    Beam is back, so we are continuing the IA re-calibration procedure.

    Ok, so things aren't as easy as I thought. The effect rolls over, and we can't get
    much more than 120 ppm/Volt. Also, there is a lot of backlash, so much that
    the amount of backlash approximately equals the effective moment arm. Hmmm..
    this will take some more thinking.

    We are losing beam (target stuff) so we are packing it in now. I'll tell MCC to keep the instructions around, in case someone on owl gets ambitious. We can use our
    new IA slope to try feedback, as long as the "natural" Aq isn't too large. I expect that with so little breathing room around the systematic offset, we will be likely to rail...
