7. Powering Sequence

Before powering the system, you should ensure that all the connections between the Helmholtz 
Coil and the PA1, the PA1 and the CU1 and/or CU2 as well as the CU1 to a suitable National 
Instruments acquisition card (or PXI-system) are done.

Once all connections are done, the following sequence should be used:

•  Power the PC and National Instruments acquisition card or PXI system

•  If using a CU2, ensure that the CU2 Reference Magnetometer is connected to the CU2 Module

•  Power the CU1

•  Power the PA1

To power down the system, the reverse sequence should be followed.

Please note that the equipment should be left to warm up for at least 12 hours before any of the 
calibration is undertaken.
