 If a dipole is turned off or its field is being changed, the status shows either "Off" or "Unstable" and the program issues a beep. If this happens under running condition in data-taking mode, stop the beam and ask the operator to assist you in investigating the situation of the magnet giving the problem. The operators have the possibility to check on all magnet power supplies and helium fill levels in the control room. A magnet current below the set value, for example, is indicated in Barney as a blue circle on the respective optics element. The S800 Barney page with all magnets operational looks like that: If a dipole is turned off or its field is being changed, the status shows either "Off" or "Unstable" and the program issues a beep.

This last function is useful when the dipoles have been tweaked to adjust the position of the beam, leading to an unmatched pair of dipoles. Since matching the dipoles involves changing their fields, it is necessary to wait for the measuring loop to go over each dipole before the effect of matching can be observed

-Any of these connections can eventually be broken, and the program tries to catch the failures and report them to the user. However there are cases when the program hangs” and need to be manually aborted. The little heart displayed at the top left corner of the oscilloscope display indicates the liveliness of the EPICS loop, as well as the liveliness of the program itself. If the heart stops beating for more than 10 seconds, it probably means the program is frozen. To restart it, simply click on the program's icon again, which will kill the existing process and start a new one. +Any of these connections can eventually be broken, and the program tries to catch the failures and report them to the user.

 In case nothing happens after clicking on the icon, the connection to the NMR module is probably locked and needs to be freed. To free it, type the following from any shell window (actual typing show in this font ):  In case nothing happens after clicking on the icon, the connection to the NMR module is probably locked and needs to be freed.
