Previous Day

Setup: iZIP mode, DIB1/2/3 → cables → 3.2 MHz filters → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/50(3), Tower has been cooled below Al transition with mu-metal shield at standard position
DCRCs powered overnight. Pumping on IVC with turbo pump overnight.
1225 Fill LN2 Cold trap full.
Tower/MC/Coldplate = 39/34/159 mK, Still = 102 mK / 550 μbar, G1/G2 = 168/152 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.453 K / 2.2 mbar, MB = 72.1%. Tweak 1K Pot.
Boiloff rate: nice and slow. 5 min and 30 min pressure releases yesterday worked well
1240 After several minutes the 1K Pot has settled to 1.766 K/ 120 mbar though still slowly dropping. Should be okay overnight I hope.
