| 1014 | Begin assembly of USD1 on the tower. |
|---|---|
| 1035 | Mark DIB1 (the dib with pin 7 connected to crystal ground plane) with sharpie. Mount detector with DIB1 → tower face 1, DIB4 → tower face 4. |
| 1050 | Install source plate. Can only get 3 of the threaded rods through easily. Should be fine. Install thermometer on top of source housing using threaded rod. |

| 1159 | Crap, it looks like there are a few broken wirebonds on these side coaxes. Remove side coaxes. |

| Side Coax repairs | |
|---|---|
| 1400 | Set wirebonder to power 480 for copper pads, power 450 for resistor/capacitor pads, time 30/30, bond length 50 drop 10. |
| Spend about 2 hours trying to rethread bonder… tool had something stuck in it, wound up replacing with new one | |
| 1555 | ST-3-9: gave up rewirebonding this one. Fixed qI feedback bonds, but tried replacing all qI bias bonds twice and still it reads open. |
| 1600 | ST-3-3: successfully fixed. All 4 resistors read 25 nS. Fixed any capacitor bonds that looked broken. |
| 1610 | ST-3-10: successfully fixed. All 4 resistors read 25 nS. Fixed any capacitor bonds that looked broken. |

|---|---|
| 1020 | G1 volume had crept up to 35.8 mbar. Pump this out with scroll pump. Pump out Traps 1 and 2, each had crept up to about 2 mbar. |
| 1030 | Fill LN2 cold trap bath |
| 1045 | P1 volume had crept up to 32 mbar. Pump this out too with scroll pump. Down to 0.4 mbar in 25 minutes |
| 1115 | Start cryocleaning mixture through Trap 2 with V6=12.7%. |
| 1120 | Increase V6 → 12.8% to reestablish flow |
| 1130 | Increase V6 → 13.0% to reestablish flow |
| 1145 | Increase V6 → 13.1% to speed up flow, it was pretty low |
| 1210 | Stop cryocleaning, pump mix to dump. |
| 1640 | Remove Trap 2 from bath to let warm up |
| 1650 | Start cryocleaning mixture through Trap 1 with V6 = 12.8% |
| 1715 | Increase V6 → 13.1% to reestablish flow. May have been too much… G2 has risen above G1… but it went no higher than 690 mbar, seems to be relaxing. We'll leave it here. |
| 1745 | Stop cryocleaning, pump mix to dump |
| 1755 | Remove Trap 1 from bath to let warm up. Turn off 3He pump. |
