After the two C-coils were joined to form a yin-yang magnet, it was moved to the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Additional preparatory work was done before the magnet assembly could be moved into the vacuum vessel for final hookup. Apparatus was designed and built to determine magnet mechanical and magnetic centerlines and establish a magnetic-field profile between the mirror points and yin-yang center. Hall probes were installed to measure magnetic fields during startup and operation. A system using linear potentiometers was used to detect magnet movement during operation.
