   - If on the **Physics Calc** page, look at the bottom left of the page for //Atten. Power Calc//. On **MPS Operator** you will find this in the upper right, under the //Beam Power// and //Super Convenient Controls// panels.
   - If you want to predict __Power__ using __Current__, use //Attenuation Power Calc//. If you want to predict __Current__ using your desired __Power__, click //Atten. Current Calc// directly to the right of //Atten. Power Calc//.

   - Depending on your menu selection for Step 3, you'll have to find one of the following, which can be found in the following location:
-      - __1102 Current uA__ - FRIB Launcher -> Diag Operator. Look down into //Faraday Cups// and find //1102//.
+      - __1102 Current uA__ - FRIB Launcher -> Diag Operator. Look down into //Faraday Cups// and find //1102//. **Note:** If you're on __MPS Operator__ there will be an automatic readback that gets the value from //1102// and displays a constantly updating power estimation.
       - __Power__ - Consult limits or desired power from other sources
   - From there, ensure all values are properly entered, then consult the calculated bottom value,
