0056 Taking data 07120217_0056_F0001. Q1-3 at -10V, Q4 at 0V; trigger on Q1-3 at 40 ADC bin. will take 2 series. Data/flash/cooldown = 30/0.1/20 min. Temperature 77.6mK.
Will take Q1-3 at -6V, +6V, +10V; Q4 at 0V data with same settings after the above data.
Will take Q1-4 at +10V; trigger on Q1-3 at 40ADC bin; 3 hour long run after the above data.
0856 Filled LN2 cold trap.
0940 DAQ error occurred after 4 series. +6V data wasn't taken yet.

Data taken before the DAQ error

# Am241 & Ba133 all below
#  Q1-3 at -10V, Q4 at 0V; trigger on Q1-3 at 40 ADC bin; Data/flash/cooldown = 30/0.1/20 min.

0948 Found the two DCRC's were not synchronized. I'm not sure if the data taken last night have this problem. This may happen in the middle of a run and have caused the DAQ error. Need to check the data.
Set high trigger threshold on both boards and they look synchronized.
0951 Taking 07120217_0951_F0001, +6V Ba-133 data with Q4 at 0V and trigger at Q1-3 at 40ADC bin
Q4 pulses have both polarities. This will take much longer to process.
1144 DAQ error occurred again after +6V data.

1149 Rechecked synchronization, OK.
1151 Taking +10V data.
1437 07120217_1336_F0011. Temperature rose up to 83mK between 13:48 and 14:12

1932 Filled N2 cold trap.
2234 Checked timing link: OK.
2247 Taking data 07120217_2247_F0001. -7V Am-241 2 hour long run. Trigger on Q1-4 at 40 ADC bin. 1 series. Tower temperature 79.2mK.
Will take 0V data/flash/cooldown = 120/0.1/20 min data right after the above series with out flashing.
+7V 120 min; 0V data/flash/cooldown = 120/0.1/20 min.
-10V 120 min; 0V data/flash/cooldown = 120/0.1/20 min.
+10V 120 min; 0V data/flash/cooldown = 120/0.1/20 min.
To-Do list as of today's DMC meeting
  • Bias detector for 2 hours, then take 0V data
  • Absolute calibration based on feedback capacitor
  • Take data at temperatures 400 mK and above, if possible
  • Take +7V, +10V with Am-241 only
  • Electrical check with the interface boards (Vuk's suggestion)
