* Select the right probe by turning the “probe knob” (see figure below). Remember, each dipole has two probes: probe 4, covers fields in the range 0.34 – 1.05 T, and probe 5 covers fields in the range 0.7–2.1 T.

* If the field of that dipole happens to be close enough to the field that the NMR controller is looking at, Bingo! You’ll most likely see a resonance in the oscilloscope. In the most likely situation, however, your magnet is far away from the NMR search window and you will see only a flat line in the oscilloscope. | * If the field of that dipole happens to be close enough to the field that the NMR controller is looking at, Bingo!

For instance, in the s800 computer **u6pc5**, open the QtKM file BLSetup_A1900.gkm (connected to the "knob box") and use channel I265DS. |

* Set EPICS channel **I265DS_MAG.BSET** to 13.5454 (note, the default value of this channel is always an (impossible) 9999.1111, which is ignored. Typing 13.5454 will cause the magnet to go to 257.577 A, and **I265DS_MAG.BSET** goes back to 9999.1111.
