Two different values of NBI power shall be used, using the same power in both injectors and the same voltage-current pair.
 
For each power value, four values of voltage are tested simultaneously in each beam paying attention to keep a more less
constant plasma current which ideally should mainly come from the bootstrap contribution.
 
Two reproducible shots per voltage
