- The new c1psl Acromag crate is now interfaced to the Eurocrate electronics in 1X1 (formerly VME c1psl) and 1X2 (formerly c1iool0).
- The PMC and IMC can be locked. We will investigate stability / duty cycle over the weekend.
- There were a few issues with the wiring - specifically, the worng kind of Acromag BIO unit (sourcing, whereas we want sinking) was used for the FSS board switches. Once Jordan fixed this issue, the IMC could be locked.
- I began to do the detailed tests of the IMC Servo card channels - there may be some issues with the boost stages, but I ran out of time yesterday, so tbc Monday.
On Monday, we will remove the old c1psl and c1iool0 machines from the electronics rack and install the Acromag crate in a more permanent way. We will also clean up some of the old cabling and cross connects, althoug the situation seems so complicated (some cross connects are also used by the rtcds c1ioo expansion chassis) that I am inclined not to remove any cables.
The area around 1X1/1X2 has a lot of dangling cables and general detritus. Be careful if you are walking around there. We will clean up on monday. |
