E-Beam #2 is down - Update
The replacement cyro pump had a leak in the N2 purge connection. After that was sorted out I was able to get the cryo going. However, it appears there is an issue with this cryo as it is pumping very slow. I am going to let it pump overnight but will most likely change it out in the morning. As of right now, no ETA on when the tool will be available.

MLA Up
The MLA is up, service has finished. OptAF is in-spec, but PneuAF currently has a shift down to -18 defocus - you will need to adjust your focus via FEM calibration.

EBeam1 is back UP
Late this morning, the hoist motor was finally delivered, and as soon as it arrived I started the installation.
I then tested the Egun operation due to the new high voltage feed throughs that were installed earlier this week.
All tests were completed without issue. System UP.

ICP1 Down
The board we were waiting on arrived, but it did not resolve the tool issue. We are working with Panasonic on the next steps.
