FC performance

The JLab FC was placed (in AIR) 30 cm from the zero port window of the HRRL. A ground braid connected the BNC connector to the ground used by the accelerator RF. Without this ground there was even more RF pickup. The lower yellow trace represents the RF pulse from the HRRL which was running with 40 ns pulse widths at a rep rate of 205 Hz.

Measurement

Turns	h (cm)
Original position	10.02
10 turns ccw (down)	9.03
10 turns ccw (down)	7.00
10 turns cw (up)	9.04
10 turns cw (up)	10.04
10 turns ccw (down)	9.05
10 turns ccw (down)	7.00
10 turns ccw (down)	4.94

Where "h" is height of table, and "cw" and "ccw" stand for clockwise and counter clockwise respectively.

The average change of height by a turn is 0.19 cm, with standard deviation σ =0.1cm
