I also noticed the "Page 1" and "LHC Operations" " Beam Current"(I) values were very different since yesterday. The "LHC Operations" I values seemed to match the Intensity plots while the "Page 1" values were moving around and dropping to 0.
Page 1 does supposedly have different modes depending on what state the LHC is in - I believe earlier it was set in precycling mode. We've been asking around to see if we can get descriptions of these - but the same basic data is there.
Page 1 Beam Current numbers have never seemed reliable so far - I think I was told that this is due to the low intensity of the current beams, which make it hard for the detectors Page 1 references to pick it up accurately. However, Status Op's Beam Current numbers seem to be reliable, and when shown on the graph there, display the sort of shapes you'd expect (injecting, dumping, slowly decreasing in intensity over time, etc.).
Hela - if you try the "info" link on the portal site (in the LHC section) there's an image explaining that, and if the most current version is there it should state that the number you pointed out is the setting - but not the measured energy. But I do know they have used software simulations to model things before, and this can give odd numbers on the screens.
