Previous Day

Current setup: iZIP mode, DIB1/2/3 → cables → 3.2 MHz filters → DCRC55/33/50.
Overnight: Taking background data. DAQ locked up at 17:52 last night. Tower temp looks fine.
0940 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1100 Port 1 still connected on DIB3 (DCRC50). This would explain the error we saw, though why the port didn't disconnect properly is a mystery, granted a mystery we run into semi-frequently. Since we got the error, we've been charge biased, so set Qbias to zero and flash for 30s.
1155 Start 1 cycle of 30min runs of background data at +/-1V, -/+1V, +/-3V, -/+3V, FG=5/2/5, OG=3, 1000 initial randoms, 2000 events/file, 30s flash and 25min cooldown after. Using Wednesday's thresholds. Want to take 2 cycles total, but also want to take 2 cycles of Ba data, which will be overnight, so will take remaining 1 cycle of background data tomorrow morning.
1550 Start LHe transfer (36.2%).
1622 Cease LHe transfer (90.8%).
1637 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1720 Place Ba source at back of fridge at topmost part of shield. Set phonon thresholds to Ba data levels from 2015/10/28:
A B C D
DIB1 56 60 62 60
DIB2 44 38 40 48
DIB3 60 66 78 68
1722 Start 2 cycles of 30min runs of Ba data at +/-1V, -/+1V, +/-3V, -/+3V, FG=5/2/5, OG=3, 1000 initial randoms, 2000 events/file, 30s flash and 25min cooldown after.
