Bad news regarding the cable that goes between the Guralp seismometer and the box that I've been working on: it's too short by about a factor of 2. Dang it. I've placed the seismometer underneath the Beam Splitter Chamber (where it needs to go), and started running the cable toward the ADC rack where box was planned to go, and as Rana guessed earlier tonight, the cable isn't nearly long enough. We have some options: the seismometer can go back into the half-height rack near the BS, SRM, PRM oplev's optical table where I think it used to be, or it can go into the rack with the Kepco high voltage power supplies and the laser's supply. The cable won't reach any farther than that.
I think that we can just add BNC extensions onto the octopus cable that Bob made for the Guralp box, so all we need to figure out after we decide on a rack is the power for the box. |
