 The venting and pumping of the target area vacuum chamber is taken care of by the experimenters. Since this chamber is always shifting between different configurations, the status of the system as displayed on the PanelMate control page may not be reliable at any given time. The readout from the ion gauge should be fed into the PanelMate for either configuration.  The state display and the ability to control the two beamline gatevalves, I246GV and I255GV, should also be functioning in PanelMate for either configuration, but the interlock status display and the interlock functionality to protect from opening either gatevalve at the wrong time may not be set up correctly. The venting and pumping of the target area vacuum chamber is taken care of by the experimenters.

 +Ensure that the experimenters never pump the chamber down if the spectrograph vacuum section is vented. The pressure gradient between both sections would "push" the structure of the spectrograph beam line towards the target chamber, producing critical damage in the bellows of the line.
