LVDT card settings.

With Washimi-san.

PR2 LVDT card settings: resistances and phases between signals.

 

LVDT Input gain resistance (kOhm) Output gain resistance (Ohm) Phase (µs) Board and probe point
BF GAS 5.282 39.1 0 Left, P0.
SF GAS 5.350 38.6 7.5 Left, P1.
Not used 5.330 100.2 36.6 Left, P2.
Not used 5.304 99.8 36.4 Left, P3.
BF-V1 5.441 26.2 38.6 Right, P0.
BF-V2 5.533 26.1 37.0 Right, P1.
BF-V3 5.262 29.3 38.6 Right, P2.
Not used 4.032 101.5 36.8 Right, P3.

Notes:

  • In the phase measurement the signal at probe point is ahead of the reference signal.
  • In probe points for channels that are not used, there's a signal whose relative phase can be measured. I don't know where this signal is coming from, there's no LVDT connected. I didn't check the amplitude and I don't think the oscilloscpe did any autoscaling. I should check when we do the measurement in other suspensions. 
  • Chassis number: S1403050 in PR2 rack.
  • We measured the amplitude of the reference signal directly from the signal analyzer using the oscilloscope: it was 5.87 Vpp with nominal value 6 Vpp.
  • The LED, at the back of the chassis and associated with the -18 V, was sometimes on and sometimes off; we measured the voltage with the multimeter and it was perfectly fine. It must be a problem with the LED  itself. I'll notify AEL group for them to check.
  • The phases seem to have been set up on purpose for BF GAS and SF GAS, but not for the BF-V LVDTs. The output gain resistence does seem to have been adjusted for all the used channels.

 

LVDT Input gain resistance (kOhm) Output gain resistance (Ohm) Phase (µs) Board and probe point
BF-H1 5.219 29.9 37.2 Right, P0.
BF-H2 5.390 29.6 37.2 Right, P1.
BF-H3 5.535 28.5 36.0 Right, P2.
Not used 5.304 94.5 35.6 Right, P3.

Chassis number: S1403047.

  • In the phase measurement the signal at probe point is ahead of the reference signal.
  • Note for Fabian: this information is on page 12 and 13 in the notebook.

With Washimi-san.

Today we re-measured some phases after we got new information about the LVDT cards. However, it seems the card for the BF recoil mass vertical LVDTs is broken, but there's a problem with the switch assembly that Shimode-san is currently checking. Once he finishes I'll check the LVDT card again.

Data  will be posted in another entry. 

Currently PR2 is out of order.

With Washimi-san.

After Shimode-san fixed a minor problem in the LVDT driver, we took it back to the mine and tested it. It worked just fine. We finished measuring the phases of signals and re-measured some phases from when the driver hadn't been fixed.

The data will be posted in a separate entry. 

In principle, PR2 can be used again.
