Follow-up Re: Field Emission variations in 1L07
New NDX I400 unit at 1L07-1L08 behaves well, also improving the spread of the measured currents. The unit still needs to be Autobiased using the downtime today to make fine adjustments for the currents' biases. Other NDX units in NL show corrected biases close to zero (with the 1S01 unit with a small shift that may be corrected). In the SL, there's a similar case of 2L16, that has the largest current measurement spread, and may benefit from I400 replacement. Not a critical issue (don't have to "fix a working thing"). 2L06 would benefit from the autobiasing.
LOTO ARC5 Box Power Supply
MBF0L06 cycling limits fixed.
Figures attached show the magnet cycle has changed from 20 days ago (2026-07-01 compared to now 2026-07-21). The magnet was correctly cycling between 60A and 2A then and now it is cycling between 60A and -60A.
Figures 1 and 4 are now and Figures 2 and 3 show correct cycling sequence from 20 days ago
We changed the magnet limits from (-60A and +60A) to (2A and +60A).
Figure 5 shows that after changing the max and min limits the magnet cycle is working properly.
