| 0911 | MC temperature 5.26K. IVC P=4.6E-7cc/s. Most of the exchange gas is out. Start condensing mixture. |
| | Open the ball valve on the line connecting the 1K pot exhaust and He recovery line |
| | Switch 1K pot pump exhaust to “He recovery” |
| | Open 1K pot needle valve ~1/4 turn |
| | Fully open 1K pot speedivalve |
| | Adjust 1K pot needle value to set temperature ~1.7K |
| | Start condensing from the OI labview program |
| 0943 | Auto condensing vi closes V9 too early. Need to change the settings. Can open and close V14 and wathc the pressure on G1 to condense the mixture in the dump. |
| 1026 | Start circulation of mixture. |
| 1108 | A power glitch happened. All pumps off and IGH was restarted. The circulation was interrupted. IGH was locked to local and V6 and 1K pot needle valves are blinking. I can not operate anything. |
| 1113 | Circulation was restarted manually |
| 1123 | Fill N2 cold trap full |
| 1125 | Adjust 1K pot to 1.5K |
| 1605 | Tower temperature 68 mK; should be low enough to take data from G8. |
| | Tower temperature rose to 72 mK after ethernet cable and ground were plugged into DCRCv3 board 30 on stripline 20. Decreased to 68 mK within a couple of minutes. |
| 1709 | Tried flash the LEDs using DCRCv3 but tower temperature only went up to 79mK. Using DCRC v1 to check if the LEDs were working. |
| | Set DCRCv1: 1) G/W 131.225.53.1, 2) Subnet mask 255.255.0.0, 4) IP 131.225.53.4 |
| | Flash LED 1 on G9 with 400uA, on 100us, off 2500us, tower temperature went up to 830mK. It was ~500mK in the past runs |
| | Switch to G8 LED1, temperature went up to ~810mK. |
| | The higher tower temperature may be caused by a weaker thermal link between detector and the MC due to the source holder housing. |
| 2031 | Could not make LED flashing work on DCRCv3. Use DCRCv1 to flash LED1 of G9: 400uA, ON100us, OFF2500us. Tower temperature went up to 850mK. |
