1319 Flip LED switch SW2 on DCRC33 to '7B' side to switch the polarity.
1326 Stop flashing DCRCv1 G9 flashing.
1329 Plug DCRC33 to G9
1332 Flashing still didn't work
1337 Flip SW2 to dot side and both SW1 and SW3 to '7B' side on DCRC33
1340 Put it back on G9, flashing still didn't work
Flip SW2 to '7B' side again
0X30 Bit 4, 0 is free run and 1 is single step
DCRCv3, G9, LED1, -0.4mA, 100us on, 2500us off, temperature went up to 3K when flashing continuously. It is different from DCRC v1.
1404 Tried LED 2 with the same settings. LED 2 had the same behaviour.
It seemed the LED driver output too much power.
1454 Switch to the old firmware and try the flashing function
The old firmware did the same. Switch to the new one again.
1654 Fill N2 cold trap full.
1741 Try the zap vi
1751 'zap all' produced a temperature spike from 60mK to 70mK. Zapping function worked.
1757 'zap A' worked
1824 Transferred liquid He.
'zap c' and 'zap d' worked after a correction to a typo.
Can not get charge signals on DCRC v3. The phonon signals are also small. The brass screws do make sqA and sqD work better, comparable to B and C.
2305 Bake G8 with DCRC v1, 400uA, 100us on, 2500us off. Tower temperature went up to 830mK.
