Plan
Exp 397P
- Disassemble and pack Hitachi (pending turbopump servicing, see communication with Marine Reef Intl Linda Dailey) - 8/20/2022
- Sandra and Fabricio conduct remote training with Jon Lechich (NanoImages)
- If possible, unpack/stage contents for new SEM and mount in Paleoprep Lab - 8/26/2022 staged in Paleo Prep, except for Controller and SEM which are staged on CloseUp station for easy access, also they are heavy - easier to move to/from there
- If possible, get new SEM computer set-up on IODP network (requires internet, intranet, all SEM software, TeamViewer) - update 9/7/2022: Esprit Compact software USB stick missing, MCS is installing everything else requested, waiting for Jon Lechich to get back to us via email
Exp 397T
- Identify project collaborators and begin planning/scheduling (e.g. ET, Mills, MCS, Ops if Siem welders are needed)
- Stage materials if not already done
- Work on mounting attachment hardware/anti-vibrational mount to existing SEM bench (drilling the bench, drilling holes in steel plate, potentially cutting steel plate)
- Set-up new SEM computer on IODP network (requires internet, intranet, all SEM software, TeamViewer)
- Set up hardware (using temporary cork mounts if anti-vibrational mount not ready)
- Test basic functionality/troubleshooting SEM set-up with Jon Lechich
- Test finer functionality of SEM/troubleshooting on fossils, grain mounts and thin sections while thrusters are down and during transit (consulting Jon as necessary)
- Set-up anti-vibrational mount if not set-up during Phase 2
- Finalize user guides
- With James Brattin, work on SEM Uploader
Exp 397
- Sandra, Fabricio, Aidan do hands-on remote training with Jon Lechich/Kara/Luan (note that Pacific time is 9 hours off CPT)
- During the expedition, SEM is operated with guidance from Sandra/Fabricio/Carlos. Kara/Luan (Jon Lechich if necessary) available for shore-based support
Exp 398
- Install SEM Uploader
- Continue troubleshooting antivibration system
- Write instrument maintenance guides
- Pack up Hitachi and Hitachi consumables to return to shore
What is where
Close-up station - SEM-EDS, controller
Paleo Prep - Vibration mounts, ratchet straps, shielding, pumps, accessories

Notes
AMS inventory of Hitatchi SEM parts and consuambles (are they useful for new SEM or should be sent home together with Hitatchi?)
