Bleedthrough Script Testing Complete
I encountered a bug with Hall D nominal current reporting -2492 nA which appears to be a result of the background being measured as 2.724 uA. Looking at the LivePlot I had running during the background measurement preceding the Hall D nominal current measurement, it doesn't appear that the Faraday cup was actually measuring anywhere near what the script reports. I suspect it may be measuring 0.002724 uA and erroneously multiplying this by a factor of 1000, perhaps due to the new update for reporting the nominal current measurements for low current halls in nA.

State of the machine
Injector is in Beam Permit. North Linac, South Linac, and BSY are in Power Permit. Halls B, C, D, and D Tagger are in Restricted Access. ATLis 121132 (https://tasklists.jlab.org/atlis/tasks/121132) is underway in the South Linac. SWList 120485 (https://tasklists.jlab.org/swlist/tasks/120485) is underway in the Injector.
At the request of DC Power all 10 A trims beyond 1D have been set to zero current, and all 20 A trims have been set to zero current and turned off.
LERF is in Power Permit, likely for the duration of the shift.

"Testing Bleedthrough Script"
All 10 A Trims Set to 0 A, 20 A Supplies Turned Off
At the request of DC Power, via Director of Operations, I zeroed the current for all 10 A trims apart from those required for running to the 1D dump and turned off the supplies for all 20 A trims. All rack supplies were left on, per request.
Fig 1-6: Trim Rack Summary as found, when all trims outside the injector were zeroed, and after all downstream of 0I06A were zeroed, interleaved with the configuration for the Global Trim Control script at each step.
