0000 Start autorun data series: hour-long; -2.5 V DIB1, +2.5 V DIB2; trace length 409.6 ns; trigger delay 100 μs; phonon channels locked but no QET bias set; charge-only.
0911 Found an labview error occurred at 05:27 in the morning and the DAQ was stopped at 07110512_0443_F0008. Tower temperature 53.4mK.

1410 Fill N2 cold trap full.
Data series taken overnight: 07110511_2353; 07110512_0105; 07110512_0218; 07110512_0330; 07110512_0443 (incomplete).

Looking for Neutralisation

Mean = 0.000517 ± 0.000044 (8.5%)
Standard deviation = 0.000098 (19% of mean)

2025 Start flashing detector. Both LEDs on both DIBs on: 0.6 mA curent; 100 μs on; 2.5 ms off.
Bring out Ba-133 source and place as close as possible to detector. This should help with baking.
2045 Fridge is getting a little warm. Tower temperature is above 1 K. Stop flashing detector and increase LED off time to 5 ms. Commence flashing detector again.
2050 Tower temperature has fallen to around 700 mK and seems to have stabilised. Looks good.
