 +  * **Troubleshooting**: if a power supply cannot be turned on from PanelMate, check that the power supply module is ON. The modules for all S800 magnets are located in the S3 vault on the middle level under the stairs to the top level (see figure below). If all the modules seem to be running properly, but the problem persists, contact the operators in Control Room, ext. 305.

 +===== Set magnet currents individually ===== 
 +The values of currents for the different magnets can be modified individually by clicking the button "details" in the Barney page (see upper-right corner in figure above). A list of magnets with their corresponding currents will be displayed as shown in the figure below. To change the current of a given magnet (e.g. I265DS), go to column **Read Amps** and click in the "cell" corresponding to the magnet (see red circle in figure below). A new window will pop-out; enter the new value of the current (e.g. 10 A) and click "Apply".
