No heat shields.
Both endcaps inserted and expanded.

Chamber pumped down.
HS water valves opened, no leaks detected
Tapped up manually to 35A
Vacuum stable, IGP1 = 5e-7 Torr
Initiating auto-ramp.
OMEGA slope = 0.98
TBHT will be ramped up to 230A at 1.0A/min.
TGHT will be ramped up to 300A at 2.0A/min.
Final desired temperature = 1900C

TGHT and TBHT had reached 300A/ 230A respectively.
Power bump ~10min ago caused evap2 to trip off.
Tapped back up manually to 35A.
Re-initiating auto ramp now.
