 * Type B Past Week Summary - week of 8/8
  * Mark, Fabian and Hirata-san cleaned glue off the dummy BS, attached Akutsu-san's new SS mirror plates, reglued the flags and prisms, and removed the gluing hardware, so the dummy BS is ready for shipping. Tatsumi-san's refinements to the tooling (especially the new flag holders) worked very smoothly. We were more generous with the glue and much more careful with the alignment of the prisms to the barrel, both during rehearsal and the final gluing.
  * Mark wrote up the gluing procedure as a new document [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=5505| E1605505]]. (The original plan was to do an addendum to Tatsumi-san's PR gluing procedure JGW-E1504248, but there was too much material.)
  * Hirata-san organized with Takahashi-san to get the BS payload masses shipped to Kamioka. They will go in an air-ride truck on Wed 8/17 together with a load of Type A stuff, and will arrive early on Thu 8/17.
  * Hirata-san shipped the collection of Type B fasteners to Kamioka, to arrive Mon 8/15.
  * Hirata-san measured another standard filter and cleaned various parts for people.
  * Hirata-san worked on the SR2 Inventor assembly. He spotted a problem with the orientation: given the position of the pistons in the SR2 tank (according to the assembly from Mirapro), mating the standard Type B SR chain and the chamber in the natural way puts the optic at 90° to what it needs to be. A similar problem was found in the Type B Test at Mitaka, and it was eventually worked around, but with some difficulty. Hirata-san will investigate the best way of making a correction.
  * Komori-kun, Kuwahara-kun and Akutsu-san calibrated an initial batch of 7 wide-mouthed OSEMs.
  * Fabian worked on the payload assembly procedure.
 * Type B Past Week Summary - week of 8/15
  * Hirata-san shipped the fasteners to Kamioka, and they arrived Tuesday.
  * Hirata-san shipped a large load of Type A and Type B items, which Mark and Fabian received on Thursday 8/18.
  * Akutsu-san shipped the first 7 OSEMs.
  * Mark, Fabian and Zhao-kun did a major cleanup and reorganization of the BS clean booth at Kamioka, putting PR2 stuff in boxes, vacuuming and wiping, and making space.
  * Mark, Fabian and Zhao-kun set the crossbeams of the assembly frame to their correct positions and installed the EQ stop ring on top, ready to receive the IM. This is the first actual installation activity for Type B.

==== 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.

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.
