With James' help, the problem is now solved and the machine is operational. However, I don't have enough time left for the tedious overlay alignment, so I'm cancelling my session. Below is a log of events that took place today. Ekin Raith Computer: During the last stich field there was a break down of the gun. See protocol file for time. SEM Computer - Leo Server: 20-11-2007 23:30 Error number 593: Water flow has failed 21-11-2007 00:30 Warning number 594: Water flow resumed Water temp OK Water flow OK Clicked Reset overheat OK Raith Computer Unload sample The vacuum in the chamber is not ready Please start pumping and if ready hit RETRY SEM Control - Vacuum - Pump Initially gun vacuum 1.5E-9 Torr System vacuum - Grayed out and shows 7.4E-7 Torr After some time it said - Vacuum status - At air?? Gun vacuum is still at 1.5E-9 I pressed 'pump' again Vac status - Waiting Turbo speed Raith Computer Advanced Load Lock Last Error: Error3 Check vacuum SEM Computer System Vacuum - Grayed out Gun Vacuum - 1.6E-9 Torr Vent inh = none Vac status = at air Column chamber valve = closed EHT vac ready = yes Column pumping = ready Contacted James Conway and Ilya Fushman With the help of James, cleared the Load Lock Error Pump level resumed Could not see the CCD camera, restarted the LEO Machine, CCD Camera now works From kocabas at snf.stanford.edu Thu Nov 22 20:02:43 2007 From: kocabas at snf.stanford.edu (kocabas at snf.stanford.edu) Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 20:02:43 -0800 Subject: Comment raith SNF 2007-11-22 20:02:42: USB Stick Problem with LEO Computer Message-ID: During sample loading, I inserted a USB stick to the LEO computer. It froze. Raith computer began to complain like the following "Do you want to retry venting of the load lock?" I shut down LEO computer and restarted it. I hit retry button on Raith, it said "Comm error (1): 0018" Then I hit OK. Then I could hear the load lock valve open. After that loading procedure continued from where it left off... I tried to connect my USB stick once again. LEO again froze... I exited from Raith program on the Raith machine and hard resetted the LEO machine once again. Everything was fine afterwards.. I did not try to connect the USB stick again.

Message-ID: The volume of water flowing through the cooling loop to the RAITH system continues to decline as the turbo pump and the E/O card sections clog up. We will be performing maintenance to correct this problem during our annual PM routine just before shut down.
