| 0015 | Increase valve V6 to 14.5%. Tower temperature decreases and pressure in G2 increases to 240 mbar before I decrease V6 to 14%. Pressure in G2 decreases, but tower temperature increases again. |
| 0020 | Tower temperature decreasing, pressure in G2 decreasing but still a little high at 208 mbar. This is probably acceptable. Will leave this overnight and see what situation is like tomorrow morning. |
| 1455 | Fill N2 cold trap full. Tower temperature 4.5 K. |
| 1530 | Open line to cold trap 2. Perhaps this will improve the flow. |
| 1600 | Adjust LakeShore Thermometer's resistance range to fix R.Over error. |
| 1745 | Temperature starts to drop noticeably faster, cause unknown. Increasing valve V6 gradually. |
| 1845 | V6 Fully Opened. Tower Temperature at 165 mK, having fixed the temperature curve setting on the LakeShore Thermometer. |
| 1922 | Temperature stabilized at 155.7mK. |
| 2045 | G2 pressure 95 mbar and stable. Valve V14 closed to isolate dump as most mixture should be out of there by now. Turn Still on: 5.0 mW. Temperature jumps from 153 mK to 155 mK, and G2 pressure rises to 136 mbar. Wait for a while and see what happens. |
| 2100 | Tower temperature increases. No end in sight. Perhaps I turned on Still too early. Turn it off at a tower temperature of 176 mK. |
| 2120 | Tower temperature and G2 pressure decreasing. |
| 2140 | Tower temperature 155 mK and dropping, G2 pressure 93 mbar. |
| | Plug in DCRC boards. |
| 2235 | Fill N2 cold trap full. |
