    keyword=Hall C Energy Modulation


    Hall C does coil modulation once every three runs (approximately
    every 3 hours). It takes 3 mintues to go through the modulation
    cycle. Fisrt they move the position in Hall C line, so this affects
    only Hall C. For the last minute, the energy is changed by
    +/- 5X10^-5.

    The EPICS variable that shows they are doing modulation is:

    BMWCALC.I
    =====================================
    DESC: subroutine record
    RTYP: sub
    TYPE: DBF_DOUBLE
    COUNT: 1
    ACCESS: R
    IOC: iocsb4.acc.jlab.org:5064
    VALUE: 0.000
    STAMP: Fri Dec 01, 2006 01:47:340.159
    ALARM: NO

    and it will be set to -0.7 during the cycle. The other variable that
    shows the energy modulation is: HCBMWCALC.J and it will step from
    -0.050, ... , 0.050.

    To open the screen that shows the modulation cycle in Hall C:
    From Monticello Screen: click on the yellow button next to Magnets,
    click "3C" at the far left and choose "3C Position Modulation
    Control"
