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.
1100 Fill LN2 Cold trap full.
Tower/MC/Coldplate = 40/47/162 mK, Still = 1.38 K / 55 μbar, G1/G2 = 168/151 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.46 K / 2.4 mbar, MB = 41.7%. Tweak 1K Pot.
1122 Commence LHe transfer (40.8%)
1129 1K Pot = 1.66 K/ 22 mbar.
1130 Tried viewing pulses but programs kept crashing because DIB1 telnet had disconnected. Power cycled DCRC55 (DIB1) and re-established telnet session. All DIB1 phonons railed. Accidentally closed VNC viewer, unable to restart as it's on David's account and don't feel like setting up another right now.
1200 Cease LHe transfer (92.0%)
1K Pot = 1.60 K/ 12 mbar.
1205 Release main bath pressure 5 min after transfer
1254 Tweak 1K Pot = 7.5 mbar
Release main bath pressure 55 min after fill
1300 1K Pot = 1.68 K/ 32 mbar and falling slowly. Hopefully it'll settle in a good place tonight.
