[Dsg-hallb_magnets] IDCCT scaling in labview

[Tyler Lemon]

Hello, 

The cRIO is back online. 

I seem to be having a problem with GitHub, which is what caused the delay. I will be sending another email with a description of the issue soon. 

Best regards, 
Tyler

Hello Ruben and Nick, 

It seems to be taking longer than expected to get the program back up running. It will be more than my initial estimate of 15 minutes.

Perfect. I just made the change in the PLC. 

Thanks, 

Nick
