Best practice dictates that "Update" be pressed before "Standby" is initiated. This updates the magnet current values in the "Init.

If for some haphazard reason the Initial Power Value appearing in the "Savings Overview" is evidently wrong for a given section during energy saving (and for which the "Update" button is disenabled), e.g., it is less than the current power usage as shown in the "Power" column, it can be ovewritten to its default value from the "Last Power" sub-panel within the "IOC" tab widget.

The accounting of the energy saved for a given is year is to be recorded. At the end of the calendar year, the process variables holding the power saved values are to be reset to zero. This is accomplished through the "Reset Account" button. This action also records the energy saved value in elogbook. -HUSH! Image
