| Status: Fridge reassembled with 600 mK rod re-installed. All mixture recovered to dump. 1K Pot needle valve closed. Trap 1 and fridge pumped out. Cryostat vacuum jacket pumped out. | |
| 0915 | Begin tying down LED wires to tower connector spool. |
| 0935 | Finish attaching 30 mK can adapter ring to tower. Polished all the thermal contact surfaces with ScotchBrite. |
| 0940 | Quick tower electrical check: all connected phonon channels are good, no phonon shorts to chassis, all four LEDs show voltages. Tower thermometer good. |
| 1045 | Tower installation: finish 30mK stage |
| 1145 | Tower installation: finish 100mK stage |
| 1249 | Tower installation: Polish 600mK rod and tower ear before connecting them. Finish 4K shield. Install DIB1 SQUET. |
| 1320 | Electrical check at breakout box for DIB1: everything OK except pD Feedback/return reads open. Probably stripline #19 lost another one. |
| 1520 | Verify that Stripline #19 has a break in the pD Feedback Coil trace (that's Pin 17 on the SQUET side). Rather than fix it, we'll try swapping Stripline #19 over to DIB3, because DIB3pD is not a connected channel. |
| 1535 | Begin cryocleaning mixture through Trap 2. V6 is open to 12.8%. |
| 1535 | DIB3 SQUET is installed (with Stripline #19) |
| 1550 | Circulation stopped, increase V6 to 13.1% to reestablish flow |
| 1555 | DIB3 passes electrical check |
| 1605 | Circulation stopped, increase V6 to 13.2% to reestablish flow |
| 1610 | DIB4 passes electrical check |
| 1620 | DIB1 passes electrical check |
| 1620 | Stop cryocleaning through Trap 2 after 45 minutes |
| 1630 | After pumping out Trap 2, remove it from bath to let it warm to room temperature |
| 1708 | Tower installation: Install all SQUETs and heat sinks, close up IVC. |
| 1715 | Begin pumping on IVC with scroll pump. |
| 1745 | Pumping pressure reads 7.6e-2 mbar, switch to turbo pump. |
| 1759 | Pumping pressure reads 1.6e-3 mbar |
