Work Done:
- Created a Channel Access Server on the Raspberry Pi to write data from the FC into EPICS Channel.
- Completed characterization and noise estimation of the FC counter with improved timing.
- Started installation of FC inside the 40m.
Plans for this Week:
- Testing how well the FC can replace the spectrum analyzer which is in the control room. For this I have asked Steve to order an RF adder/combiner to see how frequency counter responds to two RF signals at different frequencies(much like the RF signal fed to the spectrum analyzer) .
- Complete the installation of FC insode the 40m and start initial testing.
- Characterization of the Temperature Actuator and initial PID loop design.
Inside the 40m Lab:
- I will have to go inside the 40m lab this week for routing the RF mon cables to the FC box(in detail:http://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:8080/40m/10163) .
- Also to setup for characterization of the temperature actuator, I will be required to go inside the lab in this week.
