0007 Created DCRC setting files
0058 Created +-2, +-4, +-6V bias DAQ setting files.
0104 Load the DAQ setting files to make sure they will work. Checked the trigger setting file
0114 Cleaned some disk space on the DAQ computer.
0115 Start taking data 07120726_0115_F0001. DIB1/DCRC33=-2V, DIB2/DCRC32=+2V. Trace length 3.2768ms. Pre-trigger 400us. Trigger on 12 phonon channels at 20 ADC bins. Data/flash/cooldown = 2hour/6s/20min. Will take DIB1/2=+/-2V, -/+4V, +/-4V, -/+6V, +/-6V. With Ba-133 source. MC T=62.4mK.
1015 Fed Cricket 3 pellets.
1027 Filled LN2 cold trap.
1553 Data finished. The flashing after data taking didn't seem to work judging by the temperature.
1601 Tried the flashing function again. The temperature didn't change.
1625 Begin LHe transfer (21.5%).
1739 Begin LHe transfer (94.4%).
1748 Fed Cricket 4 pellets.
1907 Found the LED flashing current should be -0.6mA instead of 0.6m A. The flashing worked after the change. Temperature went up about 130mK while flashing. The data taken from Monday are not flashed between series.
2012-07-28 1916 Checked all the DAQ setting files used during last weekend. The LED current polarities are not correct. There wasn't flashing between data series in the auto run mode.

<note important> The data taken from Monday are not flashed between series. </note>

1917 Filled N2 cold trap with the N2 left in the 5L dewar. Not full but close.
2000 Needs ~50min to cool down after full flashing. The computer time is off by half an hour.
2042 Tried fixing the windows time off. Hopefully it'll work.
2051 Flash detector for 6s and see how long it takes to cool down.
2129 6min cool down for 6s flashing seems enough. The tower temperature could be different though.
2132 Will flash 60min then cool down 80min and then take the same data as yesterday.
2153 MC temperature plateaued at 224mK while flashing.
Raw pulses for 07120726_0115 and 07120726_0338
  • The data series that didn't have proper flashing seem to have trouble processing correctly as well. Series 0115 aren't producing ROOT files at all, and the rest of that data sequence has only very small files produced
  • The ouput files from condor read the following error:

0 events out of 500 selected as noise for detector 3

NoiseBuilder::CalcNoiseQuantities WARNING! AveragePSD is zero. No noise pulses were found for detector 3 channel QI did you set the proper cut values?

  • The figures below show that no noise data was collected for zip 3 (DCRC 31)
