1537 Open V3 to let mixture from Condenser side into Still side.
1540 MC(H35) = 0.62 K
1600 Close 1K Pot needle valve

1622 G1(fridge) = 308 mbar. Open V9 to release mixture into dump
1629 MC(H35)/1KPot = 2.88/3.09 K.
1630 Check pressure in IVC: 16 nbar, its lower at this temperature
1632 Pump out IVC with the turbo pump
1940 MC(H35) = 10.0 K. Turn off MC and Still heaters
