<p>After the alpha source calibration of the S2 (See eLog entry #21) we decided to perform a pulser walkthrough for the pin diode on ADC 6 CH 31.</p>
<p>The pulser was only connected to the pin diode preamp to ensure it wasnt being split.</p>
<p>Note: Since the pulser is still being 50 ohm terminated the amplitude setting is divided by 2 regardless of any signal splitting. Example: Setting a pulse height of 1.0V on the PB-5 corresponds to an output pulse height of 0.5V.</p>
<p>The pulser settings for this walkthrough were:</p>
<p>Fall Time = 100us</p>
<p>Rate = 10.00Hz</p>
<p>Delay = 250ns</p>
<p>Ampl = varied 1.0V -> 0.25V</p>
<p>Pol = POS</p>
<p>Pulse Top = Tail</p>
<p>Atten = 1X</p>
<p>PB-5 Pulse = ON</p>
<p>CLAMP = OFF</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For this test we also needed to change the Delay Amp 1457 delay setting from 1us to 3us to ensure pulses were occuring after the DAQ OR trigger</p>
<p>I collected a DAQ run for the following pulse amplitude settings:</p>
<p>0.1V, 0.15V, 0.2V, 0.25V, and 0.3V</p>
<p>We also attempted 0.05V and 0.07V but were unable to see a clearly defined peak in the spectrum - likely caused by the high level of noise from the CFD we see at the low ADC channels. This should be better optimised at the start of the next shifts.</p>
<p>The save name for this pulser walkthrough is: Remote_Objs/RData_1/180223180747</p>
