CCR Warm Up Procedure
See day log K1-35087
Power off the ion pumps
modify -s kpfgreen COL_PUMPON=No
modify -s kpfgreen ECH_PUMPON=No
Set the lakeshore to ramping control with a rate:
Ensure ramping is on:
show -s kpfgreen STA_CCDRMO COLDHEADRMO
should both be “On”modify -s kpfgreen COLDHEADRMP=1.5
modify -s kpfgreen STA_CCDRMP=1
The ramp units are degrees per minute
Change the target temperature
modify -s kpfgreen COLDHEADTRG=40 STA_CCDTRG=40
CCR Cool Down Procedure
Set the ramp rates:
modify -s kpfgreen COLDHEADRMO=on COLDHEADRMP=1.5
modify -s kpfgreen STA_CCDRMO=on STA_CCDRMP=1
Start the cold head cooling:
modify -s kpfgreen COLDHEADTRG=-110
Wait a few minutes to let the CH start cooling, then:
modify -s kpfgreen STA_CCDTRG=-100
Once everything is down to temp or levels off because of the higher partial pressure in the cryostat then give it another 2 hours and turn on the ion pump:
modify -s kpfgreen COL_PUMPON=Yes
