Trigger an acquisition by clicking the yellow ++"Acquire with ACDipole excitation"++ button at the bottom left of the GUI.

The AC Dipole will arm, then kick the beam.

??? info "Losses on Kicks"
219220
Sometimes when increasing the kick amplitude, one will notice large losses.
220221
In this case it is recommended to kick a couple times at this amplitude or just below to see if the losses reduce or are consistent.

222223
Should they reduce the beam might have just needed cleaning and one can increase the kick amplitude further.
223224
Otherwise, stop increasing unless a beam dump is affordable.
224225
Refer to the experts on shift if unsure about the losses, and whether the kick amplitude can be increased further.

Firstly, kicking both beams simultaneously might exceed the losses threshold and lead to a beam dump.
