 * Type B Past Week Summary
  * Akutsu-san provided a set of cleanroom gear (shoes only slightly too tight!) for use by Mark this week. And Sakamoto-san sent another set from Kamioka to Kashiwa.
  * The RM, IM and IRM were weighed, and wrapped/packed for shipment to Kamioka.
  * Mark made a checklist of all the parts of the BS mirror box and gluing jig, to help with collecting the parts from Kashiwa.
  * Hirata-san removed the remaining glue from the BS primary and secondary prisms, as well as the prisms removed from the PR hanging test mirror.
 * Type B ongoing issues
  * OSEMs
   * Akutsu-san is working to get wide-mouth OSEMs ([[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=1853|2 assembled]]; another few were assembled and a batch of 7 were washed.
   * Mark worked on the schedule, making the next few weeks more realistic and incorporating the new plan for the SR RMs (the test will be used for SR2 but two more will be made from scratch next financial year).
  * Longer cables for BF->PI and SF->PI.
   * Connectors RECEIVED, cables being made.
  * SR machining test NEARLY DONE. The part looks good and will be used but the ones for SR3 and SRM will be made from scratch.
  * Lower breadboard stuff
   * Installation to be incorporated into the procedure document. Mark/Takahashi to discuss.
   * Breadboard springs - RECEIVED.
  * Documents
   * BS Assembly Procedure [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4235| E1504235]], [[https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D5CCFA70A378E0D0!195&authkey=!AM_usynuo9QI57g&ithint=folder,webloc|E1504235 draft]]
 * To-do list during Mark's vacation
  * Weigh IM/RM/IRM (Fabian, Hirata) - DONE but anomalies found.
  * Pack/ship IM/RM/IRM to Kamioka (Hirata/Fabian) - from 8/1.
  * Analyze geophone data (Fabian/Shoda) - data taken by Shoda-san; Fabian to find calibration factors.
  * Remove glue from dummy BS face (Fabian) - MOSTLY DONE.
  * Reglue flags and prisms (Tatsumi, Fabian) - from Friday 8/5.
  * Clean wire for BS and RM (Hirata) - DONE
  * Get new winch parts for new wire diameters - design received from Ikenoue-san
  * Do fit/function test of winches (Fabian/Hirata)
  * Ship winches to Kamioka (Hirata/Fabian)
  * Work on BS simulation (Fabian)
  * Do Inventor assembly for SR2 in chamber and on assembly frame (Hirata) - ONGOING.
  * Write more of payload assembly procedure (Fabian)
  * Write more of main assembly procedure (Mark)
 * Longer term to-do list
  * Do BS Simulink model (Mark, Kokeyama)
  * Do 2D drawings of SR2 parts (Hirata)
  * Redesign SRx IM wire clamps for larger prisms, remachined RMs.
  * Order SRM/PRM parts (Hirata/Shoda)
  * Order SRx fasteners (Hirata)		 === Type B (Mark) ===
==== Report for the week of 4/15 ====
 * Fabian debugged a dead stepper on SR3 (broken driver channel) and a dead geophone on SRM (unplugged cable). He made another update to the table used by the Python script for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect the remapping.
 * Fabian monitored the pumpdown and he and Hirata-san did post-pumpdown checks of all the suspensions. They were all healthy.
 * Hirata-san participated in the health checks and learned about the computer systems.
 * Mark did major revisions to the MEDM menu on the OVERVIEW screen with scripts for making `safe.snap` files and snapshots of setpoints. He made the `safe.snap` files in directories under `/opt/rtcds/kamioka/k1/target` into symbolic links to files in `/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/vis/k1/burtfiles`, alongside the setpoint files, so that they could be backed up to the SVN (as at LIGO).
 * Mark did major updates to his `vistools.py` Python package for manipulating the suspensions (based on his LIGO `sustools.py`). He added entries for Type B suspensions to the internal database and added commands for manipulating SET and DCCTRL blocks. He also added commands to simulate pressing on the `CLEAR HISTORY` and `LOAD COEFFICIENTS` buttons.
 * Mark started updating the `TYPEB.py` Guardian definition file to use `vistools.py`. So far only the `ENGAGING_IP_CONTROL` state has been fully rewritten and tested, but other states will be simple adaptations. It should be easy to do Type A and other Guardians in the same style.

==== Plan for week of 4/22 ====
 * Mark, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
 * Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.
 * Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones.
 * More Guardian improvements.
  * Improve `vistools.py` (add more useful functions; add docstrings; add support for Type A/Bp/C; create test suite).
  * Finish and test new Guardian code using `vistools.py`.
  * 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.
  * Gather and organize unused parts and fasteners.

==== Vacation/Travel Info ====
 * Terrence's next visit from 4/18 to 7/27.
 * Fabian's vacation 4/26 to 5/10.
 * Mark's US vacation from 5/22 to 6/11.
 * Mark's final day 6/28.

Type B (Mark)

Report for the week of 4/15

  • Fabian debugged a dead stepper on SR3 (broken driver channel) and a dead geophone on SRM (unplugged cable). He made another update to the table used by the Python script for the stepper driver MEDM screen to reflect the remapping.
  • Fabian monitored the pumpdown and he and Hirata-san did post-pumpdown checks of all the suspensions. They were all healthy.
  • Hirata-san participated in the health checks and learned about the computer systems.

  • Mark did major revisions to the MEDM menu on the OVERVIEW screen with scripts for making safe.snap files and snapshots of setpoints. He made the safe.snap files in directories under /opt/rtcds/kamioka/k1/target into symbolic links to files in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/vis/k1/burtfiles, alongside the setpoint files, so that they could be backed up to the SVN (as at LIGO).

  • Mark did major updates to his vistools.py Python package for manipulating the suspensions (based on his LIGO sustools.py). He added entries for Type B suspensions to the internal database and added commands for manipulating SET and DCCTRL blocks. He also added commands to simulate pressing on the CLEAR HISTORY and LOAD COEFFICIENTS buttons.

  • Mark started updating the TYPEB.py Guardian definition file to use vistools.py. So far only the ENGAGING_IP_CONTROL state has been fully rewritten and tested, but other states will be simple adaptations. It should be easy to do Type A and other Guardians in the same style.

Plan for week of 4/22

  • Mark, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri.
  • Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu.
  • Work with Lucia to do blending of the IP LVDTs and geophones.
  • More Guardian improvements.

    • Improve vistools.py (add more useful functions; add docstrings; add support for Type A/Bp/C; create test suite).
