    • There are many computers/workstations in Kamioka site or Kamioka control room.
    • Workstations (k1ctr*) use common conda environment by mounting the file server.

    • In DetChar computers k1{sum,det}[01], conda environment should be unified all DetChar resources, similar to workstations.

    • To prevent the trouble that DetChar experts might break the environment, the conda environments will be set as read-only permission.

    • Installation will be done by Kamioka members. After that, we need volunteers to test the DetChar tools on new conda environment.

    • what is the time line?
      • Installation will finished before the end of March. From April, the test will start. Volunteers are helpful.
  • DQ flags for O4

    • In last PEM meeting, Yuzurihara presented the current status and received the helpful comments. [slide](https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=13970)

    • We will change our plan to construct the data quality flag and will compute the BLRMS of gwpy to set the threshold.
    • The review is necessary before O4. (probably very close to O4, because we need ER)
  • DQR update
    • no update
  • Commissioning of GreenX
    • In the last weekend, the commissioner tried continuous GreenX. During that trials, they found many short term lock loss (~10 ms). 10 ms is too short to follow the suspension motion, so it is likely that there are some causes of the lock loss except for the suspension motion.

    • The commissioner needs helps DetChar members to identify the cause or give a hint of the cause.

    • For details, see klog#19963 klog#19983

    • we plan to unify the environment by using igwn conda
    • detail will be reported in next meeting
    • (Darkhan) conda environment on k1ctr*. someone accidentally update someone's conda environment. administrator should prepare the conda environment?
    • (YamaT) k1ctr* share the environment. this activity is not related to k1ctr* but k1sum[01], k1det[012]. we should separate the user environment and the environment for the DET tools
    • (Darkhan) should avoid accidental mistake.
