0031 Bias charge channels of both detectors at -3V. Tower temperature 69.6mK.
0035 Start to take charge data 07110303_0035_F0001. Trigger on Qi OR Qo of both detectors with threshold 24 ADC bins (1.5mV)
0121 DAQ stopped at file 9
0140 Flash G8 on DCRC33, LED1, -0.6 mA, 100 μs ON, 2500 μs OFF.
Flash G9 on DCRC30, LED1, -0.6 mA, 100 μs ON, 2500 μs OFF.
Fill N2 cold trap full.
0250 Tried to reduce data, but files are corrupted… hope for better luck in the morning.
0934 Flash both detectors with the above settings 'overnight'. Temperature 465mK when flashing. Stop flashing.
1330 Fill N2 cold trap full.

1656 Need to zap G8 squids
1803 Found DCRC33 trigger didn't work because its reference still in slave mode.
1840 Poor modulation depth on G8 PB. Zap SQUIDs again. Wait for tower to cool.
2115 Helium liquid level 10.9%. Start LHe transfer.
2150 Stop LHe transfer. Liquid helium level 96.1%.
2322 Start to take data 07110303_2322_F0001
2327 The new version of daq sent by jeter was too slow. Switch to the 20110302_2 version to take data 07110303_2327_F0001.
The event rate was slow this time. And we could not see pulses on the display window. Take out the Ba source and the event rate didn't change. Then open the control vi to read out the detector settings and found the DCRC was reset. Later found the DCRC setting was not written to the configuration files correctly. Now need to retune everything.
2338 Stop the data taking and retune detector
