- 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. Adjust the chopper phasing for maximum current. The beam current should drop by a factor of 2 if you are on the proper peak.
