I wired the six available BNC connectors on the front panel of the new XEND slow DAQ to physical Acromag channels. There were two unused ADC channels and eight DAC channels, of which I connected four. The following entries were added to /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1auxex2/ETMXAUX2.db /caltech/target/c1auxex2/ETMXaux2.db

C1:Vac-CC1_HORNET_PRESSURE_VOLT is converted to the additional soft channel C1:Vac-CC1_HORNET_PRESSURE in units of torr using the conversion stated in the manual. A quick check showed that the resulting number and the displayed pressure on the vacuum gauge itself agree to ~1e-8 torr. Gautam added the new EPICS calc channel to the C0EDCU and restarted FB, now the data is being recorded.
Three of the output channels do not have a purpose yet, so their epics records were created but remain inactive for the time being. |
