii-kun and Takashashi-san to reglue the flags. * Mark did a lot of maintenance on the MEDM screens: * Made the name of the suspension more obvious (no yellow text!). * Added rack temperature indicators. * Fixed the labels in the ADC screen (to reflect the LEN OL moving from ADC#0 to #1). * Fixed broken links. * Committed files to the SVN. * Mark did maintenance on the Guardian to make it give more helpful messages in the TRIGGER state. Formerly it only checked the user model watchdog and the coil driver watchdog, not the DACKILL, and gave the same generic notification for both. Now it checks all three and tells the user which need attention. * Mark tidied up the cables in the SR2 rack and returned a large pile of no-longer-used cables to the tent. * Mark started a !HealthCheck page on the Operation Manual wiki. Fabian and Mark ==== Plan for week of 4/8 ==== * Mark, Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Fri. * Help with Type Bp. * Health checks on Type B. * Monitor pumpdown. * Work on Type B paper. * 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). * Tidy up. * Gather and clean tools. * Gather and organize unused parts and fasteners. |
==== 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. |

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).
