<p>Assembled three more of the filter boards and installed them in the AIDA PSU with the first, wired to use the switchmode power supply.</p>
<p>Powered up nnaida14 first and went fine. Just the boot sequence and measure the voltages for stability.</p>
<p>Powered up the remainder and all was well.</p>
<p>Setup and go..... the rates were way too high in all of them.</p>
<p>nnaida12 was running at 200k/sec+ most of the time. </p>
<p>The other three could be reduced in rate by changing the slow comp thresh as would be expected but 12 wasn't any good.</p>
<p>Tried:</p>
<p>Remove MACB HDMI.... no good</p>
<p>isolate psu earth from NIM crate ( put psu on foam support ) ..... no good</p>
<p>Checked the filter output and the sine wave reported yesterday ( nnaida2 ) was present on all voltage rails but no evidence of high frequency noise.</p>
<p>Set all channels to 1GeV, with Slow comp thresh of 10, and 11,13 & 14 showed roughly the same rate of 10 to 15k/sec. Peaks in the spectra were FWHM 12 at a random sample. nnaida12 would not conform.</p>
<p>Changed back to the bench power supply connections so Chris can continue.</p> |
