Sept 1-7 (Total: 5.25 hours)- This week I spent some time taking measurements from the fusing unit to make sure the lamp is strong enough to fuse the fibers within spec. I researched different lamps from Eiko and lenses from various sites which could increase the strength of the light.
Sept 8-14 (Total: 7 hours)- On Monday, I cleaned the fiber collars of the apoxy which held the ferrules in place. I also took voltage measurements of the thermistor because the LabView program needed to be modified. Wednesday I helped Ann Marie with making sure the thermistor was waterproof. I also started the drawings for the styrofoam cut-outs for when we take the fibers and microscope pieces down to JLab. Thursday I worked on the styrofoam drawing more.
Sept 15-21 (Total: 7 hours)- This week I spent a lot of time working on drawings. Last week there was a miscommunication, and I have to create a styrofoam cut-out for the microscope all constructed. This will be done after I finish the drawings for the backplane and chimney. Thursday I talked to Alan and discussed the TurboCad drawing for the backplane. It will require multiple drawings and construction holes 0.375" dia and 6" apart. Hopefully we can find a place to split the drawing well to take advantage of the many arrays of holes.
