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
0913 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.6/31.0/189 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 258/231 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.691 K / 28 mbar, Main bath = 34.0%. Boil off rate: faster than slow mode (predicted level: 36.9%).
0926 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1121 Flash detector for 30s.
1153 Tower temp = 33.8 mK.
Start 30 min 0V HV long trace random data set with 26.2144ms trace length, 20Hz in-run randoms with no starting/ending randoms.
1156 Abort data taking, DIB2 PC railed.
1158 Start 30 min 0V HV long trace random data set with 26.2144ms trace length, 20Hz in-run randoms with no starting/ending randoms. Observe baseline while data is taking.
Crystal = 0 V
Channel Baseline (V)
DIB1 PA -0.7208
DIB1 PB -0.6364
DIB1 PC -0.4585
DIB2 PC -0.7732
DIB2 PD -0.7409
1315 Flash detector for 30s.
1320 Start LHe transfer (MB = 27.5%)
1426 Finish LHe transfer (MB = 92.2%)
1254 Tower temp = 33.2mK
1256 Relocked SQUIDs on DCRC2 PC. DCRC1 PA remained railed after re-lock, changed driver offset from -0.15 to 0.1
Crystal = 0 V
Channel Baseline (V)
DIB1 PA -0.2699
DIB1 PB -0.635
DIB1 PC -0.5127
DIB2 PC -0.8348
DIB2 PD -0.7809
1503 Set HV = 30V
1504 DCRC2 PC, PD are railed. Re-locking SQUIDs returns them.
1508 Start 30 min 30V HV long trace random data set with 26.2144ms trace length, 20Hz in-run randoms with no starting/ending randoms. Observe baseline while data is taking.
1510 HV = 30 V, V_leak=1.8 mV, V_crystal = 29.2 V
Crystal = 29.2 V
Channel Baseline (V)
DIB1 PA -0.3013
DIB1 PB -0.6014
DIB1 PC -0.4577
DIB2 PC -0.7819
DIB2 PD -0.7413
1550 HV = 30 V, V_leak=1.0 mV, V_crystal = 29.6 V
1552 Looks like the MIDAS browser crashed. SQUID tuning gui is still working and indicates that the run is still going.
1556 Use “kill_daq_umn” and “start_daq_umn” to restart. When MIDAS started up again, the run and sequencer were still going, but the sequencer immediately continued to the “TRANSITION STOP” line and ended the run apparently smoothly?
1559 Ground and flash detector
1731 Fill LN2 cold trap.
