From mihirt at stanford.edu Sun Jul 1 10:46:57 2007 From: mihirt at stanford.edu (mihirt at stanford.edu) Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2007 10:46:57 -0700 Subject: IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: Cascade announcements Message-ID: <20070701104657.cdx30czhh5sg8gws@webmail.stanford.edu> Hi all, Some announcements and updates regarding the Cascade probe station in CIS 152. 1) The repaired chiller is back from Temptronic. It has been installed, and the temp. controller is ready for use. Please remember that the system is to be used only from -40 to +150 degrees. 2) We have ordered and received 4 more probe holders (to replace the broken ones). Unfortunately, two more of our original probe holders were damaged in the meantime, leaving us with _five_ total working holders. We have ordered two more to bring the total to seven. This will allow us to work with 6 manipulators and have 1 backup. 3) Due to the high ongoing cost of these repairs and part replacements, as well as high Cascade use, we have consulted with faculty and arrived at the conclusion that the user list needs to be rebooted. ALL USERS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM on July 15th. We will begin re-qualifying users for the Cascade immediately. The criteria for requalification are: - Demonstration of a compelling reason to use the Cascade (i.e. why your measurements cannot be performed elsewhere). These reasons should be demonstrated to Gaurav, Duygu, and Mihir. Simple IVs and CVs should be performed on the EE410 system managed by Raymond Woo. - Accompanying three separate users on three separate days to observe proper loading procedures. - Final training by Gaurav (gthareja at stanford.edu), Duygu (duygu), or Mihir (mihirt). It is our hope that this additional training will prevent system downtime and expensive repairs. Paring the userlist will also allow us to expand the reservation limits. More detailed announcements will be posted in CIS 152. -- Mihir Tendulkar Applied Physics PhD Candidate Nishi Group, Stanford University From duygu at stanford.edu Sun Jul 1 16:01:56 2007 From: duygu at stanford.edu (duygu at stanford.edu) Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2007 16:01:56 -0700 Subject: IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: Cascade announcements In-Reply-To: <20070701104657.cdx30czhh5sg8gws@webmail.stanford.edu> References: <20070701104657.cdx30czhh5sg8gws@webmail.stanford.edu> Message-ID: <20070701160156.4jv2jsyjoioggo8s@webmail.stanford.edu> Hi all, In addition to Mihir's announcements, we'll prepare 'procedures' to use Temptronic, temperature controller. It has been down for a long while and took a lot of effort to get it back.Please wait for procedures, before starting to use the system.

The Rucker/Kolls probe station located in CIS152 is managed by myself and an as of yet unnamed person (any volunteers??). - Ray duygu at stanford.edu wrote: > Hi all, > > In addition to Mihir's announcements, we'll prepare 'procedures' to > use Temptronic, temperature controller.
