hall probe has not been working for a while now. The settings are
500 A + 500 A ("32 deg")
500 A + 250 A ("48 deg")

yes I agree there was confusion. I'd like to re-iterate for the n-th time
that the pol.log and the RUNLIST file are actually important. They should
be up to date now. The charge at 48deg is indeed around 12 kC
