| | Overnight status: taking background data. |
| 0900 | Tower/MC(H35)/MC sensor/Cold Plate = 31.1/25.6/40.6/159 mK, Still = 1.36 K / 0.11 mbar, G1/G2 = 205/185 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.72 K / 22 mbar, Main bath = 49.3% |
| | Readings above taken just before a series (final one probably) started |
| 0905 | Fill LN2 cold trap full. |
| 1010 | 250Hz sinusoidal noise no longer appears on phonon channels. May have gone away during the night. |
| 1025 | Putting Ba source on back of fridge inside topmost part of shield. |
| 1029 | Set phonon thresholds to values from 2015/10/02. Move DCRCs closer together back to their original positions. Start 5 cycles of 15min series of Ba data at -/+4V, FG=5/2/5, OG=3, with 1000 initial randoms, 2000 events/file, 30s flashing and 30min cooldown in between. |
| 1503 | Put Ba source back in safe. |
| 1521 | Commence LHe transfer (38%) |
| 1642 | Cease LHe transfer (93.1%) |
| 1653 | Start background data 50 cycles of 15min series at -/+2V, FG=5/2/5, OG=3, with 1000 initial randoms, 2000 events/file, 30s flashing and 30min cooldown in between. |
| 1655 | Move DCRCs farther apart while the data's being taken. This caused DIB1 pB to rail, so stop data and relock channel. |
| 1709 | Cannot bring channel DIB1 pB back. It began doing that jagged noise thing, where it looks like it's been driven normal . Try viewing the modulation curve, but cannot get test signal to show up on that channel. Can't get one to show up on pA either, so maybe the board's just a lost cause. Power cycle. |
| 1735 | After repowering DCRC55, channel B is back, but it's got huge spikes at approximately 83Hz. |
| 1740 | Fill LN2 cold trap full. |
| 1745 | The spikes on DIB1 pB change into a full fledged test signal triangle wave of 83Hz. It won't go away. Unpower board. |
| 1750 | Place Cf source inside shield near detector for overnight activation. |
| 1800 | Repower DCRC55. |
