Snapback

This will essentially be a hands off operations (we hope). Predicted functions will have been downloaded to the power converters. Tune feedback, orbit feedback and RMS feedforward will be operational. Operators will have real-time knobs available to control Q and Q' (both rings).

Collimators

Stay where they are. Local orbit feedback should lock in the cleaning insertions. Will probably have to worry about beat beating induced by mismatch during the snapback.

TDI - Out to parking

Power converters

Real-time corrections will be incoming from Multipoles factory, feedback systems, real-time knobs. Summing will have to take place at the high level. Something pretty intelligent will need to be done to deal with hysteresis loop crossing, particularly in the case of the sextupole spool pieces.

RMS
