The coated container was wrapped in 4 Ta foil heatshields. (The 4 shields appear to work well)

Target temperature on OMEGA= 1850-1900 C

OMEGA slope:= 0.990

Target time at max temperature = 4 hours

Final Current TBHT= 230A

Final TGHT current= ~420A (adjustable)

Heating autoramp started at 2A/min on both TGHT and TBHT to40A

Then at 1A/min on both heaters to 120A.

Good vacuum = 5.0 e-04 Torr

Bad vacuum = 5.0E-02 Torr

Autoramping @4A/min on both TGHT and TBHT to 400 and 30A respectively

Monday, October 17, 2022, 12:56

slowed ramp to 2A/min on both heaters as pressure was increasing too fast.  (1A/30s).

Monday, October 17, 2022, 13:30

increased ramp rate to 4A/min on TGHT as TBHT is already at 230A

Monday, October 17, 2022, 14:16

leaving at TGHT : 393A, 6.5V ; TBHT  233A, 4.2V

OMEGA reads 1864C.  Will start rampdown at 6:17 pm

Monday, October 17, 2022, 18:16

OMEGA read 1875C at max and now reads 1856C

starting ramp down at -2A/min TGHT and -1A/min TBHT

Final IGP1= 1.4e-06 Torr

IGP1= 2.72e-7 Torr

Turning heaters off on epics and turning vacuums off.
