Monday, May 12, 2014, 14:44 : Vacuum at  1.7E-5 T


Tuesday, May 13, 2014, 10:51: Opened water for HS circuit. Vacuum stable at 2.2E-7 T. Minor spike to 2.5E-7 T for 10 s.

Tuesday, May 13, 2014, 10:54: Roughing out gas lines.

Tuesday, May 13, 2014, 11:30: Opening SV5 and SV2 to evacuate gas lines completely.

Tuesday, May 13, 2014, 11:58: BIAS to 30kV, EZL to 13 kV. EE to 1.5 kV.

Tuesday, May 13, 2014, 12:12: Started heating to 450A / 200A TGHT / TBHT.


Target heating stopped at 167 A - likely caused by network problems. Multiple gaps in strip tool. Indicating lost network connection.

Wednesday, May 14, 2014, 10:07: Resuming heating to 450A / 200A TGHT / TBHT (EPICS 170A)

Wednesday, May 14, 2014, 10:12: De-biasing to investigate ANODE/CATHODE BIAS

Switched ON ANODE/CATHODE BIAS PS.

Wednesday, May 14, 2014, 16:07: Continue heating TGHT to 500A

Wednesday, May 14, 2014, 16:33: TGHT at 500A. TBHT at 203 A.


Thursday, May 15, 2014, 14:57: Switched OFF/ON IOC to recover from white-out.

Thursday, May 15, 2014, 15:51: Started heating to 550A / 240A

Friday, May 16, 2014, 11:28  : Opening Ne

Friday, May 16, 2014, 11:56: TBHT to 290 A

Friday, May 16, 2014, 14:12: Started cool down. ANODE/CATHODE Bias requires reconfiguration.


Tuesday, May 20, 2014, 11:10: Ray and co is checking the configuration and troubleshooting the burnt off GND connection. The Test Stand will be configured to CATHODE negative BIAS.

Tuesday, May 20, 2014, 12:35: BIAS, EZL, EE, COIL, ANODE ON.

Tuesday, May 20, 2014, 12:35: Gas lines pumped.

Tuesday, May 20, 2014, 12:35: Auto heating to 240A/500A at 1A/2A /min.
