Tested performance of DAQ with following equipment
Hamamatsu photodiode (S3590-09)
- Powered by Farnell power supply (E30/1). Bias 14V / leakage current < 10uA.
Cooknell preamplifier
- Powered by Farnell power supply (L30BT) @ 24V.
Self-triggering of the CAEN modules is not yet working. Currently triggering using analogue electronic chain.
Preamp signal is split. One half is sent to Ortec 747 TFA ( coarse gain = 1x / fine gain = 2 / int = 50ns / diff =
500ns / non-inv input) -> Octal CFD CF8000 ( threshold ?? ) -> LeCroy 688AL level adapter (for NIM to TTL
conversion) -> CAEN v1730 external trigger IN
Other half is delayed by 250ns line and sent to CAEN V1730 channel 0
