-===== Setting up Reaction Settings ===== 
- 
-  * Calculating reaction setting 
-      * Center unreacted beam at S800 FP 
-          * Adjust spectrograph Brho to center beam at S800 FP 
-          * Requirements for a beam to be “Centered” 
-              * Spectrograph dipoles matched 
-              * Beam position within about 1 cm of center as judges by 0 point on crdc1x spectrum or on track.xfp spectrum 
-          * Record run to disk to document centered unreacted beam setting 
-      * Calculate reaction setting using “effective” beam energy and the nominal target thickness 
-          * Ideally, experimenters should be the ones making this calculation 
-          * This approach assumes that the target thickness is known 
- 
- 
-  * Reaction setting to FP  
-      * Start with Attenuator setting of unreacted beam and step up in intensity 
-      * Set up beam blocker, if necessary 
-          * Expect to see unreacted beam if reaction setting is within +/- 3% of unreacted beam setting 
-          * Should have to move only one of the two blockers unless charge states are present 
-          * A graphic tool is available to help (not yet calibrated) 
-          * Try to cut only as much as necessary; depends on 
-              * What rate limits allow 
-              * What experimenters want (e.g., if they want singles, the cut has to be more restrictive to limit acquisition deadtime) 
-          * Move blocker, decrease attenuator, repeat
