I ended the bake of the UHV system (that began on Monday) at 6:23 pm today by switching OFF both PID controllers. The heaters elements were run at max power (24 V DC / 200 mA per element) during this bake, and I left them powered at the same level.

At the time, the instrument readings were as follows:

• Left high-limit controller: 138 C
• Right high-limit controller: 128 C
• Left PID controller: 100 C
• Right PID controller: 100 C
• Main volume pressure: 8.17e-7 Torr
• RGA volume pressure: 4.63e-7 Torr
