previous day

Current setup: iZIP mode, DIB1/2/3 → cables → 3.2 MHz filters → DCRC55/33/50.
Overnight: taking data, no external source.
0900 Tower/MC(H35)/MC sensor/Cold Plate = 31.1/25.4/40.0/153 mK, Still = 1.28 K / 0.11 mbar, G1/G2 = 175/148 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.72 K / 22 mbar, Main bath = 35.7%
Above readings taken while DAQ was taking data.
0905 Fill LN cold trap Dewar
1330 After some MIDAS tests, some channels are railed and there's some pretty bad ~250Hz noise, ~10mVpp. Unpower DCRCs.
1400 After setting up again still seeing the noise. Let it sit.
1420 Noise still there. Unpower DCRCs.
1545 Commence LHe transfer (19.9%).
1600 Tower temperature has dropped to 30.2mK. Start up boards again. Noise appears to be gone.
1640 Set phonon thresholds as yesterday. DIB2 is triggering only on high-saturated pulses. Wait till transfer finishes to see if it passes.
1710 Cease LHe transfer (91.0%).
1725 250Hz noise is back and better than ever. Unpower boards and let sit overnight.
1745 Place Cf inside shield near detector for overnight activation.
1750 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
