4) Scan multiple times from -5 to 5 Amps, and put them in different folders. Name folder by number, like 1, 2, 3 etc. After finishing one scan go back to -5 Amps. When going back take small steps (like 1 Amp), do not jump from 5 Amps to -5 Amps directly. After reaching back to -5, wait for few moment (like 10 s).

5) For each time, take back ground images. It should be done when RF is on and gun is off.

Gun has been up to air for 3 times. It could be oxidation, contamination. Or it could be gun died, less likely. Roasting the gun to burn off the contamination is an idea. Chad just roasted gun for with higher current, we saw gun current increased many times. We will leave roasted for one night.

6) After the scan take a scope image for the current of the FC after the OTR screen. Lower the current, so the vacuum window do not heat up. This step is to check energy.
