Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters 3/1/2 → cable 3/1/2 →gender changer 3/1/2 → HVConn 1/3/2 → HV 1/2 → DCRC55/DCRC33
Overnight baking stable at 475 mK, ended at 0544
0903 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.7/30.8/197 mK, Still = 1.28 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 237/224 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.692 K / 30 mbar, Main bath = 67.7%. Boil off rate: a bit faster than slow mode.
0910 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
0912 The 0V data taken yesterday looks to have had too low of a trigger (PA=25ADC) Let's try to find a good trigger level that doesn't get too much noise.
0916 Start data series of 1-sided 0V data with Frontend Gain = table, OG = 8/4, with 1000 beginning and ending randoms, with no flashing, and a 30ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC1 pA
0930 Cease data series. Data still looks to be more than 50% noise traces.
0931 Start data series of 1-sided 0V data with Frontend Gain = table, OG = 8/4, with 1000 beginning and ending randoms, with no flashing, and a 35ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC1 pA. Channels rail in dump 61, event 611398
0949 Trigger looks better now, getting ~25% noise traces. Let's let this run for an hour or two.
1146 Stop data taking.
1151 Start data series of 1-sided 0V data with Frontend Gain = table, OG = 8/4, with 1000 beginning and ending randoms, with no flashing, and a 35ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC1 pA | ^ 1355 | Stop data taking. All channels railed.
1414 All channels except DCRC1 PC are railed, will have to look in data to see when that happened. [image not archived: doubt2.svg]
1420 DCRC2 PC/PD dominated by 400/150 kHz oscillation, lower FE gains to 4/3.
1448 Perform micro IbIs.
1450 Begin HV pre-biasing test using DCRC1 PA FE Gain/Driver Gain/QET bias = 20/8/127
1453 Begin dialing up HV

1512 Might as well take some data while we're here. Start data series of 50V HV data with Frontend Gain = (20/20/5)/(6/4/3), OG = 8/4, with 1000 beginning and ending randoms, and a 35ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC1 pA

1700 End data taking. Turn down HV.
1703 Start 12 hour bake.
1704 Tweak 1K pot needle valve
1719 Tower seems stable at 490 mK
