h3. Setup Apparatus
- Use FCM column from last semester
- Hook up pressure sensor to bottom of column
h3. Process Controller
- Gemma will setup program to empty column when full
- Regulate data through PC
h3. For Next Week
- Get setup complete
- Make sure PC is regulating data and emptying column when necessary

h3. Process Controller
- Gemma and Ian set up the process controller over the weekend but empty state was not working correcting and the value shut off after it opened.
- Monroe helped solve the problem by creating a new empty state
- Problem with previous old state unknown
h3. Running Experiment
- Filled the bucket and set up the automated process controller to collect data
- Pressure data is being collected per second
h3. Next Week
- Analyze collected data
- Make necessary changes to set up (position pressure value so it cannot be moved)
- Run a test with a know initial level of water in clay pot

h3. New Setup
- Attached pressure sensor at the bottom of collection bucket
- Will manually empty bucket when it fills
- Determined that the clay pot will not affect the water level in the collection bucket
h3. Process Controller
-Fixed pressure sensor issue (pressure not being recognized by process controller)
-Deleted "Empty" state
-No longer automated, locked in manual "data collection state"
h3. Next Week
