    August 18:
    The 'I' term had been "stuck" at its maximum value of '1.0'. I am helping the system to recover by manually setting the 'I' term back to '0'.

    Glycol: I=0.3
    

    August 17:
    Running with some spares and external power supplies. The enclosure is warming up towards the operating temperature.

    August 16:
    More troubleshooting ...

    August 15 (18:00):
    Sensors indicate the instrument is getting very warm -- Shutdown PLC and entire electronics
    All sensors are at unreasonable values (with some noise), the motor running at max. power, but supposedly no flow.

    August 15 (11:00):
    No noise on the data -- still all readouts are constant -- Power cycle PLC.
    Now there's noise but the temperatures are very high (table=26.8, dewar=30, inside air=29)

    August 14 (15:00):
    Some PLC tests (not sure what excactly is done), but now all values are basically constant

    Since August/12:

    Glycol: I=1.0
    

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

    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
