* 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)
1338 Tower(RoX)/Tower(U28)/MC(H35)/Coldplate = -/51.1/32.7/153 mK, Still(P1) = 1.14 K / 0.08 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 152/152 mbar, 1K Pot(P2) = 30° / 1.62 K / 20 mbar, MB = 24.5%
1342 Turn off DAQ programs and unplug DCRCs 1,4 & 3
Begin another warm up and pump out
1358 Close V6 to stop circulation.
1404 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
1405 Close 1K Pot needle valve
1405 Open V3 to let mixture from Condenser side into Still side.
1408 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 23.4%
1410 MC(H35) = 0.48 K
1410 Turn on Still and MC heaters to 20 mW each
1412 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.
1413 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1449 Ended LHe transfer @ MB = 93.1%
1502 MC(H35)/1KPot = 3.86/3.94 K
1503 G1(fridge) = 744 mbar. Open V9 to release mixture into dump to keep it from going over 1000 mbar
1545 MC(H35)/1KPot = 5.28/4.32 K. Temperatures are relatively flat now.
1546 Check pressure in IVC: 0.12 ubar.
1547 Pump out IVC with the turbo pump, mc temp starts to rise again
1803 MC(H35) = 10.0 K. Turn off MC and Still heaters
