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
PuBe source in paraffin barrel behind shield (west side)
Na-22 source hanging along southeast column of fridge stand
Took NaI-triggered data overnight @50V. Last series started at 00:26. Data looks ok.
0915 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 32.9/29.4/193 mK, Still = 1.25 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 220/210 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.684 K / 26.0 mbar. Main Bath = 64.7%.
0915 HV = 51.38 V, Vtest = 2.59 mV → Vdetector = 50.33 V
0925 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
0930 Dial HV down to zero. Then short the leads.
1005 Begin 60 minute bake with DCRCs 1&2
1030 Remove PuBe source from the lab, return to 4th floor storage.
1340 While setting up for IbIs on DCRC2 noticed that again there seems to be the problem that the driver gain settings aren't working correctly for a RevC board. Simply shutting down the DAQ programs then restarting them seems to have fixed it.
1410 Finish IbIs on DCRC2pB/DIB3pC/Side1pA
1430 Having trouble with DCRC2pC. Seems to be in a strange state where it won't go into transition (no pulses) and needs large driver offset. Turn off DAQ programs then power cycle DCRC2.
1440 Zap SQUIDs on DCRC2
1510 DCRC2pC still seemed messed up after the zap. Tried pushing in on the cable connectors - that seems to have fixed it.
1540 Finish IbIs on DCRC2pC/DIB4pC/Side1pC
1615 Finish IbIs on DCRC2pD/DIB4pD/Side1pF
1700 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
