Subject: ISIS emittance rig tests this morning 

Keerthi and I were front and centre doing ISIS emittance rig testing this morning. He ran it, and I tried to find ways to run the data in Matlab afterwards. Main limitation up there at the ISIS Console is lack of any ssh-enabled terminals. Keerthi's wireless laptop is okay, but this stuff pushes the poor little thing to the edge. Plus, there were some X display issues on it. He has Matlab installed locally, but it takes a bit of a rocket scientist to run it, and once you do get it going, Matlab complains that the data file format is incorrect. We believe it's a matter of line endings: Windows versus the rest of the unix/Linux/Mac/VMS world. So it goes. All in all, a successful morning. There is enough data to think about how it all works, and we have a couple of hours of R&D again tomorrow morning before production beam. I'll put in a few emittance panels here in a while. Keep in mind that these are with beams on the order of mA, not nA!

Meanwhile, OLIS and the Supernanogan were off overnight in preparation for transformer tap selection for the sake of the CSB. See WP#2009-07-07-7 for more details.Turbos were turned off in preparation for attaching 17O and 18O source gases. Both are attached now, and valved off presently. I restarted the Supernanogan with about a nA of 18O2+ at FC6. Let it cook for a bit.
