power tests went quite well today, with all but the TF tests successfully completed.

The TF tests were not done, because the TF scanner is not operational.

Shot#3: THe first shot will be an efc test. Bill wants to run
it like 1060207008, which had the software fizzle detector disabled. 
I will load this one and let them run it. 
Since it is so old I need to recalculate all the predictors, 
in case some of the diagnostics don't exist anymore. 

Also, the po signin gave me trouble signing in.

Shot#3: Recalculate all the magnetic predictors in segs 1 and 2. 
Zero segs 3 and 4 (won't be using those, but I don't want to leave 
them around. 

When we're through with the efc tests, I want to bring back the
model from 1090619001 (as at the beginning, to be sure we have a 
modern setup.)

Should be ready to go, I hope.

Shot#3: EFC test, with dpcs_fizzle procedure turned off, 
based on 1060207008 (but with different PLC voltage limits)

Earl came in and tried to bring up Pcs on cmodwsd50 and got errors 
in evaluating mds expressions, wrong ELF type, looks like it can't find
the 64bit mdslibraries or an ldconf.so problem.

Also complained couldn't find the model files. 

I exited pcs and got  back in, it found the files fine. 
Should be ok for this shot, but I'll reload them again 
just in case.

Shot#3: EFC test, with dpcs_fizzle procedure turned off, 
based on 1060207008 (but with different PLC voltage limits)

Shot ran, efc pulse looks ok to me; the issue in 2006 was that 
they wanted to see a soft turn off, and the f.d. was giving 
something else.  I may actually have fixed that at some point, 
but this should look just like the 1060207 pulse.

Shot#4: EFC test, with dpcs_fizzle procedure turned off, 
based on 1060207008 (but with different PLC voltage limits)

Same shot with higher voltage limit on PLC. Looks ok to me.

Shot#5: EFC test, with dpcs_fizzle procedure turned off, 
based on 1060207008 (but with different PLC voltage limits)

Same shot with higher voltage limit on PLC.
looks ok

Bob is reporting a number  of bad flux loop signals
including f12. 


Jun 19 2009 10:15:37:643AM1090619006Steve Wolfe
Shot#6: EF2 test under plc control. 
The most recent set of power system tests were
1071120, and this was before the declaration 
that the flux loops had been fixed, so predictor recalculations 
will be required in any case. 

The acoil test that Gary and Bill want to use is
1070801004. This one has seg 1 only on and a programmed
acoil current with a two level waveform that only goes over 
1000 amps for a brief time. I don't think this will be
satisfactory, but we can try it. At least it still has the 
dpcs_fizzle on!

I will recalc the seg 1 predictors just in case, and zero the 
segs 2-4. 



Jun 19 2009 10:20:45:520AM1090619007Steve Wolfe
Shot#7: EF2L test under plc control. 

Induced current in ef3 and the ef4's. 

For the next shot, I have loaded acoil waveform based on
1070801004 in seg1, with all the magnetics loops reconnected. 
I expect the acoil will only give about 400A, but maybe ok. 

I have zeroed all the wires in segs2-4. Only seg1 is used on
this shot. 

I have also removed the dpcs_xjump and dpcs_gas_jet procedures,
left dpcs_ftae2 installed but off. Dpcs_fizzle and baseline_sub
are active.

Next shot will be the first acoil test, and will use this program.

Shot#8: Acoil test looks ok, 600A or so. 

I'll exit and Earl will take over.
