CP4 bake ramp down begins

Today we started ramping down CP4 bake temperature after it soaked at 130C for 30 days (minus variances from top to bottom temps).

MCE came on site today to modify the (single sequence) ramp profile. The "holding time" was faulty because the temperature bands were set too narrow (+/- 0.01C). They are now +/-1C so the program can soak and then automatically begin its ramp down. It soaked at 124C for an hour this afternoon and began ramp down around 5pm local at 1C/hr until it reaches room temperature. I will monitor tonight.

We will need to remove the additional 10 kW heater from the circuit when temps approach ~ 100C (I'm guessing).
