| 0030 | Fill N2 cold trap not full: about a litre shy. |
| | Tower temperature 76.5 mK: about 1 mK too high for data acquisition. This is probably due to high pressure of helium in main bath after transfer. Will leave overnight to see if it improves. |
| 1530 | Tower temperature has risen to 77.1 mK. Although there are no vibrations from main bath, attempted to help matters by venting helium gas for 2 minutes, thus releasing pressure. Tower temperature did fall a little to 76.9 mK. Will continue to monitor situation. |
| | Fill N2 cold trap full. As expected, tower temperature has started to decrease. However, this is typical when filling the cold trap. Wait for an hour before deciding if a more drastic course of action is required. |
| 1730 | Tower temperature 76.8 mK. Switch to mixing chamber thermometer. Mixing chamber temperature 68.5 mK. Temperature gradient looks alright. |
| 1735 | Check that traces haven't railed, and thus heat load is not being applied to tower. Traces look fine. Re-establish timing link and switch back to tower thermometer. No change in temperature. |
| 1750 | Vented main bath for 10 minutes. Monitor tower temperature. |
| 1920 | Tower temperature appears to have stabilised at 75.6 mK, which is good enough. Looks like venting the main bath helped. Continue to monitor temperature. |
