1130 Filled LN2 coldtrap full.
1800 Begin LHe transfer (17.0%).
1835 Cease helium transfer. Helium liquid level 90.7 %.
2110 Start overnight flash of detector, exposing it to radiation from Ba-133 source: LED 1 on DIB 1 and LEDs 1 & 2 on DIB 2; current 0.6 mA; flash-on time 0.1 ms; flash-off time 5 ms. Use DAQ vi rather than DetectorControl vi to flash detector. After 14 hours, automated flash should stop and cryostat should cool for 2 hours before a small 5 minute 0 V bias data series is acquired. This will be followed by a 6 s flash and 20 minute cooldown to investigate the mixing chamber temperature reached. Mixing chamber temperature before flash is 76 mK.
