Jeremy, et al.,
  We will need to monitor the analyzing dipole current. I assume this is an EPICS variable, or should be. We will also be mounting a Hall probe onto the SVT support plate. 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.

Hi Jeremy,

I think beam current is not related to chicane settings.

Empirical numbers are magnet currents, from which comes a scale factor
relative to some defined nominal value.

We will be putting various EPICs variables, including chicane current readbacks, into
EVIO every few seconds for the next run.  How we will parse it needs to be written
and tested.
