Now the sus PD whitening bards are ready to move the back plane connectoresto the lower row and to plug the acromag interface board to the upper low.

Sus PD whitening boards on 1X5 rack (D000210-A1) had slow and fast channels mix in a single DIN96 connector. As we are going to use the rear-side backplane connector for Acromag access, we wanted to migrate the fast channel somewhere. For this purpose, the boards were modified to duplicate the fast signals to the lower DIN96 connector.

The modification was done on the back layer of the board (Attachment 1).
The 28A~32A and 28C~32C of P1 are connected to the corresponding pins of P2 (Attachment 2). The connections were thouroughly checked by a multimeter.

After the modification the boards were returned to the same place of the crate. The cables, which had been identified and noted before disconnection, were returned to the connectors.

The functionarity of the 40 (8sus*5ch) whitening switches were confimred using DTT one by one by looking at the transfer functions between SUS LSC EXC to the PD input filter IN1. All the switches showed the proper whitening in the measurments.

The PD slow mon (like C1:SUS-XXX_xxPDMon) channels were also checked and they returned to the values before the modification, except for the BS UL PD. As the fast version of the signal returned to the previous value, the monitor circuit was suspicious. Therefore the opamp of the monitor channels (LT1125) were replaced and the value came back to the previous value (attachment 3).
