Set the above settings and Frontend Gain = 0, Output Gain = 1, Feedback Null = 0, Driver Offset = 0, Openloop, and Preamp on all channels as the Preset 1.

There is a 1.5 kOhm resistor in the SQUID bias line. A 9 V battery can only supply 6 mA current at most. Zapping using the battery had no effect. Zapping A using DCRC only changed MC temperature from 39.2 mK to 56 mK. Battery output much more power but the results were worse than that of DCRC.
