- | TURNING S800 MAGNETS ON/OFF | ||
- | (under development) | ||
- | |||
- | The powering of the S800 magnets needs to follow three steps: | ||
- | |||
- | Arming of Dump Switch | ||
- | The power supply for each of the spectrograph dipoles has a dump switch that must be armed to send current through the dipoles. The dump switch is in place to protect the conductors inside the cryostat from melting in the event that the magnet becomes non-superconducting while energized with high current. | ||
- | When triggered, a dump switch provides a high-current short circuit path to dump the energy from the magnet. | ||
- | While designed to protect the magnet from a more expensive repair if the magnet quenches when energized, it is possible that the dump switch can get damaged if triggered because of the large amount of energy involved. | ||
- | |||
- | The Dump Switches of the two S800 dipoles are located in second level of S3 (see picture xxx). In order to arm the switches .xxxxx | ||
- | |||
- | Set S800 magnets currents to values of running setting | ||
- | Open the Panel Mate screen THallps | ||
- | Turn on S800 magnets by clicking in the box with the corresponding name (e.g. I228DS), followed by a click in the ON box. (Go through pages xxx to cover all magnets.) | ||
- | Go to page xxx and select the steering magnets: ONLY THE S800, xxxxxx. Note that some of the power supplies are connected to more than one steering magnet. If necessary, disable the steering magnet of the other line and enable the correct one. | ||
- | Load setting: | ||
- | Open Barney | ||
- | Select S3, followed by S800 (see picture) | ||
- | For each of the three segments (segments 6, 7 and 8), enter value of magnetic rigidity and click on the button Set setting (see picture) | ||

- | PREPARATION FOR TUNING | ||
- | In S3 vault | ||
- | Arm dump switches | ||
- | Make sure object ion gauge is off | ||
- | Go to page xx on Panel Mate xxx. Check status xxx | ||
- | | ||
- | Make sure gas bottles for FP detectors are open | ||
- | Make sure Intermediate PPACs have gas | ||
- | |||
- | In data-U | ||
- | Start Software tools | ||
- | PanelMates | ||
- | NMR GUIs | ||
- | Barney | ||
- | Labview Gas Handling System Controls | ||
- | Labview Bias Controls | ||
- | Alarm servers and monitors | ||
- | Linux HV controls (alarm server should be started first) | ||
- | SpecTcl (alart server should be started first) | ||
- | Run Control (in coordination with experimenters) | ||
- | Trigger Control GUI (in coordination with experimenters) | ||
- | Scalers (in coordination with experimenters) | ||
- | Put 10 Amps in Spectrograph dipoles | ||
- | |||
- | Start gas in detectors | ||
- | Refer to Section xx (S800 Focal Plane Gas Handling System Operation) | ||
- | |||
- | Enable crad04 with a rate limit of 20 kHz (crad04 looks at E1 up) | ||
- | If it does not interfere with experimenter preparation (see “Unreacted Beam” section below) | ||
- | Set spectrograph Brho | ||
- | Start scalers | ||
