 **2.	Corona Probe Adjustment**
-After reaching the approximate desired terminal voltage with no corona current present, begin moving the corona points in.  Maintain the desired approximate terminal voltage by increasing the UPCHARGE and iteratively move the corona points in while restoring the terminal voltage with the UPCHARGE.  The CORONA PROBE CURRENT will rise until it reaches the value set by the BIAS CURRENT.  After that, the GRID VOLTAGE will change to keep the CORONA PROBE CURRENT at the set value.  The goal is to balance the UPCHARGE and CORONA PROBE POSITION so that you have the desired TERMINAL VOLTAGE and **-5** VDC on the GRID VOLTAGE (The GRID VOLTAGE may never reach -5 VDC when running at ultra low Terminal energy, E < 0.300 MV, do the best you can).  Do (a) or (b) as needed:

 a.	Move the CORONA PROBE POSITION “IN” to make the GRID VOLTAGE more negative.  This may require you to adjust the UPCHARGE to maintain TERMINAL VOLTAGE.

 b.	Slowly raise the CONTROL GAIN to 2-3 for low current beams, around 5 for high current beams.  The system is now controlling in GVM mode.

+c.	Make fine adjustments to the TERMINAL VOLTAGE Dial to reach exactly the desired GVM value.  Very fine adjustments to the terminal voltage can be made using the FINE control located coaxial to the BIAS CURRENT control with a full range of 1.5 KV.
 d.	Switch OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION to ENABLE.
+e.      Do accelerator header and collect the NMR frequency and analyzer magnet current values.

+a.      Use the magnet predictor tool and set Quad 1 to the predicted value.  Do not make large abrupt changes to the Quad 1 current.  If a large abrupt change in current is attempted, the power supply may begin oscillating.  To stop this oscillation, run the current slider to zero then re-adjust to the desired current at a slower non-abrupt rate.
 b.	Tune beam and send it around the properly configured Analyzing Magnet.

 e.	When in AUTO control the machine will go back to GVM control anytime the beam is interrupted.
+**5.	Dipole Magnet Setup Instructions**
+ a. Confirm that the Heinzinger power supplies are powered ON in the Small Target Room with the following LED's illuminated:  Red "ON", and Green "Remote".  If Off, Press the "Local/Remote" button to "Local"; then "Stby" then "On"; then "Local/Remote" to "Remote".
+ b. If not already visible on the control room computer screen, start the appropriate software GUI's using the "Restart" button for "analyzer, switcher, swinger, or tweaker" magnets.
+ c. In the "Switcher_hz422" and "Analyzer_hz422" GUI windows, magnet beam deflection (left/right) is indicated on the "Magnet Current" line indicated as beam "left or right". The polarity can be toggled using the "Polarity" button located to the right of the "Lock" button.  When the "Polarity" button is pressed, the magnet current will automatically be set to zero and the polarity will reverse when the new magnet current is set.  The "Swinger_hz422" and "Tweaker" have no polarity reversal button.
+ d. Run the slider to the desired current.
