The gate valve on top of HAM1 was closed and the pressure is now holding; trend attached.

Note that we currently have a potentially confusing situation of two EPICS pressure channels for HAM1, only one of which is correct:

H1:VAC-LY_X0_PT100B_PRESS_TORR Is the correct channel, current value 1.3e-05

H0:VAC-LY_X0_PT100B_PRESS_TORR Is NOT the correct channel, unfortunately is misreports a better vacuum than we have, current value 1.5e-07

I went through all the vacuum MEDM screens and replaced the "H0" channels with the "H1" where ever I found them. Old MEDMs may still have the wrong value.

Vacuum FOM (nuc22) updated to new HAM1 gauge.

I've edited the caqtDM UI file for the Vacuum FOM to correct the HAM1 PT100B channel and remove the PT100A entry.
