This is not a reply to comments given to the last post; Still working on incorporating those suggestions.

Trying out a better filter from scratch

Rana suggested looking first at what needs to be suppressed and then create a filter suited for the noise from scratch. So I discarded all earlier poles and zeros and just kept the resonant gains in the digital filter. With that, I found that all we need is three poles at 1 Hz and a gain of 8.1e5 gives the lowest RMS noise value I could get.

Now there can be some practical reasons unknown to me because of which this filter is not possible, but I just wanted to put it here as I'll add the actual noise spectra into this model now.

Few questions:

  • What anti-aliasing filters are used in ALS?
  • Is the digital delay fixed to a constant upper limit or is it left to change as per filters? I have already used a 470 us delay (modeled with Pade 4th order approximation).
  • I could not find a good place where channel names are listed with corresponding meaning. Where can I find them?
  • Is there a channel which keeps a record of lock status? In short, how do I find the in-lock times
