1000 Fill LN2 coldtrap full.
Cryocleaning flow had stopped overnight. Further open V6 to restart flow.
1045 Commence pumping out He exchange gas.
1500 IVC pressure still only at 3.0E-2 mbar. Possible leak, but no way to tell until after blowing out LN2. Commence LN2 blow out.
Background leak rate of 1.2E-8 mbar*L/s. Current MC temperature of 78.2K.
1650 Complete LN2 blow out. Final leak rate gradually rose to 9.8E-7 mbar*L/s and then spiked to ~1E-3 mbar*L/s. We have a leak, but most likely at the bottom IVC flange indicated by the lateness of the spike.
1810 Commence warm up procedure.
1843 Add 1.0 mbar exchange gas to IVC to aid in warm up process.
Fill LN2 coldtrap full.
