Sending beam to a new destination

Steps

Check the MPS Device Configuration Guideline for power limits and special notes

Calculate beam power with the physics calculator

Configure chopper

Configure MPS

Coordinate with AP for whether cavities need monitoring

Calculate thresholds in Diag MPS page

Using the new beamloss threshold configuration tool

Configure DCCTs if needed

Setting DCCTs

Set beam inhibit mode

Send beam

Notes From Shane :)

Link/ Explanation to MPS DEvice Configuration guideline could be helpful, long term this also should be acquird info

phys calc isn't really necessary with the beam power calc on MPS operator, worth a mention and probably easier to use for newer operator

Also the importance of double checking Energy and Stripping eff especially would be a good tip

note that cw is 100hz, 9950us

wouldn't include cavitiy monitoring, AP normally asks for this and immediately wants it done so it can be done in the moment without any surprise, also this opens the can of worms on how to accomplish this without explaining it

You don't calculate anything in the Diag page, do you mean 5521 and Scott's tool?

DCCTs are only for going past the target, generally I'd leave that as a separate section as you otherwise need to get into the weeds with checking the ARIS post etc.

I'd probably do inhibit modes earlier, not a huge issue but similar to prev notes it's a bigger issue that I think could use more detail
