Mimir Cooling Start

    • Turned on BA Gauge
    • Pegged the detector temperature to the current temperature, make sure to turn the heater on.
    • Set the temperature set point for the second stage to 10.0K
    • Changed the temper log file data to reflect the current date i.e. 20140902.tc.log in this case.
    • Changed plottempa.pro to look at new temper file.
    • Rebuilt the IDL virtual machine program to push the web pages.
    • Moved the Camera, Slit, and Decker to home
    • Started the runstage program to move the mechanisms while cooling.
    • Started the compressor at 13:13 09/02/2014.
    • Changed the Amperage for the BA gauge to 6.5 mA at 14:15.
    • Fix the crontab so the BA gauge would automatically turn on and off.
    • 16:09, started the detector to ramp at 0.1 K/m to 33.5K
    • 16:36, Valved off the vacuum pumps
