Subject: test on new PMC 

I checked the VME crate, and made sure that the PMC cards/ LO were functioning.

There was a problem with the VME crate and we couldn't turn on the kepco power supply for +/- 24 V for the PMC servo cards and 21.5 MHz LO on the crate. There were wires that connected to the power supply and the loose ends shorted together. I fixed that by taping over the wires. Now the power is up +/- 24V.

Summary of the crate status:

  • the crate is powered up with +/-24V. The current from each power supply is ~0.8 A. 
  • The power cables to TTFSS in the crate (+/- 17 and 24 V) are disconnected.
  • Both PMC servo cards, are working. Though we cannot adjust the gain/ switches.
  • The 21.5 MHz LO is working. But without the computer, we cannot adjust the power and phase (currently ~ -35 dBm). The signal is not very sinusoidal. (I think I reported this before)

 

Quote:
  • Note: V input for RFPD should be +/- 15 V (schematic)
  • Power for driving 21.5 MHz resonant EOM, can be up to 20 dBm , PSL:791 (seems that we have used only 9 dBm from the LO driver card, PSL:1092 )
  • power for mixer (LO) , 23 dBm ( Minicircuit Ray-3, see the schematic)
  • Schematic for LO for PMC , DCC
