Cavity 1: Started at 21 MV/m without quenching. Missed the "config decarad" step...aborted and started again at 21 MV/m.
Cavity 2: Quench >18.9.
Cavity 3: Started at 21 MV/m without quenching.
Cavity 4: Quench >12.7
Cavity 5: Started at 21 MV/m without quenching.
Cavity 6: Quenches above 20.6 MV/m.
Cavity 7: unable to raise gradient much above 20 despite increasing GLOS. Starting at 20 MV/m.
Cavity 8: Started at 24 MV/m

COMMENT ON Post SAM FE onset measurements C75 and C100 cryomodules

2 days 17 hours ago
Log Number: 4543770Logbook(s): Body: 

Set up DecaRads on 2L03, 2L05, 2L23 & 2L24.
Pulled DecaRad setups from 1L24 & 1L25.

All chs on all systems read normal background counts after set up.

Measured bias voltage of each chassis locally, to ensure a no-load bias of 0.5v, +/- .005.
Only the 2L24 bias was low; adjusted from 0.483v locally, to 0.510, and back to 0.500.
During this time, ch.10 inexplicably jumped to 6000+ cps, but that is likely just noise from turning the biasing pot.

The Epics readbacks all have slight offsets, but, assuming the channels are still linear, it's likely that the change in voltage, from unloaded tubes
