V-Wien temperature readouts
Figure s 1 and 2 show the V-Wien temperature PVs in Celsius along with the V-Wien voltage and magnet PVs.
The chiller temperature set point was changed from 22 to 18 C on 01-21-2026 at 13:00.
There seems to be very little change in temeprature vs. magnet current with the new chiller temperature set point.
Injector vacuum response to Wien angle polarity changes
When the V-Wien spin rotation angle is changed from +90 to -90 deg, this executes the following commands:
1. Set the output voltages to zero in each HVPS
2. Set the magnet current from +16 to - 16 A, executing the hysteresis loop
3. HV switcher chassi polarity flip
4. Ramp each PS from 0 to 18 kV
Step 1 is executed without slow ramp. This seems to trigger pressure spikes in the injector beamline. See figure 1, and figure 2 for a zoom in time.
I suggest to implement a slow ramp down / ramp up (similar to that fot the gun HVPS) to each of the Wien HVPS.

Wien temperature readbacks
Claire has updated the Wien thermcouple Labjack PVs with the room temperature readout correction factor. Now each of the 2 Thermocuples PVs in each Wien filter are reporting expected temperature values.
Next step is to add these PVs to their corresponding Wien controls screen. I will coordinate this with Claire.

Chopper 2 Setup
The procedure works well to get everything lined up on the 0I05 viewer. I was topping out on the available 2Y gradient, so the 0I05 beam spots aren't directly on top of one another, but I'll fix that in the next stage where I'm getting collinearity roughed in on viewers. Seems like I'm chopping too hard with 1Y.
It may be useful to rearrange some steps to get the beams visible (not on top of one another) on 0I05 and only THEN insert the master slit to check that you aren't losing beam on it.

Chopper 1 Setup
After establishing laser phases, I proceed to set the rough amplitudes. The X amplitude is set to the 130 px specified in the procedure, but I have found that my prior chopper setups had a Y amplitude that produced (that I recall) about 135 px, so I am running with that. Rather than addingâas the procedure statesâ90 degrees to the 1Y phase after establishing the diagonal, I subtracted 90 degrees to produce the correctly oriented beams. Adding 90 as the procedure states produces a flipped configuration with B on the bottom and A/C/D on the top.
Laser Phase Setup
I have found that the chopper setup goes smoother if one phases all the chopped lasers to the same position via the X fit of adviewer and then adds 120 or 240 to the appropriate laser phases. The initial position is established by maximizing the Y fit of the B beam wrt laser phase. I think this may be further refined by adjusting chopper gangphases to maximize transmission through the master slit or hall B slit to FC1 once one has roughly dechopped beam.
Steering to 1D and Centering Through Chopper
Loaded allsave 26468 to match the extant Wien settings and zeroed chopper phases.
Centering through MFD0I04 is easier on the 0I05 viewer. Centering through MFD0I04 takes beam pretty far off the center of the master slit reference hole. I decided steer to the center of both and split the difference as my final orbit. I prioritized centering through MFA0I05 over MFX0I05 as the MFX is at a comparably negligible field.
