<p>The SY1527 supply was delivered with three modules.</p>
<p>A cable has been made with LEMO00 connectors to connect to the detector adaptor HV inputs.</p>
<p>The SY1527 needed an external VGA display and ps2 keyboard. The software appears to be windows 98 based and won't boot until the bios is told to ignore drive D.</p>
<p>On boot the Drive A must be skipped. I will provide training when others wish to use the system <img src="https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Channel 0 is being used and has been tested with a voltmeter to provide the correct voltage at the LEMO00 connections. The control seems to be reliable and trips with over current.</p>
<p>200 volts has been applied to the detector with a final current of 3.9uA. The ramp up/down rate is 1V/second.</p>
<p>The acquisition system was run with pulser OFF and reference setting of 0x30 on the two negative modules nnaida11 and 12.</p>
<p>The rates were 130K/sec + on both the 11 and 12.</p>
<p>Run down the HV and add a 'scope probe ( 10MR and 11pF ) .</p>
<p>Run up and the 'scope shows 20mv pk-pk mushy noise with occasional 200mV+ bursts.</p>
<p>The acquisition performance did not improve.</p>
<p>Changed the reference on 11 and 12 to 0x90 and switch on the pulser then the rate became 20K to 25K. Stat spectra show that ASIC3 and 4 on these boards are still more active than 1 & 2.</p>
<p>Changed the reference on 11 down to 0x40 and Stat spectrum shows ASIC 3 and 4 become more active.</p>
<p>Added an R/C filter at the HV iput to the adaptor board. Removed the 'scope probe. The filter is the same as used with the HV supply in a box block from PorgamRays.</p>
<p>No real improvement.</p>
<p>Changed 11 & 12 reference back to 0x90.</p>
<p>Waveforms in 12 seem normal.</p>
<p>Back to working on the VHDL changes now.</p>
