Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Matt
Status Run 75 in progress
Setup Tower Faces 5/3/2 → Cables 2/1/3 → nothing/diverter_board/nothing → DCRC55(1)/DCRC50(3)/DCRCx(4)
Lead shield in place. Am Source y = 20.01 mm
1020 Goldman = 41.8 mK, flat overnight
0955 Adjust DCRC3pC driver offset so that IbIs peak (QET bias around 250) is near top of output scale (around 1V).
0957 Start automated IbIs on DCRC3pC. 450 to 150 uA step -2.
1000 Goldman = 41.8 mK
1035 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
1040 Restart DAQ programs with only DCRC4 enabled
1050 Adjust DCRC4pA driver offset so that IbIs peak (QET bias around 250) is near top of output scale (around 1V).
1052 Start automated IbIs on DCRC4pA. 450 to 150 uA step -2.
OOPS - forgot to change sequence to DCRC4. So this data is junk.
1052 Goldman = 41.8 mK
1130 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
1136 Start automated IbIs on DCRC4pA. 450 to 150 uA step -2.
1136 Goldman = 41.7 mK
1220 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
1225 Adjust DCRC4pB driver offset so that IbIs peak (QET bias around 190) is near top of output scale (around 1V).
1228 Start automated IbIs on DCRC4pB. 400 to 100 uA step -2.
1230 Goldman = 41.7 mK
1310 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
1315 Adjust DCRC4pC driver offset so that IbIs peak (QET bias around 340) is near top of output scale (around 1V).
1317 Start automated IbIs on DCRC4pC. 500 to 200 uA step -2.
1317 Goldman = 41.8 mK
1345 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
1350 Adjust DCRC4pD driver offset so that IbIs peak (QET bias around 230) is near top of output scale (around 1V).
1355 Start automated IbIs on DCRC4pD. 400 to 100 uA step -2. ← ABORTED, data deleted
1356 Goldman = 42.0 mK, cooling from a small spike
1420 Goldman/Tower/MC(H35)/Coldplate = 41.8/75.9/35.8/182 mK, Still = 1.42 K / 0.110 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 248/235 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.61 K / 16±1 mbar, MB = 64.9%.
1425 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1425 MIDAS browser interface is unresponsive and the last data series written was at 14:04. Looks like MIDAS crashed.
1430 Restarted MIDAS. Tried restarting sequencer which was stuck - it started over then got stuck again, because Run Start was stuck in a transitional mode.
1430 Deleted the raw data files in /livedata, we'll start over.
1432 Start automated IbIs on DCRC4pD. 400 to 100 uA step -2.
1433 Goldman = 42.3 mK, Unfortunately it looks like it's warming a bit after the LN2 fill.
Sequence ended at around 42.1 mK
1545 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
1630 DCRC3pC lost lock during IbIs (big shift during the transition sweep) so I wanna redo it. Did some manual QET bias adjustment, saw the same shift, it may now be in a more stable lock point. We'll try again.
1635 Adjust DCRC3pC driver offset so that IbIs peak (QET bias around 250) is near top of output scale (around 1V).
1640 Start automated IbIs on DCRC3pC. 450 to 150 uA step -2.
1640 Goldman = 42.2 mK
1745 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
DCRC1pC also lost lock during IbIs, let's redo it too.
2040 Adjust DCRC1pC driver offset so that IbIs peak (QET bias around 330) is near top of output scale (around 1V).
2045 Start automated IbIs on DCRC1pC. 500 to 200 uA step -2.
2045 Goldman = 42.3 mK
1020 Make new directory in /byseries and move the QB_scan files from /livedata to the new directory.
