7. Calibration scan
   1. • FFB ON
      • to 40-50uA
      • SAMs HVs set
      • DETs HVs set
      • PITA scan at end to check det linearities later
8. BMW
   1. • tune beam, slow lock on (ad FFB on?), exercise BMW, check no ion chamber trips, check pauses locks and FFB
      • low current 2-3uA, exercise BMW, check BPM signals, check no ion chamber issues
      • target in, low current 2-3uA,exercise BMW, check BPM signals, check no ion chamber issues
      • "ready for high current"

1. Check the following has been performed
   • 50uA-70uA beam current, through Compton (backgrounds on fingers and Compton photon detector) with no target
   • Establish 4x4 raster. Insert lead target. (low current, ramp up. check collimator water, vary raster size 4x6?)
   • Set Detector and SAM voltages (Dustin M)
2. Check Conditions OK
   • collimator water
   • thermocouple temperatures
   • radiation monitors
   • ion chamber stability
3. Setup Locks (these are necessary for main detectors and SAM calibration)
   • Slow Target Lock on 4A, 4E (jmenu->"slow locks"-> Orbit Locks Expanded View -> HallATGT)
   • Fast feedback for HallA on (iocse9)
   • If beam is going through Compton, HallAComLock should probably be on
4. Coordinate
   • Should Compton and Moller DAQ be running during calibration?
   • Dustin and Devi examining SAMs and Detectors with online analyzer during calibration
   • Juan Carlos/Amali/Adam monitor Compton background rates and run the DAQ?
   • Ye puts Cavity BPMs in high current mode (opsl01 -> menubar->EDM->BPM->BPM Diagnostics DR(12GeV)->HallA BCMs B,C,D -> button -> Expert Controls -> HWReg button -> DACSL1 = 0x1 / 0x1 and DACSL2 = 0x1 / 0x1 -> back out to previous screen XVGA2 = 0 and YVGA2 =0 (for low current do 0x0 and VGA2=30). Do for all 3 BPM Cavs.
5. Calibration Procedure A: with UNSER
   • start at 70uA for 1min (scandata1==value in BCM0l02)
   • beam off
   • wait for 5sec(for unser to equilibrate), take unser pedestal data point for 30sec (scandata1=0)
   • beam on at 75uA
   • check slow target lock is in position
   • check FFB on for HallA
   • check no bpms are saturated on iocse9
   • wait for 5sec(for unser to equilibrate), take next data point for 1min
   • repeat for 65uA,60uA,55uA,50uA,40uA,30uA,20uA,10uA
6. Calibration Procedure B: with pre-calibrated Hall BCM (analog upstream bcm)
   • start at 70uA for 1min (scandata1==value in BCM0l02)
   • change current to 75uA
   • check slow target lock is in position
   • check FFB on for HallA
   • check no bpms are saturated on iocse9
   • take next 1min data point
   • repeat for 65uA,60uA,55uA,50uA,40uA,30uA,20uA,10uA
7. Calibration Procedure C: for BPMs (Compton bpms not yet calibrated)
   • at 70uA, set gains off for iocse9,iocse10 (Hall) iocse11,iocse12,iocse19,iocinse4 (Inj)
   • perform Calibration Procedure B with pre-calibrated Hall BCM
