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
Taking 20V data overnight
0900 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.7/31.2/191 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.120 mbar, G1/G2 = 245/220 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.700 K / 32 mbar, Main bath = 69.6%. Boil off rate: close to slow mode (predicted rate: 71.7%)
0905 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
0905 HV = 20.00 V, Vtest = 0.7 mV → Vdetector = 19.7 V
1027 HV = 20.00 V, Vtest = 0.5 mV → Vdetector = 19.8 V
1029 MIDAS web interface is down. Use start_daq_umn to restart it. Upon restarting, the sequencer is still running. Looking at the raw data, it appears that the crash happened sometime after 2109 last night and the run just continued taking data and placing dumps into the same folder. This resulted in almost 800 dumps in the 07170406_2109 raw directory. Stop the run and the sequencer manually.
1040 Begin IbIs measurements.
1420 Dial HV down to 0 V
1640 Finish full IbIs in both positive and negative biases for DCRC1pA/DIB1pA/Side1pE. There seems to be an offset in the QET bias 0.
Looks like the true 0 for the QET bias is a setting of -5.9 uA.
1714 Fill LN2 cold trap.
