Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters → cables → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/50(3)
1300 Tower temp @1.6K, 1K pot pressure ~1mbar, 1Kpot temp=6K, G1/G2=999/980mbar. MB=33.5%. Looks like 1K pot fell and things started to heat up around 0530.
Boiloff rate good, slow mode.
Close v13b and open v9 to recover to dump.
1305 Return Cf source to safe.
1328 With P2=600mbar, tweak 1K pot needle valve and open v13b, close v9 to try and condense again.
1331 1K pot pressure rises to 14mbar and 1K pot temp falls to 2.2K with g1/G2=380/360mbar.
1339 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1340 1K pot pressure fell to 7mbar, tweak it open a bit more.
1346 With G1/G2 at ~120mbar each, open v14 to let more mix into circulation. Close v14 once G2=400mbar.
1348 G1/G2 peak at 500mbar and are slowly falling. 1K pot=1.6K/15mbar, Tower=800mK.
1357 Commence LHe transfer (32.0%)
1411 G1/G2 ~90mbar, open v14 for a second, G1/G2 rise to 550mbar and start falling. Tower=1K.
1414 Open v14 until G1=500mbar.
1418 Open v14 until G1=500mbar.
1422 G1/G2=260mbar/240mbar. Open v14 until G1=500mbar.
1428 Tower/Coldplate=770/906 mK, Still=1.55K/110mbar, 1K Pot = 1.61 K / 110 ubar.
1437 Cease LHe transfer (90.2%)
1442 Open v14 until G1=500mbar. Tower=700mbar
1447 Leaving v14 open, G1/G2 top out at 360/340 mbar.
1450 Release MB pressure
1504 G1/G2 stable at 186/176 mbar. Closing v14. Tower temp=270mK and falling.
1529 Release MB pressure.
1530 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 41/46/212 mK, Still = 1.19 K / 110 μbar, G1/G2 = 151/144 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.62 K / 13.0 mbar. MB = 89.5%
1540 Tower=36mK
1541 Looks like all channels are railed. Gonna zap and then try to recover them.
1618 Managed to recover all but DIB1PD. It is not showing pulses and playing with QET bias doesn't seem to help.
1620 Tweak 1K pot needle valve. Settles at 24mbar.
1622 Tower temp stable at 32mK
1628 Start 15 one-hour data series of 0V data with Frontend Gain = 5/2/5, OG = 8/3/8, with 1000 beginning and ending randoms, with no flashing in between series, and a 40ADC bin threshold trigger on DIB1 pB
1629 1K pot = 19mbar. Give it a lil pop up to 36mbar.
1633 Pulses look good in batviewer, I'm outta here!
2201 Notice that both DIB1pD and DIB2pC are railed. The latter was ok at 18:00 but gone by 19:00
