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)
0853 Tower = 26.2 mK, Still = 0.060 mbar, G1/G2 = 142/129 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.68 K / 26 mbar. MB = 67.4%
0854 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1030 Ship G114 to SLAC. Used the same packaging that G132 came in - plastic box with a lot of cushioning, shipped standard.
1059 Start complex impedance frequency scan sequence on DIB1 PA,PC with signal amplitude = 6mVpp (DDSDACScaling = 8), Frontend Gain = (15/2)/(4/4)/(5/5/5/5), OG = 4/2/4, QET biases = 0V setting from 2017/07/25, Charge biases are DCRC1/2 (Side2/1) = 0/0 V, taking 10 seconds of data with 3 sec pauses after each settings change.
Dumps initially saved as midasraw/livedata/Fscan_[frequency].msl Move them to a new series: midasraw/byseries/07170807_2500/
1106 Tower = 26.1 mK
1114 Start complex impedance frequency scan sequence on DIB1 PA,PC with signal amplitude = 6mVpp (DDSDACScaling = 8), Frontend Gain = (15/2)/(4/4)/(5/5/5/5), OG = 4/2/4, QET biases = DCRC1 PA/PC=48/56 uA (between standard 0V settings and bottom of transition), Charge biases are DCRC1/2 (Side2/1) = 0/0 V, taking 10 seconds of data with 3 sec pauses after each settings change.

1116 Tower = 25.9 mK
1237 Tower = 25.5 mK
1238 Forgot to set longer trace lengths for above freq scans. Redo them with DCRC1 phonon trace lengths = 10ms

1335 About to take some automated IbIs. Set biases to DCRC1/2 = +2/-2 V. Found that DCRC2 was not ground - it had been left at -2 V since who knows when.
1340 Start QET bias scan (IbIs) sequence on DCRC4pB with DCRC4pB (Side2pF) QET bias scanned from 150 to 40 uA in 0.2 steps, 5 seconds/step (no pause), other channels at default biases. DCRC4pB frontend gain 5, output gain 1, driver offset adjusted so that IbIs peak is near max, Charge biases are DCRC1/2 (Side2/1) = 0/0 V
1520 Move the QET bias scan series above to a new directory, byseries/07170807_2900/
1525 Set QET bias to 0 on DIB3pB/DIB4pC/DIB4pA. This is Side2pC/D/E. These are the channels next to DCRC4pB=Side2pF. We'll try IbIs again and see whether the Side2pF curve shifts when its neighbors are s/c rather than biased to transition.
1530 Start QET bias scan (IbIs) sequence on DCRC4pB with DCRC4pB (Side2pF) QET bias scanned from 150 to 40 uA in 0.2 steps, 5 seconds/step (no pause), other channels at default biases except neighbor channels are s/c as described above. DCRC4pB frontend gain 5, output gain 1, driver offset adjusted so that IbIs peak is near max, Charge biases are DCRC1/2 (Side2/1) = 0/0 V
1635 The DAQ apparently crashed. MIDAS page is not functioning. The last QET bias series was 73 uA according to files in livedata/.
1520 Move the incomplete QET bias scan series above to a new directory, byseries/07170807_3000/

as seen above, http process is not running.

1653 Restarted DAQ. Sequence seems to have started from where it left off. We'll let it go and see what happens.
1714 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
