    keyword=qasy feedback test

    Tests of charge asymmetry (qasy) feedback. I make changes to the
    IA EPICS channel during runs in progress. Start with tiny changes.
    Then I tried bigger changes. Here are the data:

    Time .... Run (in progress) .... IA set ....... Qasy (ppm)

    14:00 .... 4692 ............ 0.1 (start) ...... ~0 +/- 100
    14:03 .... 4692 ............ 0.2 .............. no signif. change
    14:40 .... 4692 ............ 0.4
    14:55 .... 4693 ............................... 0 +/- 100 ppm
    15:10 .... 4693 ............ 4.0
    15:28 .... 4694 ............................... 700 +/- 65 ppm
    15:30 .... 4694 ............ 10.0
    15:43 .... 4694 ............................... 1491 +/- 78 ppm
    15:45 .... 4694 ............ 6.0
    16:00 .... 4694 ............................... 786 +/- 69 ppm
    16:09 .... 4695 ............ 0.1 (test finished. return to zero).

    The slope is 147 ppm.
    I will "turn on" the qasy feedback tomorrow (I must leave now).
    Meanwhile, I set IA to 0.1 since this minimizes qasy.
    The qasy seems pretty stable, it doesn't drift much.
    Note also, the IA dynamic range is 0 - 10, hence we are near an edge.
