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). DCRC4 → HV power supply.
0550 HV = 69.87 V, V_leak = 2.40 mV
0550 Tower = 21.5 mK
0550 Dial HV bias down to 0 V using changeHV_70_0.msl
0600 Flash detector with DCRC1,3 LEDs for 30 s
0700 Dial HV up to 70 V with 15% 5-minute prebias, using changeHV_0_70_preBias15_5.msl
0720 HV = 69.86 V, V_leak = 2.61 mV
0720 Tower = 21.5 mK
let's do a short series to unrail DCRC3pB
0723 Start 17-minute background data series at HV = 70V, Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (-500/360/440)/(-480/380/-490) uA, Front-End Gains = 10/5 on DCRC1/3, 1000 initial randoms, trigger on DCRC3pC threshold 13.
0732 Adjust DCRC3pB D.O. from 0.15 to 0.5
0740 Start sequence of 4 60-minute background data series at HV = 70V, Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (-500/360/440)/(-480/380/-490) uA, Front-End Gains = 10/5 on DCRC1/3, 1000 initial randoms, trigger on DCRC3pC threshold 13.
1722 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 21.5/25.2/150 mK, Still = 1.2 K / 0.100 mbar, G1/G2 = 240/220 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.62 K / 26 mbar, MB = 59.1%
1725 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1726 Dial HV bias down to 0 V using changeHV_70_0.msl
1731 Flash detector with DCRC1,3 LEDs for 30 s
1835 Let's take a little data with a channel superconducting to try and get a hold on the Johnson noise at 0V.
1836 Set DCRC1PA QET bias to 0 and DCRC1 phonon trace length to 32768 (13.1072 ms)
2042 Start 5 min SC data series at HV=0V, Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (0/360/440)/(-480/380/-490) uA, Front-End Gains = 10/5 on DCRC1/3, DCRC1 trace length = 13.1072ms, Trigger on 20Hz randoms
2049 It may be illuminating to see what the SC noise is at bias as well. If the HV-related noise is really coming in though the TES, then I think SC noise should be the same at 0V and bias.
2051 Dial HV up to 70 V with 15% 5-minute prebias, using changeHV_0_70_preBias15_5.msl
2107 HV = 69.88 V, V_leak = 2.83 mV
2108 Start 5 min SC data series at HV=70V, Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (0/360/440)/(-480/380/-490) uA, Front-End Gains = 10/5 on DCRC1/3, DCRC1 trace length = 13.1072ms, Trigger on 20Hz randoms
2119 Hrm, having the trace lengths different on DCRC1,3 may be causing trouble for the processing. Let's redo these with DCRC3 trace lengths long too.
2114 Start 5 min SC data series at HV=70V, Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (0/360/440)/(-480/380/-490) uA, Front-End Gains = 10/5 on DCRC1/3, DCRC1,3 trace length = 13.1072ms, Trigger on 20Hz randoms
2120 Dial HV bias down to 0 V using changeHV_70_0.msl
2307 Start 5 min SC data series at HV=0V, Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (0/360/440)/(-480/380/-490) uA, Front-End Gains = 10/5 on DCRC1/3, DCRC1,3 trace length = 13.1072ms, Trigger on 20Hz randoms
2330 Restore DCRC1PA QET bias = -500 uA
