The following procedures suppose that you use the remote control interface (i.e. Cryo Control Panel; CCP).  When you use the front panel of the magnet PS, some button operations are different.

Things to-do

1. We should get the information of Clamped/Reate-Limit/Quench from the Mercury-iPS to the VI
2. We need to be able to ramp-down 0A with 0.5A/m rate, so there should be a preset for that.
3. Need a manual override in the VI.
4. We need a power-indicator on the shim power supply.  These are the shim-coil-power indicators.
5. We need a field indicator in the cave.

...

1. Confirm that the shim PS is powered ON (if you can go in the hall).
   
   
   
2. Press "To Zero", to confirm that CCP can communicate with the magnet PS.
   
   
   
3. Press the Toggle button of the main switch heater.  It turns on the main switch heater and also the two shim switch heaters.
   1. When you use the PS front panel, you have to press additionally the two buttons of the shim switch heaters on CCP, to turn them on.
      
      
      
      
      
4. Confirm that the two LEDs on the shim PS are ON (if you can go into the hall).
   
   
   
5. Set "2 A/m" and "45 A".
   1. You can use the "Presets" selector, or enter the values into the text boxes.

6. Press "To Set" and wait until the current becomes the set point (SP) and "HOLD".  It takes 23 minutes.
   
   
   After ~23 minutes.
   
   
   
7. Set "1 A/m" and "63 A".
   
   
   
8. Press "To Set" and wait until the current becomes the SP and "HOLD".  It takes 18 minutes.
   
   
   After ~18 minutes
   
   
   
9. Set "0.5 A/m" and "74.51 A".
   
   
   
10. Press "To Set" and wait until the current becomes the SP and "HOLD".  It takes 24 minutes.
    
    
    After ~24 minutes
    
    
    
    
11. Switch to the persistent mode, if you want. Follow the steps in the next section.

1. If this is a ramping-down for the first time after a long time (i.e magnet was ramped-up after a long time since it was turned-OFF), then you should verify the magnetic field as the first step.
   Skip to the Step #2 if this is not the case.
2. Verify that the shim PS (the bottom one in the following picture) is powered ON.  If not, turn it on and check why it was off.
   1. This step is not necessary at present, since we keep the shim PS ON during the commissioning.

3. Confirm that the main and shim switch heaters are OFF.  If not, something is wrong. Also, the two LED bulbs Z1 and ZY-Z2 are OFF (see the bottom module of the above picture).
   
   
   
4. Set "74.78 51 A", using the Presets selector.  The ramp rate becomes "0.5 A/m" but it will not matter.
   
5. Press "To Set" and wait until the current becomes the SP and "HOLD".  It takes 2.5 minutes.
       → after ~2.5 minutes →    
   
   

6. Confirm that "Clamped" nor "Quench" is "No" on the VI.  not red (if you can go into the hall).
   
   
   

7. Press the Toggle button of the main switch heater.  It turns on both the main and shim switch heaters.
   
   
   
   When you do this step, you should see the two LED bulbs Z1 and ZY-Z2 are ON.
   
   
   

To Ramp Down

1. Switch Check whether the magnet is in the persistent mode.  If so first switch back from the persistent mode , if necessary, by following the previous section.
2. Set "0.5 A/m" and "63 A".
   
   
   
3. Press "To Set" and wait until the current becomes the SP and "HOLD".  It takes 24 minutes.
   → after ~24 minutes →  
   If you are in the NM4 Hall, and you see that the display shows "Rate Limit" in RED, then wait for a few minutes and observe the strip charts and this module's display.
   This indicates that the Mercury-iPS is more cautious with the rate of 'current' and it is adjusted by itself.
   
   After a few minutes, the display should look like the following.
   
   
   Wait until the VI indicates that it switched to "HOLD"
   
    
4. Set "1 A/m" and "45 A".
   
   
   
5. Press "To Set" and wait until the current becomes the SP and "HOLD".  It takes 18 minutes.
   → ~ 18 minutes →
   
   
6. Set "2 A/m" and "0 A", then Press "To Set". Then, the screen should be similar to the following screen.
   
   
   
7. Wait until the current becomes the SP and "HOLD".  It takes 23 minutes. Then, the screen should be similar to the following screen.
   
   
   
8. Press the Toggle button of the main switch heater.  It turns off both the main and shim switch heaters. The following screenshot was taken during the process after pressing the toggle button.
   
   
    At the end, if you can access the NM4 hall, then ensure that the two LED bulbs Z1 and ZY-Z2 are OFF. Also ensure the Mercury-IPS shows ZEROs for  Current(A), Magnet(A), Voltage(V) as shown in the following picture.
