    - Adjust 2X for maximum current for the maximum current. ​  You usually need to adjust both 2Y and 2X together to find the maximum.    - Adjust 2X for maximum current for the maximum current. ​  You usually need to adjust both 2Y and 2X together to find the maximum.
    - Change ​ to f/2. Adjust the chopper phasing for maximum current. ​ The beam current should drop by a factor of 2 if you are on the proper peak.   For best current tune both the 2X and chopper phasing.    - Change ​ to f/2.
