Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters 2/3/1 → cable 3/1/2 → gender changer 3/?/2 → HVConn 1/3/2 → HV 1/2 → DCRC55(1)/DCRC50(3)
overnight: DCRCs powered, 100V bias on detector
1441 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 35.6/30.7/186 mK, Still = 1.29 K / 0.100 mbar, G1/G2 = 157/153 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.52±0.01 K / 6.5±0.5 mbar. MB = 60.6%
1444 Vbias/Vtest/Vdet = 105.02/18.5/97.6 V
1447 Dial HV down to 0V and ground.
1449 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1450 Flash DCRCs 1,3 for 30 sec.
1450 Ok, looks like it didn't flash for 30 sec. I entered Miniflash ON/OFF time (s): 30/5, Flash duration (h):0.0083. I don't know why that wouldn't work but the sequence lasted for 1.5 minutes before I ended it. Is this a problem or will it just take longer to cool back down?
1601 Flash DCRCs 1, 3 for 5 sec to end the flashing sequence. When I ended it immediately, it didn't actually turn the LEDs off. Now temperature is dropping.
1627 Dial prebias HV up to 95.017 V. Tower = 39.2 mK.
1634 Dial HV down, Vbias/Vtest/Vdet = 88.91/14.4/83.24 V.
1635 Vbias/Vtest/Vdet = 85.005/13.5/79.610 V. Tower = 37.9 mK.
1638 Start sequence of 12 60-minute background data series at HV = 80V, Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = 290/270/315/140/315/310 uA, Front-End Gains = 10, 1000 initial randoms, trigger on DCRC3pB/C/D threshold = 10/20/20, no flash between, using sequencer script SimpleDataLoopNoFlash.msl
1638 Tower = 37.3 mK.
