I turned on the TMP at 12:54. The pressure at that time was 3.58*101 Pa.

The pressure at 13:05 was 8.1*10-2 Pa.

I will continue pumping for a while (until Monday).

Note: The TMP is in "local" mode and can only  be operated using the front control panel.

The pressure at 8:00 was 4.7*10-4 Pa. Looking at previous logs, the final pressure is consistent with past values.

I plan to start cooling on Thursday.

I also checked the valves for water supply to compressor are open. So I might not have to worry about cleaning up the water lines. I heard the water is supplied by ATC, but do I need to turn on the water chiller?
