* Lab in-personnel: Zach

Status Run 77 in progress.
Setup To Be Cable 2/1/3 → diverter/nothing/nothing → DCRC50(3)/DCRC55(1)/DCRCX(4)
1030 Tower(RoX)/Tower(U28)/MC(H35)/Coldplate = -/56.1/31.8/145 mK, Still(P1) = 1.14 K / 0.11 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 127.2/133.7 mbar, 1K Pot(P2) = 30° / 1.65 K / 26 mbar, MB = 31.7%
Begin another warm up and pump out
1345 Close V6 to stop circulation.
1350 V6 is now fully closed (light is off on IGH, Still pressure is rising (currently 1.5 mbar), Condenser pressure falling). Turn off 3He pump
1355 Close 1K Pot needle valve
1356 Open V3 to let mixture from Condenser side into Still side.
1357 MC(H35) = 0.40 K
1358 Turn off DAQ programs and unplug DCRCs 1&3
1359 Turn on Still and MC heaters to 20 mW each
1400 Close 1K Pot speedivalve, V4a, 4He pump inlet valve. Turn off 4He pump. Close recovery valve to 4He pump outlet. NOTE: remember to open recovery valve when the pump is turned back on.
1402 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1443 MC(H35)/1KPot = 3.88/3.81 K
1444 G1(fridge) = 760 mbar. Open V9 to release mixture into dump to keep it from going over 1000 mbar
1510 MC temp starts to rise more quickly
1520 MC(H35)/1KPot = 5.11/4.35 K. Temperatures are relatively flat now.
1524 Check pressure in IVC: 0.16 ubar.
1525 Pump out IVC with the turbo pump, mc temp starts to rise again
1750 MC(H35) = 10.0 K. Turn off MC and Still heaters
