    keyword=Large Aq scans for detector linearity (Runs 3151 & 3152)

    
    Took two scans designed to generate large charge asymmetry, in order
    to better test detector non-linearity.  Most methods for generating
    charge asymmetry also generates position differences, but we'll have
    to live with that.
    
    Each scan covered approximately 1/2 oscillation (peak-to-trough) of
    the 4-theta term in the halfwave scan.  A PITA offset delta = -100 V
    was used to turn this into a significant charge asymmetry change.
    This was done for each halfwave plate state in order to balance 
    positive and negative charge asymmetries (a somewhat arbitrary 
    choice).  The IA cell was set to 5 V.  Hall C feedback was off, of course, the 
    their asymmetry was roughly zeroed.
    
    The auto_rhwp macro was used, with steps of 5 degrees and 180 sec per point.  
    Scan clean will point to good data at stable set points.
    
    Run 3151: IHWP IN, RHWP scan [48,93], PC Pos = 4.426, Neg = 7.871
    Run 3152: IHWP OUT, RHWP scan [93,48], PC Pos = 3.935, Neg = 8.276
