CP4 experiment 
Running a Worden experiment:

-CP4 at 88% full
-Set LLCV to nominal in manual mode (41% open)
-Increase LLCV by 5% (43% open) and leave it at this value
-Monitor increase in fill
-Allow fill to exceed 100% and monitor exhaust flow meter (expect a sharp increase in flow when liquid starts to hit warm exhaust)
-After this sharp increase, reduce LLCV by 10% to below nominal (<41%)
-Hope that no LN2 reaches the flow meter this time (when flow approaches 100% I will monitor while sitting next to exhaust to be ready to open bypass exhaust valve and remove flow meter with LN2 gloves on)

**THIS WILL GENERATE CP4 ALARM ON PUMP LEVEL**

Note:  this is done with Dewar at 39.6% full

I increased LLCV to 45% (10% increase from nominal) to speed things up. 5% LLCV increase is about 1% fill increase every 40 min.

Taking too long to reach critical point (>100% full), so I'm terminating this experiment before alarms start (>98% full), and will restart early tomorrow at 90% full set point.
