Wednesday, December 04, 2013, 09:21 : Turbos stopped. Vacuum at  1.2E-7 Torr

Wednesday, December 04, 2013, 15:26: Vacuum at  5E-6 Torr


Thursday, December 05, 2013

Impedance measured on TGHT and TBHT (~2.5 mOhm and ~2.0 mOhm). Readback on TBHT gives an impedance of ~2.5 mOhm. This is higher than the previous test. Local current on TBHT shows 60A more than the readback at 300A.  The vacuum did not come down as low as usual, which likely means there is a leak.

Started March 31, 2014:

- did the HV conditioning up to 30kV.

April 1, 2014:

- started the Heaters Conditioning. 

Heaters Conditioning finished.

The Power Supplies front panel:

 

TGHT: 5.56V and 580A

TBHT: 2.23V and 227A

April 2, 2014:

 

- did a mass scan. NOTE: data is shifted by 10-15%.

plotdump-local-clean.txt_Apr2_14_16-33-19.txt

 

After the scan finished I found the Test Stand EPICS screens whited-out. Decided with Friedhelm to leave it as it was for the night and to contact Controls next day to reboot it without tripping the heaters and the HV.

April 3, 2014:

Found everything recovered. Except: “SOURCES ARCH IS RUNNING” was red. So, I restarted it. Jane Richards and Friedhelm didn’t do any IOC reboot. Also found that the data from yesterday’s scan was saved (see the previous scan).

Did another mass scan:  plotdump-local-clean.txt_Apr3_14_10-18-13.txt

NOTE: data is shifted by 10-15%.

Cooling down .

HV and Heaters Conditioning had finished. The target was cooled down and it's ready for the on-line installation.
