There are numerous things that may cause a pressure increase in the chamber or the gas manifold. If the pressure is really out of line, the problem should be fixed as soon as possible. Just keep an eye on it and take action when necessary. Things to Check before Going Home The following should be off: the X-ray source supplies (high voltage and filament) the cooling water to the X-ray source the heater around the rotary on the manipulator the heater power on the temperature controller. The main power can be left on. the air flow into the manipulator the filament and multiplier of the mass spectrometer (toggle switches in appropriate positions) the sputter gun Do you have a backup of the data you took today on a diskette? (Only the *.DXP, *.IXP,*.ITD, *.DTD, *.IMS, *.DMS ; the *.DAT files can be saved separately for data processing). Appendices Appendix A
