08:21 Pressure mostly stable in the 5E-12 mbar range

13 November
08:29 Pressure increased suddenly to 7E-9 mbar yesterday at 14:00, from 6.5E-12 mbar. Was the valve closed? (Confirmed
by KM)
Pressure appears to be slowly recovering. Currently in the low E-10 mbar range.
Temperature plot updated.

15:40 Pressure does not appear to drop. Currently stable around 2E-10 mbar

18:10 KM reports Ion pumps have gone off (tripped by high pressure?)
IE514 gauge still reading 1E-10, but SAES D2000-10 ion pressure gauge reading 1E-12.
Someone will check tomorrow in person.
