D. Barker, P. Fritschel, J. Kissel, D. Sigg I've modified the /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/pem/h1/models/h1pemex.mdl front-end model to include new channels for the production electric field meter (EFM) that's being fit-checked and commissioned now, and will be re-installed permanently later this summer. The new channels stored in frames will be: Channel Name Stored at Channel Meaning Units H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_X_OUT_DQ 16384 Hz for the X DOF field, aligned with the IFO's global X V.m^{-1} H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_Y_OUT_DQ 16384 Hz for the Y DOF field, aligned with the IFO's global Y V.m^{-1} where, for now they'll be stored at 16384 Hz while we explore the usefulness of the sensor. I've also added infrastructure for the band-limited RMS'ing of the signal of up to 5 bands (for now called A, B, C, D, and E), where after looking at the spectra once installed and functional, we'll decide the frequency bands that we'd like to use. Their interesting channels are H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_X_RMSLP_A_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_X_RMSLP_B_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_X_RMSLP_C_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_X_RMSLP_D_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_X_RMSLP_E_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_Y_RMSLP_A_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_Y_RMSLP_B_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_Y_RMSLP_C_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_Y_RMSLP_D_OUT16 H1:PEM-EX_EFM_BSC9_ETMX_Y_RMSLP_E_OUT16 Dave has installed and restarted the model, and restarted the DAQ, so all of the above channels should now be in the frames (LHO aLOG 41390), though there's nothing yet hooked up to it. MEDM overview screen to come. Other Details: I've wired up the signals to be connected to ADC Card Number 1 (counting from zero), channels 28 and 29 (again, counting from zero). These should correspond to the (dreadfully confusing and out of date) list of ISC channels for the end stations -- Section 4 of T1100472 -- in which these channels are labeled to be on - "ADC 0" (counting from zero, but actually corresponds to physical Card Number 1 in the IO chassis, which has 4 cards) under - "DB9_8" (the 8th DB9 spigot of a standard AA chassis that's hooked up to Card Number 1) - channels 29 and 30 (counting from 1) This is assuming that - the signals get plugged into a "Modified QPD Amplifier" indicated on Rich's new EFM wiring diagram, D1800088, which is a modified ISC Dual QPD Transimpedance Amplifier Chassis (D1002481) in which one half is converted to handle the output of this new field meter, recombined into the DB25 pin output, - sent to an ISC Whitening Chassis (D1002559) where we can gain up the signal before it's finally - sent out on a DB9 into Card Number 1's AA chassis, on the 8th port in the channels described above. but I'll have to confirm all of this with Rich. In addition to creating the new EFM block, I've also taken contamination control to heart, performing a bit of "clean as you go" on the h1pemex model. Attached are screenshots of the before & after. The clean-up includes: Top Level: - Moving the ADCs off to the left, and connecting them to the central EX block via tags instead of direct wires - Reordered in the inputs of the EX block, so that the ADCs come into the block in numerical order EX Block: - Wrapped the ambiguously named ADC_0 channels (which apparently read out the ESD driver's power monitors) into a subsystem, so they take up as much space as the other sensor blocks - Removed all of the unnecessary DAQ channel lists that merely contained commented out copies of the DouTone Channel - Completed the labeling scheme for all blocks, aligned them to the sensor blocks, and to themselves.
