F1 GAS of SR3 is now being saturated (previous saturation was reported in klog#34102).
TPs of 2kHz and 65kHz are shown in Fig.1.
Saturation is still caused only in high frequency due to the up-sampling process.
Figure 2 shows the 1-month trend of GAS output and temperature around SR3.
Slightly higher temperature (same as around 25 days ago) seems to be better for F1 GAS output.
Anyway, it's better to do the offload work (by height adjustment or temperature adjustment?) to remove DAC saturation.

Apart from the control bandwidth. Does PR3 oplev QPDs have IR filters set?? If no, it might be contamination from the main IR scattered light.
Yokozawa-san,
Since current PRC2 ASC signals are fedback to the setpoint of PR3 OpLevs, the effect of WFS signals through the feedback is smaller than that of OpLev signals.
So, if ASC signals contaminates DARM, it should be also seen in PR3 OpLev signals.
I don't think OpLev feedback affects at such high frequency but could you check the signals?

I used longer data to estimate the Q value of the violin modes.
This time I could set 4096s as the fft length.

We applied ICA to clean KAGRA strain data from 1435106958 to 1435111758 (00:49–02:09 UTC, June 28, 2025) [Ref. klog 34400], using a cleaning duration of 1200 seconds. The segment was divided into four intervals for testing noise subtraction: 1435106958, 1435108158, 1435109358, and 1435110558. Here, we present the results for the interval starting at 1435108158.
The central frequencies (f_c), step-by-step improvements, and the overall inspiral range improvement are listed below. We observed effective noise subtraction in the June 28 data.
For the remaining denoising results and the list of witness channels used, please refer to the attached slides here, JGW-G2516738-v2.
The next step is testing DeepClean's performance on the June 28 data.

Channels in JGW-L2314962
It's related to klog#34468
They were updated based on the latest value of optical gain of DARM and ETMX actuator efficiencies in klog#34466.
Changes were accepted on observation.snap (Fig.1), down.snap (Fig.2), and safe.snap (Fig.3).
Finally, numerical rounding errors were reverted after re-loading observation.snap as shown in Fig.4.
I updated line tracking parameters (JGW-L2314962).
All detected changes are coming from the planned commissioning activities.
- Chagens in foton Fig.1 are related to klog#34466 (k1calcs).
- No changes in guardian (Fig.2).
- Changes in SDF tables shown in Fig.3-4 are related to this klog#34467, klog#34469 (k1calcs), and klog#34464 (k1calex, k1caley).
- No changes in the model (Fig.5).
Finally, I raised CFC_LACTCH and IFO guardian moved from CALIB_NOT_READY to READY.

We performed our usual WSK calibration at UToyama.
The results look no problem.

Front WSK, Back GSK | -0.911184 | 0.000188 |
Front GSK, Back WSK | -0.908968 | 0.000122 |
Comparing with previous results, no significant issues were found.
Attached graph is the result summary including the latest measured data.
We accepted the SDFs reported on klog34463.

With Shingo Hido, Hirotaka Yuzurihara
This afternoon, during the Pcal Tcam session, the EYA Tcam stopped and could not capture images. An error message was displayed on the screen: "An error occurred while capturing frame for ZWO ASI294MC."
As a countermeasure, "Recovery" and "Force" under the "Recovery" menu were executed, but a GRD timeout error occurred and recovery was unsuccessful.
After manually setting the GRD to "DOWN," executing "Recovery" - "Recovery" restored normal operation.
If the same error occurs in the future, setting the GRD to "DOWN" before attempting recovery may be an effective procedure.
Kimura and Furuyado (Shinkoh Denki)
In order to repair the insulation defects caused by rust in the distribution board PLX-129,
we confirmed the replacement procedure and the on-site situation.
(See attached photos.)
Based on the results of the check, a distribution board repair plan will be prepared and the repair will be implemented.
