SUSEX Ligo DAC 32 (LD32) testing at EX

Per WP12079 we started measurements to compare directly the 20 bit DAC driving the ESD and L3 to our LD32. 

Comparing ESD Driving Signals
Test 1 - LD32 bank 1 (ch 0-7) attached to 0-7 on the PEM ADC ; 20 bit DAC ESD signal attached to 8-15 on the PEM ADC

Comparing L3 Driving Signals
Test 2 - 20 bit DAC L3 attached to 0-7 PEM ADC : LD32 bank 2 (ch 8-15) attached to 8-15 on the PEM ADC

After analysis of the data, we measured about ~14us delay in the LD32 which is accounted for by the Anti Imaging filter on the FPGA.  We also determined the gain should be ~275.65 to achieve the same calibration between both DACs.

Driving the ESD and L3 with the LD32 will be postponed until next week.
