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)

1.1kV → NaI B/C → Ortec 452(gain=5, shaping = 6 us, output=10V) / Ortec 575A(gain=10, shaping = 3us) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRCX(4)
DCRC33(2) → kepco 1kV power supply → HV input
status: Took 22Na data overnight at -80V.
0925 Tower = 30.9 mK (cooling after flash), Still = 0.080 mbar, G1/G2 = 134/130 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.59 K / 17 mbar, Turbo on IVC = 1.0 nbar, MB = 71.2%
0930 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
0950 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 29.6/28.9/183 mK, Still = 1.4 mW / 1.5±0.1 K / 0.080 mbar, G1/G2 = 134/128 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.59 K / 17 mbar
1438 Stop sequence after flash.
1441 Return 22Na to safe.
1450 Place PuBe source on the ground south of cryostat, pushed up against south lab wall. This gives a reasonably high rate in the NaI with some pileup, but will hopefully let us see the direct gammas.
1457 Start 1hr NaI calibration dataset split into 10min subruns, with CDMS and NaI detectors running and DCRC2 as HV controller. Using sequence timed_subrun.msl
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (280/260/305)/(140/280/295) uA, Front-End Gains = (10/10/10)/(10/15/10)
NaI detector: 1.1kV → NaI B/C → Ortec 452(gain=5, shaping = 6 us, output=10V, Pos) / Ortec 575A(gain=10, shaping = 3us, Pos) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRC4PB/PA, Driver Gains = 1/1, PhononWaveFormLength = 1024 (512 samples), PhononPrepulseSamples = 64 (64 samples)
1000 BOR randoms, trigger on DCRC4pA/B threshold = 100/100
1615 Remove PuBe source from lab and return to lead castle in PAN 434.
1630 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1635 Set HV = -50V using change_HV_0_to_50_preBias_15_5_DCRC2.msl
1644 Start 14 hr, -50 V, hold time dataset split into 10 min subruns, with CDMS and NaI detectors running and DCRC2 as HV controller. Using sequence timed_subrun.msl
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (280/260/305)/(140/280/295) uA, Front-End Gains = (10/10/10)/(10/15/10)
NaI detector: 1.1kV → NaI B/C → Ortec 452(gain=5, shaping = 6 us, output=10V, Pos) / Ortec 575A(gain=10, shaping = 3us, Pos) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRC4PB/PA, Driver Gains = 1/1, PhononWaveFormLength = 1024 (512 samples), PhononPrepulseSamples = 64 (64 samples)
1000 BOR randoms, trigger on DCRC3pB/C/D threshold = 7/10/9
