Day 77

Morning
With Tony back, there were more things to do. He wanted to get the spacers from the machine shop. I reminded him of the S11 meeting, so we attended that. Afterwords, Tim talked about beam pattern design. I had no idea that Ken Hansen had been looking into that on S8 and they already had ideas of what they wanted to do. I can adapt my work for their needs, but I don't know if the way that they wanted to do it would really work best. I worked on some analysis of the resolution of the beam patterns.

Afternoon
I discussed my findings with Tony. He wants to look at making a really light table of values that can be adapted to become slower as necessary. The maximum frequency of the waves may be something like 8 Hz which is much faster than Rich said he would be needing. I drew up a process block in Visio to show how everything would flow. The trick seems to be communicating what frequencies, periods, and times are being discussed because it can become very unclear quickly.
