This entry is meant to be a sort of inventory check and a tentative plan-of-action for the installation of the PZT mounted mirrors and associated electronics on the Y-endtable. 

Hardware details:

•  PZT mounts are cleaned and ready to be put on the end-tables.
• The PZTs being used are PI S-330.20L Piezo Tip/Tilt Platforms. Each endtable requires two of these. The input channels have male single-lemo connectors. There are 3 channels on each tip/tilt platform, for tilt, yaw and a bias voltage.
• The driver boards being used are D980323 Rev C. Each board is capable of driving 2 piezo tip/tilt platforms. I am not too sure of this but I think that the SMA female connector on these boards is meant to be connected with the bias voltage from our Kepco high-voltage power supplies. The outputs on these boards are fitted with SMB female connectors, while the piezo tip/tilt platforms have male single-lemo connectors. We will have to source cables with the appropriate connectors to run between the end-table and rack 1Y4 (see below). The input to these boards from the DAC will have to be made with a custom ribbon connector as per the pin out configuration given in the circuit drawing.
• High-voltage power supply: KEPCO BHK 300-130 MG. This will supply the required 100V DC bias voltage to the piezo tip/tilts via the driver board. Since each board is capable of driving two piezos, we will only need one unit per end-table. The question is where to put these (photo attached). It doesn't look like it can be accommodated in 1Y4 (again photo attached) and the power cable the unit came with is only about 8ft long. If we put these under the end-tables, then we will need an additional long (~10m) cable to run from these to the driver boards at 1Y4 carrying 100 V. 
  
•  We will need long (~10m by my rough measurement at the X and Y ends) cables to run from rack 1Y4 to the endtable to drive the piezos. These will have to be high-voltage tolerant (at least to 100V DC) and should have SMB male connectors at one end and female single-lemo connectors at the other. I have emailed 3 firms (CD International Technologies Inc., Stonewall Cables, and Fairview Microwave) detailing our requirements and asking for a quote and estimated time for delivery. We will need 6 of these, plus another cable with an SMA connector on one end and the other end open to connect the 100V DC bias voltage from the high voltage power supply to the driver boards (the power supply comes with a custom jack to which we can solder open leads). We will also possibly need ~3m long lemo-to-?(I need to check what the input connector for the data acquisition channels) cables for the monitoring channels, I am not sure if these are available, I will check with Steve tomorrow.

Other details:

• I have attached a wiring diagram with the interconnects between various devices at various places and the type of connectors required etc. The error signal will the the transmitted green light from the cavity, and there is already a DQ channel logging this information, so nothing additional wiring is required to this end.
• Jamie had detailed channel availability in elog 8580. I had a look at rack 1Y4, and there were free DAC channels available, but I am not sure as to which of the ones listed in the elog it corresponds to. In any case, Jamie did mention that there are sufficient channels available at the end-stations for this purposes, but all of these are fast channels. What needs to be decided is if we are going ahead and using the fast channels, or if we need to find slow DAC channels. 
• I spoke to Koji about gluing the mirrors to the PZTs, and he says we can use superglue, and also to be sure to clean both the mirror and the tip/tilt surfaces before gluing. In any case, all the other hardware issues need to be sorted out first before thinking about gluing the mirrors.
