    Since August/8 (9:00):
    The pump motor is running almost continously.

    Since August/1:
    The "goosing" continues (even at lower outside temperature).
    The difference between glycol-supply and glycol-return is unusually large, indicating a low glycol flow. Since the pump motor has recently been replaced, a faulty impeller might be the cause.

    July/29:

    Glycol: I=0.3
    

    July/27:
    A power-cycle of the PLC (when the instrument was moved from storage to the telescope platform) appears to have fixed the temperature control.

    Since July/11:

    Glycol: Pg=2.0, I=0.3, F=-0.400+0.0470*(SetP-Tout)+"GTC"
    GTC = (glycol_supply-glycol_return-0.410)/2 - 0.021*MAX(0,Tout-17.0)
    Air: Pa=15.0, Da=10.0
    DHT = +0.270
    PMT = -0.105
    LN2(bank) = 0.75
    LN2(cap) = 0.65
