David and Suzie arrived this morning and we had a morning meeting. We discussed today's plan and data taken last Thursday. We also discussed Malek's Zgoubi tracking result. Suzie and David need to have a training for safety before noon and the actual data taking is expected after lunch time.

Update: We looked at injection matching in the vertical plane, making use of the S7 vertical BPM to see the vertical position. We first scanned the D magnet current from 850A-1200A with a view to measuring the vertical tune variation. Then we fixed the D magnet at nominal current 1012A and scanned the currents in two vertical steering magnets in the injection line, S4pV and S5V, around their nominal values (we scanned one at a time while the other was fixed at its nominal value). We repeated the measurements with the D magnet at 950A and at 1100A.
