The National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) will study the physics of low aspect ratio, high beta quasi-axisymmetric stellarators. In order to achieve the scientific goals of the NCSX mission, the device must be capable of supporting a wide range of variations in plasma configuration about a reference equilibrium. Numerical experiments are presented which demonstrate this capability
