| THE NOISE (with the window) seems OK. On three random lines over the three arrays I see on average 1Hz/sqrt(Hz) (2mm), 2Hz/sqrt(Hz) (1mm, NIKEL_RF) and 2.5Hz/sqrt(Hz) (1mm, NIKEL_DC). Very flat on the 2mm one, a bit less on the 1mm ones. Still no traces of the pulse tube. | THE NOISE (with the window) seems OK.

Still no traces of the pulse tube. I think that the difference between the noise on the NIKEL_Rf and the NIKEL_DC can be explained with the modulation. The nominal 10kHz modulation on the NIKEL_RF are in reality 6.5kHz, while on the other RF source attached to the NIKEL_DC we have 9.5kHz. Or viceversa. So the RF_dIdQ is calculated a bit differently. So my conclusion is that most probably there is no real difference between the two configurations. |

19h30. NIKA2 HAS ALL THE 20 LINES CONNECTED AND ALL WITH RESONANCES. WE ENTERED THE 3000 PIXELS ERA.

- Olivier, Alessandro and Florian arrived at the telescope.
The new boards installed and connected
Array 1 (1mm - IN-OUT 5-12): NIKEL_RF (192.168.1.150)
Array 2 (2mm - IN-OUT 1-4): NIKEL_USB (192.168.1.221-24)
Array 3 (1mm - IN-OUT 13/20): NIKEL_DC (192.168.1.170)
