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
Took 0-volt data overnight, looks pretty good. Let's take some more. Only thing I'd change is maybe lower the threshold, every pulse looked quite strong.
0803 Adjust trigger threshold on DCRC1 pA down from 35 to 30. Turns out data sequence is still in progress. 40 minutes left.
0850 Start sequence of 24, 1-hour data series of 1-sided 0V HV data with Frontend Gain = (20/20/20)/(-/4/3), OG = 4/2, with 1000 beginning randoms, no flashing, and a 30ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC1 pA
this will continue through today's transfer, so we'll probably want to cut out some data when we analyze it.
1055 Adjust trigger threshold on DCRC1 pA down from 30 to 25, because it still looks kind of high from data, all traces have strong pulses.
note there is about a 2 hour delay for data to arrive in the raw data “byseries” directory. It used to be a lot quicker. This is somewhat inconvenient.
1400 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.2/30.7/191 mK, Still = 1.2 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 256/216 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.688 K / 28 mbar, Main bath = 26.4%. Boil off rate: faster than slow mode (predicted level: 29.9%).
1400 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1415 Start LHe transfer (MB = 26.1%)
1520 End LHe transfer (MB = 92.5%)
