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 → DCRCX(4)/DCRC55(1)
DCRC33(2) → 1kV power supply → HV input

Two walls of the lead/poly shield are up.
Create a new sequence to drift the voltage 2.64 V/min = 0.044 V/s.

0947 Meant to start a data series but apparently failed to hit the Start button
1110 Start a 75 min series at HV = 200→400V, rate +2.64V/min with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = (420/400/440)/(420/400/450) uA, Front-End Gains = (2/2/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR and 1000 EOR randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/C/D threshold = 6/6/6.
Use sequence HVdrift_200V_2p64VPM_prebias_10_2_dur_75min_flashDCRC_1_4.msl
1355 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 44.0/31.1/176 mK, Still = 1.02 K / 0.090 mbar, G1/G2 = 172/162 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.63 K / 22 mbar. MB = 36.8%
coldplate and still are reading in their “low” modes for whatever reason
Tower temperature continues to fall linearly, slowly
1358 Fill LN2 Cold trap bath
1415 Commence LHe transfer. MB=36.8%
1420 Note: Eye of Gnome (eog at command line) seems to be a decent viewer for the webcam images.
1431 Gah, we set the camera for 20s intervals instead of 2s. This makes it difficult to estimate the recovery level when we started the transfer. Luckily it was only a few minutes away from a dial roll-over, so we made our best estimate from there using the rate once we started taking 2s images again.
1455 Cease LHe transfer. MB=93.4%
1610 Start a 75 min series at HV = 200→400V, rate +2.64V/min with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
