Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Giulia
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 = 39.99 mm
0841 Goldman/Tower/MC(H35)/Coldplate = 41.3/74.6/33.5/177 mK, Still = 1.38 K / 0.110 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 263/236 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.59 K / 15±1 mbar, MB = 69.0%.
0852 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
0925 Goldman = 41.3 mK. Set QET biases to target dP/dI=1.0 uV and adjust driver offsets so baselines ~ -0.9 V
0928 Start 0V data series, 38 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, no in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pB threshold 10.
Start series with the Start Button.
0935 Goldman = 41.3 mK. Readjust QET biases
2005 Establish communication with Arduino. This causes a temperature spike because I'm working remotely so I didn't turn off the GwINSTEK power supply output. Goldman spikes to 0.40 K then cools.
2005 Set Dwell to 40 ms
2015 Do mvNwait +4steps×151 times, 40 second wait, with dwell = 40 and power = 6.8 V. (Around 5.93 mm/hour)
This sequence will take 1hr40min40sec and will move the source a total distance of 9.96 mm ending at y = 30.03 mm. Should end at 9:55 pm.
Tower temperature averages around 0.52 K, with 40-second oscillations as well as the familiar 1-rotation oscillation.
2245 Goldman = 57 mK and cooling
2245 Turn on DCRC1 LEDs with rep rate reduced from 5000 to 500. Turn off LEDs after 3 minutes. Goldman peaked at 1.28 K.
2330 Goldman = 52 mK and cooling
