| Phase 1 & 2 | Commission Injection region, establish circulating beam | OUT | IN - CLOSED | |||
| Phase 3 - PILOT | Establish circulating beam | Commission acquisition - no dump | Injection inhibit | OUT | OUT | |
| Phase 3 - PILOT | Stable beam 450 GeV | Commission dump at 450 GeV | Dedicated commissioning period | Beam based Interlocks: System by system verification | First bootstapping attempt, subset to say 10 sigma nominal to provide some protection in ramp | First attempt to position with respect to circulating beam |
| Phase 4 - Single bunch - intermediate intensity | Stable beam 450 GeV | Verify | Continued commissioning | Preliminary commissioning to nominal injection settings | Preliminary commissioning to nominal injection settings | |
| Phase 6 - switch to nominal cycle | Stable beam 450 GeV | Confirm | Confirm | |||
| Phase 7 - PILOT | Ramp pilot - snapback | Acquisition - no dump, check losses against thresholds | Coarse settings | Out | ||
| Phase 8 - PILOT | Ramp pilot - single beam, intermediate energies | Commission dump at intermediate energies | Limited sub-set to BIC following commissioning of dump | Sub-set BLMs | Coarse settings | |
| Phase 8: Single bunch - intermediate intensity | Before going above in ramp ~2 TeV | Verify | Nomainal Injection settings | |||
| Phase 4: Multi bunch - pilot intensity - various configurations. Single beams leading to two beams | Stable beam 450 Gev | Check timing, injection vetos, abort gap | Starts to get serious, tighten thresholds for critical BLMs, introduce thresholds for others. Start tuning. | Critical BLMs, dump BPMs | Progressively finer adjustment, orbit stabilisation | First attempts at nominal positions during injection process |
| Phase 8: Single bunch - intermediate intensity | Ramp | Some stops in ramp, orbit stability | As above | As above | Injection settings for ramp, orbit stabilisation is required | n/a |

| 7 Tev - two beams | ||||||
| Collide pilot - unsqueezed | ||||||
| First atempts at squeeze [following at least some of the stages shown below] | ||||||
| Multi bunch - intermediate settings | Injection | Fully operational at all stages | Passing damage threshold. All critical BLMs with appropriate thresholds | Fully commissioned. BLMs, BPMS, etc. | Fine adjustment | Fine adjustment |
