-- obsolete -- RFQ recovery procedure
incorporated into manual March 2014 - TA Date: June 17, 2003
Use the "Resetting the RF Control System" procedures first, as the RFQ control system has been changed to be similar to the other ISAC-I RF systems. Use the procedures below if the "Resetting the RF Control System" procedures are not successful.
(Concerning the RFQ control "glitch" last night, Zheng Ting gave me a crach course on recovering the RFQ control: In addition to the "RF Control recovery" instructions (see last post-it-ed ION book entry), also do this (if that did notwork):
- RF off first
- Go to RFQ tuner window and tweak the slider above the set point until the dial on the upper right of the NIM bin labeled "Tunner position" goes to ~40.
- Set the RFQ set point to ~500 to restart.
- Turn the RFQ on using the OFF - On button and wait until the digital dial above the computer screen goes to 35.36 Hz.
- Switch from "self excited" mode to "driven"
- If it does not work try 1-6 again after doing the RF control recovery procedures. It may take 2-3 times to work.
- Repeat ad nauseum.
