Day 42

Morning
I spent some time working on my back panel drawing. I added in the Ethernet switch and the Sola power supply for that switch. With those additions in, I went back to the stirring coil panel layout and made a few updates that Jim wanted, then I took that down to him so he could have a look.

Afternoon
EBW 4 is almost ready to rumble, so I went out to watch the beam go. First Tony was checking the bombardment voltage and current, then he tried to get a beam, but there was a discrepancy between the voltage and current on the 480 panel and on the controls. After some tinkering in the high voltage cage, it seems that the current transformers were not wrapped the right number of times, so the panel is under reading by a factor of five. Jim is going to fix that in the morning and we'll try again.
