2335 We've spent the last few hours encasing the interface boards in copper sheets and aluminium foil in an effort to reduce noise. We also shorted the ground pin on the DCRC boards to the ebox. It appears to have helped a bit.
Took some data at 0 V bias (07120207_2335). Random trigger rate started at 6 Hz, rose to 10 Hz, and then fell to around 1 Hz after about 400 events.
Tower temperature is still rather higher (about 10 mK) than that without interface boards. Tower temperature currently just shy of 86 mK, holding steady.
