Subject: Bench test of c1iscaux 

I bench tested the functionality of all the c1iscaux Acromag crate channels. Summary: we are not ready for a Monday install, much debugging remains.

  1. DAC channels were tested using 4 ch oscilloscope and stepping the whitening gain sliders through their 15 gain settings
    • Response was satisfactory - the output changes between 0 - 5 V DC in 15 steps.
    • This analog voltage is converted to binary representation by an on-board ADC on the whitening boards. So we may have to tune the offset voltage and range to avoid accidental bit flipping due to the analog voltage of a particualr step falling close to the bit-flipping edge of the on-board ADC. This will require an in-situ test.
    • Test passed
  2. BIO output channels were tested using a DMM, and monitoring the resistance between the BIO pin and the RTN pin. In the "ON" state, the expected resistance is ~5 Mohm, and in the off state, it is ~3 ohms.
    • The AA filter switches on BIO1 unit do not show the expected behavior - @ Chub, please check the wiring.
    • All others (except the mbboDirect bits, see next bullet) were okay, including those for the CM board that are NOT part of the mbboDirect groups.
    • Test failed
  3. ADC channels were tested by driving a ~2Vpp 300mHz sine wave with a function generator, and looking at the corresponding EPICS channel with StripTool.
    • I found that all the ADC channels don't function as expected.
    • Part of the problem is due to incorrect formatting of the EPICS records in the db files, but I think the ADCs also need to be calibrated with the precision voltage source.
    • Why only ADCs require calibration and not the DACs????
    • Test failed
  4. mbboDirect BIO output test - I made a little LED breadboard tester kit to simultaneously monitor the status of these groups of binary outputs.
    • The LSB is toggled as expected when moving the gain slider along.
    • However, the other bits in the group are not toggled correctly.
    • I believe this is a problem with either (i) the way the EPICS record is configured to address the bits or (ii) the incorrect modbus datatype is used to initialize the ioc.
    • It will be helpful if someone can look into this and get the mbboDirect bits working, I don't really want to spend more time on this.
    • Test failed

I am leaving the crate powered (by bench supplies) in the office area so I have the option to work remotely on this.
