This run was devoted to calibration of the MSE diagnostic. It involved firing the neutral beam into the torus filled with D2 to a pressure of ~1.3 mT, with various toroidal and vertical fields. The run went well although we didn't get as many shots as we would have liked; Some early problems having to do with dif- ferences in PLC vs hybrid control took 3 shots to resolve. We decided to use hybrid control in order to use previous settings for comparison.We did have a planned delay of 30 minutes to setup for spectra at 6.1 T, and this turned into an hour due to an access breach.Also there were a few shots where the beam either didn't fire or the pulse was too short for good data.In any event, we had 34 shots of which 25 were useful for calibration purposes. Engineering Setup and Run Plan 1040121 Purpose: MP#322 MSE Calibration Session leaders: Scott and Yuh Physop: Parker Engineering Setup: Power Supplies as on 1040121029 Fill B top with 6 psi D2, Hybrid Enabled All other gas valves Hybrid DISABLED DNB gate valve Enabled All other diagnostic valves DISABLED Run Plan In this run, the diagnostic neutral beam will be fired into the torus backfilled to a pressure of ~ 1.8 mTorr. Both TF and EF fields will be energized and the currents scanned as the run proceeds.

| Mar 4 2004 09:37:56:287AM | 1040304001 | Ron Parker | First shot was not setup properly for pulse gas. Repeat next shot. |
| Mar 4 2004 09:36:34:907AM | 1040304002 | Ron Parker | Another problem, PLC controller was set too low for EF 4 and TF current. Try again. |
| Mar 4 2004 09:49:12:477AM | 1040304003 | Ron Parker | TF field was slightly too high. The problem we've been having is that there is a small difference between hybrid and PLC control. Control is now on hybrid and we should be OK from here on. |
| Mar 4 2004 10:17:06:580AM | 1040304004 | Ron Parker | Shot 4 finally got everything right for the first shot of the run plan. Next shot: no EF, TF at 2.7 T (75 kA) |
| Mar 4 2004 10:19:16:383AM | 1040304005 | Ron Parker | We're on a roll, shot 5 ran according to the run plan's shot 2. Moving on to run plan's shot 3. TF = 2.7, EF3 = 1, EF4 = 5. |
| Mar 4 2004 10:23:57:367AM | 1040304006 | Ron Parker | Shot 3 on the run plan was run. Next: shot 4, TF = 2.7, EF3 = 6, EF4 = 5. |
| Mar 4 2004 10:37:44:423AM | 1040304007 | Ron Parker | Shot 7 ran according to runplan's shot 4. Next: Shot 6 on run plan: Tf = 5.4, EF3 = 0, EF4 =0 |
| Mar 4 2004 10:51:31:780AM | 1040304008 | Ron Parker | Shot 8 did what it was supposed to, namely shot 5 on runplan. Moving on to shot 6 on run plan: TF = 5.4, EF3 = 6, EF4 = 5. |
| Mar 4 2004 11:11:36:747AM | 1040304009 | Ron Parker | Shot 9 accomplished shot 6 on run plan. Next: Jump to shot 10 on runplan: TF =5.4, EF3 = 6, EF4 = 5. |
| Mar 4 2004 11:12:12:950AM | 1040304010 | Ron Parker | DNB didn't fire on that shot, so we'll repeat it. |
| Mar 4 2004 11:24:51:100AM | 1040304011 | Ron Parker | We got shot 10 on the run plan. Next: shot 9 on the runplan: TF = 5.4, EF3 = 1, EF4 = 5 |
| Mar 4 2004 11:39:20:660AM | 1040304012 | Ron Parker | Shot 9 on the run plan was accomplished. Next: shot 7 on the run plan, TF = 5.4, EF3 = 0, EF4 = -5 |
| Mar 4 2004 11:50:10:913AM | 1040304013 | Ron Parker | Shot 13 did not accomplished run plan's shot 7 as intended since the beam pulse was too short. We'll do it again. |
| Mar 4 2004 12:48:58:060PM | 1040304014 | Ron Parker | OK, we got run plan's shot 7, now we will run shot 8 on the run plan TF = 5.4, EF3 = 0, EF4 = 0. |
| Mar 4 2004 12:32:24:073PM | 1040304015 | Ron Parker | Shot 8 on the run plan was accomplished. Nest: Shot 12 on the run plan, TF = 5.4, Ef3 = 0, EF4 = 0. |
| Mar 4 2004 12:49:44:030PM | 1040304016 | Ron Parker | Ooops, session leader error, we need to repeat runplan's shot 12. |
| Mar 4 2004 12:47:47:823PM | 1040304017 | Ron Parker | We got shot 12, moving on to shot 11: TF = 5.4, EF3 = 0, EF4 = -5. |
| Mar 4 2004 12:58:15:713PM | 1040304018 | Ron Parker | shot 11 on the run plan was nailed, now move on ot shot 13: TF = 5.4, EF3 = 1, EF4 = 5 |
| Mar 4 2004 01:12:56:383PM | 1040304019 | Ron Parker | We got shot 13 on the run plan: TF=5.4 T, EF3=1 kA, EF4=5 kA Next shot: move on to shot 14: TF=5.4 T, EF3=6 kA, EF4=5 kA |
| Mar 4 2004 01:24:28:217PM | 1040304020 | Ron Parker | We got shot 14 on the run plan: TF=5.4 T, EF3=6 kA, EF4=5 kA Next shot: move on to shot 19: same PCS settings as 14, but with different MSE filter temp. |
| Mar 4 2004 01:38:21:727PM | 1040304021 | Ron Parker | We got shot 19 on the run plan: TF=5.4 T, EF3=6 kA, EF4=5 kA Next shot: move on to shot 17: TF=5.4 T, EF3=1 kA, EF4=5 kA |
| Mar 4 2004 02:02:04:537PM | 1040304022 | Ron Parker | MDS sequencer failed to init beam...we had to fire it manually. It worked, sort of. Beam pulse was 27 ms, but we'll take it and move on. Next shot: move on to shot 16: TF=5.4 T, EF3=0 kA, EF4=0 kA |
| Mar 4 2004 02:09:39:950PM | 1040304023 | Ron Parker | We got shot 16 on the run plan: TF=5.4 T, EF3=0 kA, EF4=0 kA Next shot: move on to shot 15: TF=5.4 T, EF3=0 kA, EF4=-5 kA |
| Mar 4 2004 02:22:23:457PM | 1040304024 | Ron Parker | We didn't get the shot, the DNB timed out before firing. Try again. |
