Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters → cables1/2/3 → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/50(3)
0840 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.4/34.7/237 mK, Still = 1.4 K / 110 μbar, G1/G2 = 194/171 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.70 K / 30 mbar. MB = 65.7%.
0840 Fill LN2 coldtrap full.
0948 Trying to bring DCRC1 PhB,C,D back by snapping, got all the DCRC1 channels back, PhC needed a shift in QET bias up to 192uA in order to get away from oscillation (about 10kHz). Note I have not ZAPPED after power cycle but the pulses seem to be pretty good, I'll try not doing it.
1100 I hacked the trigger code so that DCRC1 will not issue any triggers this is because the hardware was issuing spurious triggers
1107 Start sequence of 6 one-hour data series of 0V data with Frontend Gain = 5/2/5, OG = 8/3/8, with 2000 beginning randoms (because of increased pileup from higher source rate), with no flashing in between series, triggered with NaI coincidence setup (front-to-back coincidence) using DCRCX (DCRC4) PhA, with DCRC1 triggers disabled.
1124 started coincidence hardware counter
1642 Fill LN2 coldtrap full.
1700 return 88Y source to safe
1728 Setting up overnight running, trigger on DIB3 PhD because that is PFS1, Use same trigger threshold as before, 70 samples
1736 for some reason pulses are railed but they seem to be fine throughout the last series of the day 07161121_1608
1817 Start sequence of 15 one-hour data series of 0V data with Frontend Gain = 5/2/5, OG = 8/3/8, with 1000 beginning randoms (because of increased pileup from higher source rate), with no flashing in between series, trigger on PhD of DCRC3 (PFS1) at 70 samples
