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). Also DCRC4 is powered and hooked up to control the HV setting.
1030 Last night's IbIs on DCRC1pA looked pretty good except it railed high. I'll start some test data to try to adjust its offset remotely.
1032 Start test series at 20 Hz with standard settings
1200 Took a while, but finally got the DCRC1 baselines all around 0.8 V.
1204 Begin IbIs data sequence on DCRC1pA with HV=0V from 650 to 300 uA in -1.0 uA steps, 3 seconds of data per step. (IbIsDCRC1pA.msl)
sequence got stuck at 498.0 uA because everything sucks.
moved this data to /byseries/07171123_2500
1300 Kill MIDAS, restart MIDAS, start DAQ programs, reset run transition.
1306 short IbIs sequence test mainly to reset to normal settings
1307 Start test series at 20 Hz with standard settings
1310 OK traces look good, try again with the IbIs sequence
1312 Begin IbIs data sequence on DCRC1pA with HV=0V from 650 to 300 uA in -1.0 uA steps, 3 seconds of data per step. (IbIsDCRC1pA.msl)
sequence continued to completion
moved this data to /byseries/07171123_2600
1452 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 25.8/26.4/161 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 196/187 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.64 K / 27 mbar, MB = 67.7%
1455 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1456 Tweak 1K Pot needle valve a hair. P2 goes off scale - returns needle valve to initial position, nothing happens.
1530 Tweak it a hair closed, P2 fluctuates but settles around 55 mbar. Tower = 118 mK!
1533 Adjust driver offsets on DCRC1 PA, PB, PC, and DCRC3 PB, PD. Could not get DCRC3 PC.
