Help for Longitudinal Feedbacks
WARNING: The controls on this screen perform INVASIVE operations.
This Help screen applies to all Longitudinal Feedbacks currently operating; there are seven feedback configured up through BC2. The longitudinal feedbacks adjust the phase and / or amplitude of the L0B RF, L1S RF,and L2 24-1 and 24-2 phasesthe L0B amplitude, L1S amplitude and phase, L2 amplitude and phase, and L3 amplitude, in order to maintain the desired energy and / or bunchlength peak current at different points along the beamline. The DL2 Energy portion is not yet operational.
The desired Energy and Bunchlength Peak Current values (State Setpoints) are set by the operator on this screen.

This middle Section shows a graphic of the position of the devices used in the associated Feedback application. The device name is a button which brings up the related device display. There is a square of color that indicates whether the device is currently used in the Feedback. Green means it is in-use, Grey means it is not used. If it is Red or Yellow, then the device or state is in a warning or error condition. See the tabular display below to see if the device or state is operating near or outside of its limits.
This section also contains the individual state loop controls. you may choose to Activate or Disable the state loops individually using the Activated/Disabled toggle button for each state.
SECTION THREE: Tabular Data Display
This section shows a table of the lower limit, current value, and upper limit of measurements collected for the associated Feedback, and the calculated States and actuator values. When the feedback is on the current values will update continuously. If a device or state is operating near its limits, or out-of-range, the current value will be highlighted with a corresponding yellow or red box around it. You can enter new limits on-the-fly using these inputs.
There are six several 'setpoint' inputs available in the section for the operator. The operator may change most of these setpoints 'on-the-fly', the feedback will read the new setpoint on the next iteration. The setpoints outlined in a grey box can only be changed when the feedback, or the associated individual loops, are off or disabled / compute.
The on-the-fly setpoints can all be used as a vernier to scan around the setpoint. The on-the-fly setpoints are:
DL1 Energy: The desired Energy for Dog Leg 1, in MeV.
BC1 Energy: The desired Energy at Bunch Compressor 1, in MeV.
BC1 BunchlengthPeak Current: The desired Bunchlength Peak Current after Bunch Compressor 1, in percent???
BC2 Energy: The desired Energy at Bunch Compressor 2, in MeV.
BC2 BunchlengthPeak Current: The desired Bunchlength Peak Current after Bunch Compressor 2, in percent???
DL2 Energy: The desired Energy for Dog Leg 2, in MeV. (not yet available)

This is most often used as a 'vernier' around the actual DL2 Energy value.
The setpoints that can be changed when the feedback is off are:
L2 Chirp: use this PV when the feedback is inactive, the same as you would the L2 Chirp MeV PV on Joe's display.
L2 Energy: use this PV when the feedback is inactive....
L0B Amplitude: set the L0B amplitude by hand here - same PV as on L0B RF display and Joe's 6x6 display
L1S Amplitude: same PV as on L1S RF display and Joe's 6x6 display
L1S Phase: same PV as on L1S RF display and Joe's 6x6 display
L2 Amplitude: same PV as the l2 'On Crest' Amplitude MeV on Joe's 6x6 display
L2 Phase: same PV as the l2 Phase on Joe's 6x6 display
L3 Energy: same PV as the L3 Energy MeV on Joe's 6x6 displayThis button brings up a display that contains continuously updating graphs of the Measurements, States, and Actuators for this feedback.
