by using either the numeric keypad per section 3.3 on page 25 or
the fine adjust knob (section 3.4 on page 26). The valid range is
from 0.0 to 100.0%. The default value is 0.0% unless preset by AMI
to match a specific superconducting magnet.
Superconducting magnets without a persistent switch require
1
a
specific Model 430 Programmer stability setting based on the
magnet inductance as follows:
For magnet inductance <= 100 Henries (H):
Stability Setting = (100 - H)
For magnet inductance > 100 Henries:
Stability Setting = 0
The graph below may be used as a guide to set the stability setting
for magnets with a persistent switch installed and inductance of
less than 3 henries. Magnets with an inductance of greater than 3
henries that have a persistent switch installed should operate with
a stability setting of 0.0%.
The Model 430 Programmer internal control loop gain is
proportional to the multiplier (100% – [Stability Setting]), except
that for a Stability of 100% the multiplier is set to a low non-zero
value suitable for controlling current in a short circuit. For this
