Replacement of the focusing solenoids between both ECR Ion Sources and the beam analysis dipoles with electrostatic triplets has resulted in a large increase in net accelerator output. 2D emittance scans explain some but not all of this increase. Further improvement is anticipated with a new optical device consisting of an electrostatic quadrupole doublet-octupole-doublet-magnetic sextupole arrangement, which has been built and is being tested in place of a triplet. Motivations and results of measurements and operating experience are discussed.
