XIA DDAS steps with spdaq55:
1) Run Readout
cd ~
./goreadout
1.5) Merge Runs Before DDAS2ROOT so we only produce one root file
godata
./merge.sh run #
(this will combine root files with names like run-0001-0*.root together in a single file called run-0001.root)
2) DDAS2ROOT
cd ~
./goddasdumper 410
goevt
run0410_152Eu_in_Safebox_Room_background_North_South.root
3) Calibration
godata
root
.L /usr/opt/ddas/6.1-001/lib/libddaschannel.so
.x ddas2root.cpp
410
4) Analysis
cd /mnt/daqtesting/protondetector/stagearea
run0410_152Eu_in_Safebox_Room_background_North_South_cal.root

Actions after Run 0069:
1. Close V-5 to stop flow
2. Bypass source:
a. Open V-3
b. Close V-6 and V-7
3. Verify flow rate <5 sccm on mass flow controller (the controller has a small offset).
4. Verify TPC is still at ~2000 torr.
5. Take background runs. Run 0070 is the 1st background run.

Actions after Run 0080 to prevent damages in the sauna situation:
1. Close V-5 to stop flow
2. Unbias everything.
3. Flow rate 6 sccm.
Status on 7/12/2024:

Status on 7/13/2024:
TPC 33.1℃, North Coldtip: -174.3℃, North Cooler 60.7℃, North Head 54.1℃, GHS 41.9℃.
All temps are still rising. Cooler failure is inevitable.

Evening 7/13/2024, North Cooler failed.
Pressing the cooler On/Off button had no effect.

Mirion Wilhelm & Gabriela: The controller will prevent activation of the cooler when the cold tip temperature exceeds -150 C. In this condition, the cooler will not activate until the cold tip temperature exceeds 0C. This functionality is designed to prevent a partial thermal cycle of the detector. Note with large 100% detectors that you have, the detector may not be fully warm a the default cooler activation temperature, so we would recommend to allow a full 24 hour warm up before turning the cooler back on.
Status on 7/14/2024:
The North Cooler appeared to have restarted automatically? Early Sunday morning, I guess. The Coldtip was at -180℃, which would've caused a partial thermal cycle.
I pressed the On/Off button to allow it to fully warm up, which is expected to be completed by 4 pm 7/15/2024.
