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

Three walls of the lead/poly shield are up.
0205 Apparently at this time, the fridge computer spa-vuk1 rebooted, because the LabVIEW vi's stopped.
0518 Start an 88 min series at HV = 180→400V, rate 2.49V/min, with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = (490/400/490)/(420/480/450) uA, Front-End Gains = (2/2/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR, 5Hz InRun randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/C/D threshold = 8/8/8.
Use sequence HVdrift_180V_cal0612_2p49VPM_prebias_10_2_dur_88min_flashDCRC_1_4.msl
Let's try some lower-trigger-threshold data, for a better chance of seeing the 0.16 keV line
0927 Start an 88 min series at HV = 180→400V, rate 2.49V/min, with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = (490/400/490)/(420/480/450) uA, Front-End Gains = (2/2/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR, 5Hz InRun randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/C/D threshold = 7/7/7.
Use sequence HVdrift_180V_cal0612_2p49VPM_prebias_10_2_dur_88min_flashDCRC_1_4.msl
1200 Restart fridge vi's after spa-vuk01 reboot this morning.
1430 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1500 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 40/32.4/199 mK, Still = 1.27 K / 0.09 mbar, G1/G2 = 151.4/152.1 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.62 K / 19 mbar. MB = 63.3%
1501 Start an 88 min series at HV = 180→400V, rate 2.49V/min, with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = (490/400/490)/(420/480/450) uA, Front-End Gains = (2/2/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR, 5Hz InRun randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/C/D threshold = 7/7/7.
Use sequence HVdrift_180V_cal0612_2p49VPM_prebias_10_2_dur_88min_flashDCRC_1_4.msl
DCRC1pB&C were railed for this entire series
1825 Get the channels relocked and adjusted.
1829 Start an 88 min series at HV = 180→400V, rate 2.49V/min, with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = (490/400/490)/(420/480/450) uA, Front-End Gains = (2/2/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR, 5Hz InRun randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/C/D threshold = 7/7/7.

2000 It doesn't look like data is being written to /midasraw/byseries. Don't see dumps in /midasraw/livedata either. But it looks like everything is running. Not sure what's wrong.
2005 Checking /midasraw/livedata/midas.log things definitely look wrong. In the last series you'd see lazy_logger messages interspersed with the HV updates, but now there's nothing. Also strange that no dumps seem to be showing up in /midasraw/livedata. It's as if the logger is off, but ODB says it's on. Well, I'll let this sequence finish then do some tests.
note the zeros on the bottom, and the fact that the run number doesn't match the current run.
pretty sure that's not normal
2020 Start a test series now that the data series has stopped - sequence is still going, ramping down the HV. Looks like there are now correct things in the “Logging Channels” box: “Events”, “MB written”, and “Compr” are non-zero and updating, and the run number matches the current run. And a raw data directory is present in /midasraw/byseries. Looks ok. Not sure what happened with the last sequence. Stop this test series after 4 minutes.
2113 Start an 88 min series at HV = 180→400V, rate 2.49V/min, with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = (490/400/490)/(420/480/450) uA, Front-End Gains = (2/2/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR, 5Hz InRun randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/C/D threshold = 7/7/7.
