The IFO pressure is estimated ~1E-6 Torr with modified Vac normal valve configuration.
CC4 is in a jumping mode between 2e-5 and 1e-6 Torr
Pressure based interlock kicks in to close VM1 at 2e-5 Torr to protect the RGA.
I did open VM1 repeatedly in the last few mornings but as cc4 jumps VM1 closes.
As VM1 closed to RGA scans are not seeing the IFO. I will look at some scans on Monday.
Mean while I opened VM2 to lower the pressure for the RGA. This change will be read by "Current Status: Undefined State"
So do not panic, the IFO pressure is normal.
I need someone's help to raise the interlock threshold to 5e-5 Torr
I'm buying a new cold cathode gauge on Monday.
note: cc1 is out of order!
just read P1 the pressure is < 7e-4 Torr This gauge is very reliable and it is at the low end of it's range.
