previous day

Current setup: iZIP mode, DIB1/2/3 → cables → 3.2 MHz filters → DCRC55/33/50.
Overnight: DCRCs off. Cf source near detector for activation
0930 Tower/MC(H35)/MC sensor/Cold Plate = 30.6/24.0/46.7/139 mK, Still = 1.17 K / 0.10 mbar, G1/G2 = 165/135 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.72 K / 22 mbar, Main bath = 67.2%
With the DCRCs off, Still Temperature and Cold Plate Temperature are reading lower than before. But still pressure is the same - so maybe DCRCs are causing some interference that's causing the Fridge Out 1 cable's thermometers to read high? Meanwhile MC Sensor Temperature (also Fridge Out 1) is higher than recent readings. Something confusing going on.
0930 Fill LN cold trap Dewar
1310 Repower DCRCs for some MIDAS tests
1600 Try zapping SQUIDs using MIDAS tool (http://jiajin.spa.umn.edu:8081/ → DCRC_UI → Tools → make sure zap settings are correct → ZAP)
1605 MIDAS ZAP didn't work because it didn't like my zap on/off settings of 2 and 30 - it requires 2.01 and 29.99.
1610 Try MIDAS ZAP again
1615 MIDAS ZAP failed again - no temperature change or still pressure change, so I assume it didn't work. Stop MIDAS, back to LabVIEW
1625 Zap all the SQUIDs
1630 Set up timing link
1650 All channels set to standard settings, front end gain 5/2/5 output gain setting 3. No noticeable low frequency noise patterns.
1700 choose phonon thresholds:
Phonon Thresholds
pA pB pC pD
DIB 1 40 50 45 45
DIB 2 35 35 35 35
DIB 3 45 55 55 50

DIB 1 pB threshold increased compared to the 25th

1712 Start bkg data, -4/+4V, 20 series. Used DAQDAQ, just hit the start button, everything seems to be set up. After randoms trigger rate around 14, nothing seems railed.
Disk i: getting full, should delete copied data before taking more.
1720 Fill LN cold trap Dewar
