intro: this doc will walk you through starting up the RGA, gathering data, and sending it off for qualification. It assumes you are using an MKS brand RGA.

Qualification: Always go through Peter Stefan.

He is the official arbiter of chamber qualification, and he must have the final say. 

You must send Peter the RGA data file (on electron multiplier mode and accuracy 6) along with a CCG pressure reading (taken during data collection). 

If you do not do this, the chamber is not considered qualified from an administrative controls standpoint, and you will have bad luck for seven years. 

highest pressure for RGA use: 7.6E-6 torr
