   - Close the valve to the roughing pump RV.    - Close the valve to the roughing pump RV. 
-  - Now you can plot the pressure at BPG to monitor the pressure before you open the vent valve. +  - Now you can plot the pressure vs time at BPG to monitor the pressure before you open the vent valve. 
   - **Keep a constant eye on the pressure level** as it increases rapidly. When it approaches 800 torr, **it is imperative that you close the venting valve.** Failure to do so will result in over-pressure in the chamber since it will continue to be filled with dry nitrogen.     - **Keep a constant eye on the pressure level** as it increases rapidly.

   * Section D2337 will initially be red with vacuum status: 'Bad vacuum'. This must turn to yellow with status 'Poor vacuum'. Wait for the pressure reading at BPG to drop to below 100 mTorr before you close RV and open FV.     * Section D2337 will initially be red with vacuum status: 'Bad vacuum'.
