| 0933 | Mixing chamber temperature at 7.5 K, LHe level = 60.7%. |
| 0938 | IVC at 6.3E-7 mbar. Isolate IVC. P2=5.5 mbar. Turn on scroll pump to pump out cold trap 1 and P2. Once pumped out, isolate cold trap 1 and put into LN2 bath. Fill bath. |
| 0955 | 1K Pot started. Currently G1=5.9 mbar, G2= 575 mbar, P1=.8 mbar, P2=2.0 mbar, 1K Pot temperature at 1.47 K and fridge temperature at 7.4 K. Start He 3 pump. |
| 1000 | Currently using scroll pump as 1K Pot pump, but quickly switch it over to using the He4 pump as intended. He4 pump seems capable of operating as 1K pot pump. |
| 1005 | Isolate and unpower Turbopump. 1K Pot: 1.53K. Open Gate and Condenser Line speedivalve. Open V9, G2: 803.7mbar. |
| 1010 | Open V1, V3, and Cold Trap 1 speedivalve. Open V13A to let mixture seep through V12A and slowly condense in fridge. G1 begins slowly rising at a reasonable pace. |
| 1013 | While slowly condensing the mixture, the 1K Pot is still down around 1.56K. Open the needle valve slightly to raise the temperature of the 1K Pot to ~1.79K. P2: 45.0mbar. MC Temp: 7.41K and dropping. |
| 1030 | MC Temp: 2.1K, 1KPot: 1.84K, P2: 340mbar. G1: 82mbar, G2: 416mbar, P1: 1000mbar. V12A is open at 4%, and we're opening it more every ~10s. |
| 1120 | MC Temp: 1.99K, 1KPot: 1.84K, P2: 260mbar. G1: 62.5mbar, G2: 67.4mbar, P1: 1000mbar. V12A is all the way open (has been since 1100). Just letting G1 and G2 stabilize before opening V6. |
| 1144 | With G1=62 mbar, G2=67 mbar, P2=320 mbar and oscillating (all other values unchanged), close V3 and V9 and open V6 (12% to start, increased to 12.9%) and commence circulation. MC temperature at 1.97 K and slowly dropping. Close 1K Pot slightly to bring 1K Pot temperature to 1.75 K (P2=32 mbar). |
| 1245 | Open V6 to 13.8%, and P1 finally drops from 1000mbar. Temperature begins plummeting. MC Temp: 1.43K and dropping. G1: 115mbar, G2: 156mbar, P1: 100mbar. 1KPot: 1.70K, P2: 18mbar. |
| 1256 | Open V6 all the way, G1:117 mbar, G2: 151 mbar, P1:.26 mbar and dropping, P2: 16 mbar, 1K Pot temp: 1.70 K, mixing chamber temperature at 860 mK and dropping. |
| 1316 | Open V14, P1 rises to roughly 200 mbar and begins dropping, G2 rises to 160 mbar and begins to drop. Mixing chamber temperature at 155 mK. |
| 1355 | Mixing chamber temperature 46.79 mK, G1=72 mbar, G2=90.4 mbar, P1=0.38 mbar, 1K Pot temperature is 1.706 K, P2=18.0 mbar. |
| 1420 | With P1=.22 mbar, close V14. Currently G1= 92.1 mbar, G2=104.3 mbar, P1= 75 ubar, P2=18 mbar (1K Pot temperature 1.705) and mixing chamber temperature at 44 mK. |
| 1435 | Adjust 1K Pot such that its temperature drops to 1.536 K. This initially causes a rise in mixing chamber temperature, but around 48 mK MC temp begins falling again. |
| 1556 | Fill LN2 cold traps full. |
| 1610 | MC Temp: ~43mK, Tower Temp: ~47mK. |
| 1710 | Mixing chamber temperature at 44 mK (slowly rising but hopefully it will start to drop), 1K Pot temperature at 1.68 K, P2=13.0 mbar, G1=188 mbar, G2=188 mbar, P1= .10 mbar. |
