--> HMS, SHMS: 25 deg, -4.4 GeV/c (E = 10.6 GeV) (we will take data in both spectrometers at the same time)
--> shoot for 0.5 % statistical uncertainty where possible (no less than 0.8 %)

Targets/currents:
--> Al: 40 uA

- BCM calibration procedure
[ https://hallcweb.jlab.org/doc-public/ShowDocument?docid=957 ]
- HMS/SHMS saturation tests
- Run two separate DAQs. For HMS PS2=0 and SHMS PS2=0, rest to -1.
- Use the optics 1 target
- Put sieve in HMS and centered sieve in SHMS
- Maximum current.
- Set HMS angle to 15 degrees and SHMS angle to 9 degrees.
- Need to cycle magnets in HMS and SHMS.
- Want to have 2000 counts in center foil.
- For HMS the dipole NMR will be adjusted at each setting to give good Ytar versus Yptar.
- For HMS at 5.9,5.7 and 5.5 have been done before. It is a consistency check. 5.3 and 5.1 will see if dipole needs to be changed.
- For SHMS , just take data
