Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → SL 27/19/20 → 3.2 MHz filters → cables 2,1,3 → HV board inputs 1,3,2 → HV board outputs 1,2 → DCRC55(1)/50(3).
1000 MIDAS got stuck last night. Restart MIDAS and DAQ programs.
1003 Begin IbIs data sequence on DCRC3pD with HV=0V from 750 to 400 uA in -0.5 uA steps, 3 seconds of data per step
Sequence continued to completion.
1157 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 29.1/27.1/153 mK, Still = 1.27 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 150/140 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.66 K / 38 mbar, MB = 19.9%
1159 Fill LN2 cold trap.
1209 Start LHe transfer (MB = 19.6%)
1259 Pause LHe transfer, dewar ran empty. MB = 48.7%
1308 Resume LHe transfer with new dewar.
1310 Stop DAQ programs and restart MIDAS, then restart programs
1400 End LHe transfer (MB = 87.6%)
1429 Begin IbIs data sequence on DCRC3pC with HV=0V from 750 to 400 uA in -0.5 uA steps, 3 seconds of data per step
This sequence got stuck again, at the same place as when I tried it yesterday: last data file was at 459.0 uA at 16:21. I'll write a new sequence with a different range (for this channel 400 uA may not be low enough anyway, 430 uA was the operating value.
2050 Kill MIDAS, then restart it. Then start the DAQ programs.
2057 Try starting sequence but run into error because identically-named file already exists in /livedata. Create folder /byseries/07171119_2500 and put today's files there.
2106 Begin IbIs data sequence on DCRC3pC with HV=0V from 600 to 300 uA in -0.5 uA steps, 3 seconds of data per step
2200 Sequence got past 459.0 uA, that's good. Still going.
Moved the DCRC3pD files and the first attempt (14:29) on DCRC3pC to /byseries/07171119_2500. Moved the second, complete attempt on DCRC3pC to /byseries/07171119_2600.
