1140 Cease pumping on cold trap 1 and open Cold Trap 2 to P2. Collect 0.36mbar of “dirt.” Clearly nothing much in Cold Trap 2.
1155 Turn on He3 pump and open V9 to see how much is in dump. G2 reads 793mbar, so correcting for barometric pressure there is 791.3mbar of mixture in the dump. An isolated G1 reads ~11mbar for some reason. It had been pumped out on Friday, so perhaps some valve is leaky. Pump what is in Cold Trap 2 to dump (and also the ~11mbar from G1).
1450 Finish pumping to dump. G2 reads 801mbar, which adjusted means there's 799.3mbar in dump. Isolate dump and turn off He3 pump.
