HV and Heaters Conditioning for SiC#30 was completed Friday, May 23, 2014. The target was cooled down and it's ready for the on-line installation.

As per Friedhelm the conditioning settings are:

TGHT 580A

TBHT 290A

COIL 80A

ANODE 200V

Ramped up completed:

TGHT 580A/5.683V

TBHT 242A/2.295V (EPICS settings) and 289A/2.29V at the PS

COIL 80A

Current on the Anode = 13.431mA

As per ISK4562 Rev 3 and ISK4563 Rev 3

By Ray D. and co.

The ground connection between B and F (ISK4523D Rev 6) was found burnt off. It will be switched out as per CATHODE BIAS configuration (ISK4563D Rev 3) by Ray D.

Restarted archivers.

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

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 .

NOTE:

TBHT Power Supply is 600A. EPICS thinks it is 500. Multiply current setting with 1.2 for actual current to the tube.
