Corey, JeffK , Jim
This morning, while Corey put doors on the south side of the chamber, Jeff and I set up the B&K and got before measurements for the last corner. I then installed the last of the new damping elements, and we got the final B&K measurements for the ISI. Corey then helped me close up the last corner. After lunch, Corey and I went back out, unlocked and floated the ISI, while Jeff took the the old TMD's to the lab for retuning. Jeff will probably be logging results for TMD's and B&K soon. I'll add that we used the "hard" tip for the B&K for this mornings measurements. We should have started with that, it worked a lot better than hte soft tip, with coherence out to 2khz. Jeff says he will hang out and reinstall TMDs later tonight.
Per Hugh's suggestion, I looked at the ISI's operating CPS position over last week (before the vent) and rebalanced the table as close as I could get. Looking at the CPS in the cartesian basis made this very easy as any mass we added only changed RX,RY and Z. I'd heard this suggestion from others in the seismic group, but this was the first time I'd tried it. Recommened.
Currently, the vacuum group is putting on the East door on HAM6. This will still allow us to access every thing we need to on the ISI tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we still need to unlock the ISI again, do a sweep of the chamber, pull the septum cover and do close-out tf's. We should also check the beam diverter still actuates and that the OMC survived the rough-housing it got while Corey and I rebalanced the table.
