[Suresh / Kiwamu]
We tried adjusting the OSEMs on PRM, but we didn't complete it due to a malfunction on the coils.
The UL and LL coils are not working correctly, the forces are weak.
Tomorrow we will look into the satellite box, which is one of the suspects.
During the adjustment we found that the POS excitation force was unequal in each sensor.
At the beginning we thought it's because of the difference of the sensitivity in each OSEM due to the bad OSEM orientations.
However it turned out that it comes from the actual force imbalance on each coil.
We checked the force of each coil by putting an offset (-2000 cnts) in each output digital filter and looked at the OSEM signals in time series.
The UL and LL coils are too weak and the responses are almost buried in the noise of the OSEMs in time series.
We briefly checked some analog electronics and found the DAC, AI board and deWhitening board were healthy.
We were able to see the right amount of voltage from the monitor pin on the front panel of the coil driver.
So something downstream are suspicious, including the satellite box, feedthrough and coils.

Although the coil issue, it could be worth trying to check the input matrix. |
