The conditioning process consists of repeated helicon RF pulses into L-mode discharges. Since the conditioning of the vacuum transmission line just needs a tokamak plasma to load the antenna, the specific requirements are low and the helicon system makes progress with conditioning even with Ohmic plasmas in which first-pass absorption of the helicon is relatively poor. Previous campaigns have used shot 187313 as a target discharge for conditioning (without ECH) but any target shot with plasma present is useful. The target shot is a lower single null L-mode discharge with reversed BT and normal IP, but the antenna is also optimized for operation into normal BT and reversed IP. Conditioning progress may also be made in any other BT/IP configuration. The helicon system will begin conditioning into vacuum at a power level of about 0.4 MW klystron forward power; once antenna operation is stable for a given power and pulse length, the power and/or pulse length will be raised. The system will begin firing co-current (from 150); once this is conditioned, the counter-current (210) side will need to be conditioned as well.
