Previous Day

* Lab in-personnel: Ping, Himangshu

1120 Begin filling LN2 cold trap dewar
1124 Stopped filling LN2 cold trap dewar

* Lab in-personnel: Himangshu

Begin another warm up and pump out
1457 Tower(RoX)/Tower(U28)/MC(H35)/Coldplate = 97/50.9/34/158 mK, Still(P1) = 1.19 K / 0.13 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 183/192 mbar, 1K Pot(P2) = 45° / 1.65 K / 30 mbar, MB = 27.9%
1459 Close V6 to stop circulation (Put 0% in the V6 tab in the IGHFrontPanel Vi and wait).
1503 V6 is now fully closed (light is off on IGH, Still pressure (P1) is rising (currently 2.6 mbar), Condenser pressure (G1) falling). Turn off 3He pump (Click Settings in the IGHFrontPanel.Vi and uncheck 3He Pump tab and press Ok)
1508 Close 1K Pot needle valve
1514 Open V3 to let mixture from Condenser side into Still side.
1514 MC(H35) = 0.438 K
1515 Turn off DAQ programs and unplug DCRCs 1,2 & 3
1516 Turn on Still and MC heaters to 20 mW each (Goto Settings in IGHFrontPanel.Vi, Select On in P(Still) and type 20 for Still and 20000 for M/C, Click Ok)
1521 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.
1604 MC(H35)/1KPot = 3.88/3.83 K
1604 G1(fridge) = 763 mbar. Open V9 to release mixture into dump to keep it from going over 1000 mbar
1636 MC temp starts to rise more quickly
1641 MC(H35)/1KPot = 5.22/4.33 K. Temperatures are relatively flat now.
1647 Currently, Turbo on the IVC line reads 1.2 nbar. Check pressure in IVC: 0.14 ubar. Baseline (turbo valved out): 0.22 ubar (Close Turbo pump valve and read the baseline, open IVC valves on top of the fridge, read the pressure on the turbo gauge after it settles)
1648 Pump out IVC with the turbo pump, mc temp starts to rise again
1906 MC(H35) = 10.0 K. Turn off MC and Still heaters
