filelist "Lab-Procedures/" recursive=true sep=line:)

• Need to add to cryo rebuild: baking teflon rollers, opening/closing He supply, no mix leakcheck/compressor He, how to diagnose issues...

Miscellaneous

• • Note: Veeco (and Andy's instructions?) use thicker cable than we use without issue. However, the thicker stuff is ABSURDLY expensive.

  • Note: thermocouples have a polarity, check the convention when attaching wires to plugs! Conventions:
