Previous Day

* Lab in-personnel: Himangshu

1333 MC(H35) = 5.54 K, G1/G2 = 543/503 mbar, MB = -1.0%
1606 Started LN2 refill for cold trap 1
1600 When Plugged Cable 3 on DCRC1, Channel B shows response to QET bias which it doesn't show for DCRC4. Channel A on Cable 3 donot show squid modulation, but shows response to QET bias change.
1637 Checking Motor Coil Resistance Coil_Pin1-2: 30 ohm, Coil_Pin3-4: 21 ohm.
During bench test, this resistance was 85.7 ohm on both coils. Connect 4 resistors with R ~ 23 ohm to make Coil_Pin1-2: 73 ohm and Coil_Pin3-4: 65 ohm, close to the bench test resistance.
1757 Started one dataset with no pulses, to note down the change in baseline when we test the source mover.
MC(H35) = 33 mK, Tower(Rox) = 73 mK
1755 Resistor Pin1= 15.2 ohm. No voltage or current output yet. Set Absolute position. No change.
1807 Making first move. X=-16, Y=64 . this will try to move the Y arm by 60 degrees. MC(H35) = 34 mK, Tower(Rox) = 85.2 mK. Making a move now. No movement(change in current/voltage) or temp change observed. Checking connections.
1837 Redid all connections, not using the second Fluke this time. The ammeter current will give current in Pin 1 line.
Turning on the power drives 70 mA current in the line which dies down very quickly.
1841 MC reading 50 mK and cooling, Rox at 113 mK and cooling. Waiting to settle down
1842 With settled MC at 35 mK, making the move (X= -16 –> -16, Y= 96 –> 64). Current keep fluctuating between 50 mA to 75 mA, MC went up to 828 mK, tower Rox 2.52 K.
1846 No change in current, but MC showing another wave to 1.13 K (Tower 1.92 K). Turn off source mover circuit
