Xavier and Alessandro arrive at the telescope. Made a new parameter file FOR THE 2MM array ONLY (definitely need the sky for the 1mm).

Old configuration (2mm): DAC gains: 20-23-20-28-35. General niveau: 5.

New configuration (2mm): DAC gains: 20-23-20-38-55. General niveau: 5. Pixels 17-25: niv 6. Pixels 55 to 56: niv 6. Pixels 73 to 78: niv 4. Pixels 96 to 108: niv 6.

8h00. Theoretical start of the run. Winds peaking at 40m/s, telescope stopped probably the whole morning. The ski station is closed due to the wind.

9h00. LN2 in front of the cryostat window to play at least with the resonances. "Decalage" found by the new "restore tones" is good. -22kHz and -1KHz at 1 and 2mm respectively, indicating that the param file run8.txt is well representative of LN2 temperature.

NEW PARAM FILE MADE ON LN2

LN2 configuration (1mm): DAC gains: 20-23-20-30-40. General niveau: 6. Individual levels to be adjusted on the sky but it'll be difficult. Bad pixels: too difficult, see offline data analysis.

LN2 configuration (2mm): DAC gains: 20-23-20-33-50. General niveau: 5. Pixels KB021,30,41,42,111 at niv. 6. Pixels KB073-80,83,88,111,114-116,119-120 at niv.4. Bad pixels: KB033,75,76,88,109,110.
