  113   Thursday, June 28, 2012, 15:14 Aurelia Laxdal LP-FEBIAD     Quick check

Just a quick check at the Test Stand:

1. The system operational (  white out not present ) with TSH:TBHT heating in progress.

2. Started the Archivers: for Source and Optics.

3. Removed bypass on TSH:SV5 since it's not necessary anymore.

4. Currently: TSH:TBHT=107A

  114   Thursday, June 28, 2012, 17:00 Pierre Bricault LP-FEBIAD    In progressCathode heater reached its value of 230 A and stoped. good test.

Now ramp cathode current up to 290 A. The total current out is 1.e-7 A.

 

  115   Thursday, June 28, 2012, 17:18 Pierre Bricault LP-FEBIAD    In progressLeave the cathode heater at 275 A overninght.
  116   Friday, June 29, 2012, 08:57 Pierre Bricault LP-FEBIAD    In progressContinue cathode heating

 This morning the pressure was 3.5E-7 T. Current at 275 A is 30nA.

Continue cathode heating to 290 A during meeting.

Start seeing some electron current from the cathode around 275 A.

A short in the anode has developed during the heater ramp up. Increasing the current limit did not cure it. Start heater ramp down to investigate.
