Previous Day

Setup: DIB 1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters 1/2/3 → cable 1/2/3 → gender changer 1/3/4 → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/X(4)
0919 Tower = 25.6 mK
0920 Sequence still running. Current series is -4/+4 V, started at 07170722_0845. Adjust DCRC1 q[0] trigger = 150.
0923 Adjust DCRC1 q[0] trigger = 200.
Triggering looked good on series 07170722_0719, but went back to the crazy triggering mode for 07170722_0845. I had turned on the SQUIDtuningGUI to look in on 07170722_0719, but it finished fine with normal triggering. Maybe having it open (though inactive) when 07170722_0845 started caused this? Closing the SQUIDtuningGUI during the run doesn't help. I'll let the sequence continue with the GUI closed and see if it starts working again on the next series.
1021 Indeed, the -5/5 V series that started at 1011 seems to be triggering properly (checked via batviewer). It seems batviewer can interfere with triggering somehow.
Reduce DCRC1 q[0] trigger = 100.
1029 Oops, maybe that was too low, triggering on noise. Raise DCRC1 q[0] trigger = 200.
1032 That looks better (dump 19), leave it at 200 for the remainder
1258 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1300 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 25.2/28.0/177 mK, Still = 1.13 K / 0.060 mbar, G1/G2 = 165/161 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.71 K / 34 mbar. MB = 23.6% (predicted level: 28.9%)
1330 Start LHe transfer (MB = 23.4%)
1430 End LHe transfer (MB = 93.3%)
1450 Release pressure from MB.
