    Owl Shift Summary:
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    00:00 Begin shift with no beam due to problems with beam transport past 0L06.
    01:43 Talked with MCC. New problem with RF separators.
    02:35 Restart Happex DAQ, run 12267 had no events.
    04:00 Talked with MCC. Work still ongoing. The suspected culprit is a faulty valve in
              North Linac. May have beam in 2 hours.
    04:55 MCC called. Problem has been isolated. Expect beam by 6 am.
    06:15 MCC is going to send tune beam to Hall A.
    06:26 MCC is ready to send CW beam. Asked for 5 uA to verify beam positions.
    06:36 Beam positions look good. Ask for raster off and harp scans.
    06:42 Turned on L-HRS S0 HV's to check raster.
    06:44 Beam profile is focusing towards the target: Asked MCC to achieve between 150-300 um.
              A: 727 x 237 microns
              B: 351 x 123 microns
    07:12 Beam profile still focusing in y at target:
              A: 326 x 114 microns
              B: 348 x 52 microns
    However, the individual wires do not indicate this!
    07:18 Move target to Carbon with hole.
    07:20 Target in place ask for 5 uA for raster check.
    07:40 Asked for MCC to do a bit more tuning to defocus the beam in the y-direction.
    07:50 Beam profile at Harp B is good now: 260 microns x 159 microns.
    08:02 RF separator problems. Should be 10-15 minutes.
