Any significant excess was not found in the strain.
Also, no significant excess was found at 1-10 Hz in the QPD, but (almost) due to the harmonics of the shaker vibration itself, some overestimated projections are found over 10 Hz.

A 40 Hz peak was excited in the strain during the 50 Hz and 25 Hz injections.
Is it an accidental glitch? or a real coupling?

I checked the SDF diffs found in this morning and partially accepted. Since I could not identified the remaining changes are what we expected, I left them as they are.
k1vissrm (fig1):
Due to the bug of VIS guardian reported in klog35492, the OPTICLIGN_OIFFSET values are changed if suspensions go to TRIPPED state from MISALIGNED state. Since the SRM was once tripped during PEM injection according to klog35685, these changes probably happen accidentially. So, I reverted these changes.
k1visommt1 (fig2):
Since there are mysteris on these SDF diffs, I kept them as they are. Since SDF values accepted in klog35716 are somehow different the EIPCS values at that timing (fig3), we would like to know the procedure of the accepting SDFs to confirm where is the problem. Are SDFs accepted with the procedure written in JGW-G2516706-v6?
k1alspll (fig4):
These changes are related to the work reported in klog35679 and its reply posts. According to klog35680, K1:IMC-SERVO_FASTGAIN was changed but this is typo. The actual channel changed in klog35680 is K1:CARM-SERVO_FASTGAIN (I confirmed it from Tanaka-kun). So, these changes are what we expected, so I accepted these SDFs.

Print this reportComment to Strange vacuum pressure data; investigating the behavior of TMS-VIS during pumping down (35607)
After the original and its following posts, the TMS-VIS at X end behavoirs during pumping down and with respect to temperature variation were extracted.
Fig. 1 shows the behavoir during pumping down; the largest displacement was in the vertical direction, ~ -20 um. This is consistent with the anticipated buoyancy lost. The average density of the TMS-VIS is the same order with that of the OMC-VIS in design, so the similar vertical displacement will happen also for OMC-VIS during pumping down. Pitch and roll seem a few urad, and this may suggest that the variation of Young modulus among each blade spring might be around or less than 10%.
Fig. 2 (um and urad) shows the behavoir with respect to temperature variation. Uraguchi-san had reported already, in air measurement, the ratio was ~ 20 um/K in the vertical direction, and this figure also supported this estimation is correct in vacuum. This is consistent with the anticipated ratio from the maraging's Young modulus variation ratio with respect to temperature (dE/dT). According to my analysis, if the vertical resonant frequency is the same, and on the earth, dE/dT is the only parameter that determine this ratio, so the same ratio is expected also for OMC-VIS. So, if the center area where OMC-VIS will be located will be stabilized in temperature like in Fig. 2, only a few um variation would happen. In fact, looking at Fig. 1, it appears that the temperature variation affects the displacement in every direction. Pumping down needs to turn on some pumps, so the temperature of X end might raise. To inspect the relation more, it may be nice to have more precisely measurable thermometers....
Due to the suspending structure of TMS-VIS (and OMC-VIS), yaw is coupled with vertical. But this ~ 10 urad thing can be or should be compensated by each suspended optics, including OMMT1, OMMT2, OSTM, and the others.
In summary, if we can well succeed to take balance of optics on OMC-VIS before pumping down, it would be sufficient. It may be nice to attach some heaters and thermometers if possible, but not must.

[Kimura. Yasui, M.Takahashi and H.Sawada] M. Takahashi-san and H. Sawada-san found during their weekly inspection that the TMP for X-end #37 had stopped. After receiving their report, I confirmed the situation on-site. The #37 TMP had stopped, displaying “DRV Overload”. The cause of the stoppage was overload due to the dry pump connected to the TMP stopping. The dry pump for #37 displayed an “ES1.4” error. (The upstream gate valve of the TMP was closed, so no vacuum leak occurred due to this failure.) This error indicates a “ground fault,” suggesting a failure in the inverter circuit controlling the motor. As a temporary action, the main breakers for the TMP and dry pump were turned OFF, and a “Do Not Operate” sign was posted. To determine the exact time the dry pump failure occurred, the TMP error log was checked. The internal timer recorded the TMP error occurrence time as November 24, 2025, at 12:51. The TMP internal clock was delayed by 1 hour and 10 minutes relative to actual time. Therefore: TMP shutdown time: November 24, 2025, at 14:01 Estimated time of dry pump failure: November 24, 2025, 13:31 This failure is estimated to be unrelated to the earthquake that occurred around 18:53.
Note (Manual Explanation): “DRV Overload”: Motor Driver Overload If the TMP fails to reach its rated rotational speed within approximately 30 minutes after startup, or if it remains in an accelerated state for approximately 30 minutes during operation, the TMP will decelerate and stop.

With Shingo Hido
While driving near the 2500 m area of the Y-arm on November 27, we found small fragments of what appeared to be mortar scattered on the floor. We mistakenly thought this was the issue reported in klog35666, so we did not take any photos at the time. However, klog35666 refers to the X-arm, so it is unrelated to what we found on November 27. Additional inspection is likely needed.
As I checked quickly, the calcenter01 seems to be rebooted on 2025-11-26 10:53:22 JST (I used `uptime -s`). I wonder the daemon process for the fitting was turned off at that time.
And also, I found the disc space (/dev/sdd1) of calceneter01 seems to be full. I'm not sure if this is a trigger of rebooting. Note that the images which consume a large ammount of disc space are stored in the different disc of /dev/sdc1.
