Have you all had the chance to hook up the Zurich lock-in amplifier to the target?

Hi Tyler,

There was a delay in condensing a new target.  The gas being used needed
to be purified.  I might be able to connect the cables this afternoon.
The Zurich Lock-In Amplifier will still be available for you to use in the
mean time.

Thanks,
Tom
