5. Issues: October 18 th Running DAQ not working when start running DAQ not working when start running GVA2 disconnected – GVA2 disconnected – had to debug/discover/reconnect/power up had to debug/discover/reconnect/power up Target delay adjustment – caused target dipping to stop Target delay adjustment – caused target dipping to stop Had to debug – 1.5 hr delay Had to debug – 1.5 hr delay

6. October 19 th Running Goal: Measure change in activation of synchrotron with MICE target operating at MS/128 and producing beam loss at the 200 mV level for a period of sixteen hours.
