Previous Day

Setup DIB1/2/4 → 3.2 MHz filters → cable 1/2/3 → gender changer 1/2/3 → movable source controller/board with external Feedback resistor/nothing → DCRC55(1)/DCRC33(2)/DCRC50(3)
0935 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
0945 Begin LHe transfer MB=28.5%
1040 Main Bath level was falling for abnormally long time at beginning of transfer, is rising now
1105 End LHe transfer MB=95.1%
1630 Start -/+ bias scan of 30 min Bkg data series with S1/S2 = 0/0,-/+4,-/+8,-/+12 V with edited phonon settings, Driver gain = 1, with 1000 initial randoms, followed by 30s flash
trigger on DCRC2pA/B/C/D = 8/8/8/8 ADC
using sequence qbias_scan_r71_mp_0_4_8_12.msl
1800 The tower temp rose to 48 mK and 53 mK during the 8V and 12V series for some reason.

looks like 20 minutes after the 8V series started, there was breakdown in DCRC1 charge. For all of the 12V series there was breakdown in DCRC1 charge.

note: at 0/0 V there were significant charge pulses. So it probably was not really at 0V. (On Nov 12 we realized that MIDAS was messed up and sending the wrong bias to DCRC1 - this could be the first indication of the problem, which may have begun when the DAQ programs were restarted on Nov 7.)
