All 3 pumps were conditioned today, but we are not satisfied with the results, two of the pumps reached their target temperature (250 ^oC) but did not hold for an hour (if that is the program intent, to keep or "soak" for an hour at target temperature), and the 3rd pump did not reached its target temperature, it only made it up to 198 ^oC.  We are consulting the manufacturing company about such issue, if indeed there is an issue.

All 3 pumps are currently isolated from the main vacuum volume, and we will revisit their status tomorrow.
