Previous Day

* Lab in-personnel: Himangshu, Ping

1059 MC(H35) = 5.54 K, G1/G2 = 220/203 mbar, MB = 37%
Started filling LN2
1111 Stopped filling LN2
1112 Doing another move with the source mover. (X= -16 –> -16, Y= 64 –> 22). this should place the source under the parking spot
Power on the controller sends about 1 mA current in the circuit. the Tower(Rox) is at 118 mK and settling now. MC didnt see the current.
Current went uptp 75 mA and dies down quickly. MC(H35)= 1.15 mK, Tower(Rox) = 3.2 mK
1510 Tower(RoX)/Tower(U28)/MC(H35)/Coldplate = 86/51.6/39.1/151 mK, Still(P1) = 1.13 K / 0.12 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 210/197 mbar, 1K Pot(P2) = 45° / 1.62 K / 19 mbar, MB = 31.8%
1511 Close V6 to stop circulation (Put 0% in the V6 tab in the IGHFrontPanel Vi and wait).
1516 V6 is now fully closed (light is off on IGH, Still pressure (P1) is rising (currently 1.9 mbar), Condenser pressure (G1) falling). Turn off 3He pump (Click Settings in the IGHFrontPanel.Vi and uncheck 3He Pump tab and press Ok)
1521 Close 1K Pot needle valve
1525 Open V3 to let mixture from Condenser side into Still side.
1526 MC(H35) = 0.480 K
1529 Turn off DAQ programs and unplug DCRCs 1,2 & 3
1529 Turn on Still and MC heaters to 20 mW each (Goto Settings in IGHFrontPanel.Vi, Select On in P(Still) and type 20 for Still and 20000 for M/C, Click Ok)
1546 Close 1K Pot speedivalve, V4a, 4He pump inlet valve. Turn off 4He pump. Close recovery valve to 4He pump outlet. NOTE: remember to open recovery valve when the pump is turned back on.
1624 MC(H35)/1KPot = 3.87/3.91 K
1624 G1(fridge) = 763 mbar. Open V9 to release mixture into dump to keep it from going over 1000 mbar
1655 MC temp starts to rise more quickly
1700 MC(H35)/1KPot = 5.24/4.34 K. Temperatures are relatively flat now.
1701 Currently, Turbo on the IVC line reads 1.2 nbar. Check pressure in IVC: 0.12 ubar. Baseline (turbo valved out): 0.19 ubar (Close Turbo pump valve and read the baseline, open IVC valves on top of the fridge, read the pressure on the turbo gauge after it settles)
1708 Pump out IVC with the turbo pump, mc temp starts to rise again
1926 MC(H35) = 10.0 K. Turn off MC and Still heaters
