Nasmyth offsets : 0, 0
Set pointing : 0, 0
Set Focus : -2.40 mm
Cryostat Temperature: 150 +/- 0.02 mK (regulated with power 50uW) Arrays status tonight: 126 pixels 2mm - good noise; 90 pixels 1mm noise 2x optimal (due to cold amplifier saturation --> -62dBm per KID instead of -50dBm)
Test the Pako sequences and data flows.
