Tried to use the tables from summer 2000 for the HVPS and display the HVPS images on the screen. Then run m200. 1) with settings from 2000: hvps2000.raw Good buffers and bad
ones with the stuck bit! 2) with settings
from 2001: hvps2001.raw
Good buffers and bad ones with the stuck bit! 3) with settings
from 2003: f6072152.raw Mostly empty buffers! DMT replaced with clear coating R3H-0922-8 (had small amount of coating at the ends of the wire, but the wire surface was not coated) |
