Morning
Today was all about vacuum. I started by looking at the EBW3 program. Because I got a drawing that had most of the IO labeled, I figured that reading the program would be a snap. Once I got started, I realized that I didn't really understand the vacuum process well enough to breeze through the program. I started by reading about different pumps on the web. Tony came in and gave me a book on vacuum that was really helpful in understanding the different technologies (DP, Jet, screw pumps, Roots pumps, etc.).
Afternoon
With my new vacuum knowledge, I followed Tony around EBW4 a little. The upgrades are really coming together. I was checking out everything they had done, plus I was sneaking peaks at the vacuum system to see if I understood it. Around 3:00 I started reading the actual EBW3 program and found that I did breeze through it with an intuition for what was going on. I just needed to grab a few prints of the valve work and spend some time to get it all worked out.
