Engineering setup for Wednesday 21 Nov 2007

MP#298a: Plasma startup

Physics operator: R. Granetz

If the Tuesday evening leak checking is successful, then we should do as
much ECDC in D2 as possible overnight, and bake at 60 C.

Run will start at as soon as the leak checking (if still necessary) is
finished on Wednesday morning, and end at 17:00.

Power systems as on 1071120031

Note: we may want to do between-shot ECDC. 

A-coil configuration: +Dtop -Dbot -Jtop +Jbot; Enabled (standard
configuration)

Gas Setup:
   fill B-Top            with  6 psi D2  Hybrid enabled  (PG4)
   fill B-side lower     with  1 psi Ar  Hybrid DISABLED (PG1)
  leave B-side upper     as is           Hybrid DISABLED (PG2)   
   fill B-main (C-side)  with 40 psi D2  Hybrid enabled  (PG3)
  leave NINJA            as is           DISABLED

Enable the following gate valves and shutters, assuming no vacuum problems:
  ECE
 
Torvac setup: gate valves open after the shot

Specific diagnostics: plasma TV (wide1, wide2)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ICRF Setup: no

LH Setup: no

DNB: no

Cryopump: no

Run plan: Assuming we find the leak, then begin the run by loading from
          shot 1071120031 (all segments).  We'll then have several
          principal tasks to accomplish: 

           1) Bang away until we get reproducible breakdown and rampup.
           2) Update the DPCS to use the correct estimators for the newly
               replaced flux loops (F10, F11, F19).
           3) Clean up the machine by running lots of plasmas.
