You are right Tim, the only argument I had is that it was
proposed to have the current AND the scaling factor in
conditions DB. In my mind there is no scaling factor.

This will give us a direct measure of the magnetic field strength. Deviations from nominal settings will give us the scaling factor to use for the simulation/reconstruction. I would use the magnet current as the primary and the Hall probe as check, but we can monitor both during early commissioning.
