<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Amtek has been very helpful – they sent video of their test stand showing filament warmup & cooldown timing & have answered other interlock & timing questions</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Temperature regulation PLC code is working well (chiller in Area 51 supplies ~10C water to transmitter heat exchanger & has bang-bang water flow solenoid control)</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Solenoid magnet power supply is operational, the power supply is 4-20 mAmp control to 480 VAC phase angle so it is nonlinear (not simple current regulated PS), the readout has been
calibrated with external current meter & is spot on (nominal current is 5.7 Amps)
</li></ul>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Filament power supply is also phase angle controlled so I have been very careful with scaling (w/HV ON - 120 Amps on filament = zero power out, 80 Amps = full output power of 75 kWatts
@915MHz) I programmed interlock to ensure filament is at 120 Amps to permit HV to be energized. This will be cross checked & calibrated today as well</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">HV testing today with 480 VAC OFF (there are two remote operated 480 VAC breakers one for HV & the other for everything else) – I will test all interlocks & timings prior to actually
putting HV on the tube</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">I plan to make RF tomorrow & snoop for any waveguide leakage (there are two waveguide pressure interlocks @1 PSI)</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">When commissioning is complete I will modify the “Commissioning OSP” to an “Operations OPS”</li></ul>
