Found HV in tripped state, restored sense to 900 instead of 1050, it first tripped when attempting 900 Volts but staged 50 volts increases brought it back without tripping, I observe 30[math] \mu[/math]A spikes at 900 Volts

Current instability was observed when taking voltage up to 1075. Backed off to 1040, current stabilized to less than 0.01 [math]\mu[/math]A. Raised back up to 1070V again, current appears stable for the moment.

Currently raising voltage only 1-3 volts at a time and monitoring sense current for a few seconds before raising again. If sense current stays above 0.075 for more than a few seconds, run-away current instability will usually start-up again.
