-  - Slowly turn up the ionizer heater. ​  The ionizer operates at 21 amperes. It should take about 2 minutes to reach 21 A from the standby value of 10 A. Keep in mind that the amperage ​will fall slightly as the ionizer gets warmer. ​ Keep adjusting the current until the ionizer is stable at 21 A. +  - Slowly turn up the ionizer heater. ​  The ionizer operates at 21 amperes.

-  - Set the cesium reservoir heater to 0.380. This should be enough to give ones of microamps beam for p and d.    A setting of about 0.400 - 0.420 should produce tens of microamps. Cs vaporization starts at a temperature of ~80° Celsius. ​  The maximum reservoir temperature should not exceed ​100° Celsius. The reservoir current should not exceed 0.500 +  - Set the cesium ​**reservoir** heater to 0.285.

Cs vaporization starts at a temperature of ~80° Celsius. ​  The maximum reservoir temperature should not exceed ​130° Celsius. The reservoir current should not exceed 0.300. 
-  - Set the Glassman extractor power supply to 12.5 KV. Check to be sure the current is less than about 5 milliamps and the "​control ​milliampres" light is NOT lit. High current indicates that the source needs serviced. +  - Set the Glassman ​**extractor** power supply to 12.5 KV. Check to be sure the current is less than about 5 milliamps and the "​control ​milliamperes" light is NOT lit. High current indicates that the source needs to be serviced.

-  - Tune the beam with the inflection magnet, source lens (usually about 1.5 kV), lens A, and 2Y steerer.+  - Set the Glassman **lens** power supply to 1.5 kV
 +  - Tune the beam with the inflection magnet, source lens (usually about 1.5 kV), einzel ​lens A, and 2Y steerer.  The 2X steerer should be near neutral (5.00 on dial) as X steering is be done by the inflection magnet at this stage.
   - Monitor the target and extractor currents: target current should be around 2.5 milliamps, and no more than 5 mA.   - Monitor the target and extractor currents: target current should be around 2.5 milliamps, and no more than 5 mA.
