Day 79

Morning
I needed to finish up the changes that I made to my beam pattern document so it would be ready for the meeting in the afternoon. Tim moved it up to 1:00 in the tech center. I continued to fill out the sections in the basic beam patterns part. It was difficult to figure out what needed to be written down and what was useless. Tony was working on a new control scheme for EBW4. He was out tuning PID's and watching their output during arc downs.

Afternoon
I got the document done in just enough time to eat my lunch and print off several copies. We walked over to the conference room. The building reminds me of something from campus, but the room itself was nice. They had a decent board table and two dozen nice office chairs. Ken Hansen had a lot of really got insights on the different options for beam control. Tim had done some research on different options, but most of them just fell off. It looks like Ken will be on his own for the S8 upgrade, then we'll use his attempts as a building block / test bed. That was kind of the end of my involvement in beam patterns. I took David back his PLC card and called it a day.
