The target assembly did not pass the megger test between anode and heat shield after the previous conditioning. The AlN insulators were found to have failed during the conditioning. The coil insulation was burnt. AlN insulators and anode ware replaced.

The read back of the ANODE current was confirmed to be working today with help of Ray D. using a 1kOhm resistor. There is an offset in the read back which can explain why no current was seen on SiC#30. The resistor between CATHODE and GND was changed from 100 kOhm to 50kOhm.
