Physical setup https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-D2200215-v1 Chassis is on the bench in the EE shop, with cover off. powered with a dual channel power supply with +/-18 (+18.2, -18.1) Current draw on positive leg is 260 mA, 110 mA on negative leg. Consistent with test report. Once powered on, All expected lights turn on. Connected DB25 breakout to front of chassis "Preamp Chamber Interface". DCPD A channel: +leg = pin 5, -leg = pin 18, BNC shields both connected to GND = pin 13. Connected DB9 breakout to back of chassis "To AA/ADC Whitened Output" DCPD A channel: +leg = pin 1, - leg = pin 6, BNC shields both connection to GND = pin 5. Remember, 1:10 whitening filter is ON with the Whitening Disable relays OFF.

After plugging in securely, can get great data with only 1 V_pk. Also scaled down ADC input range accordingly, Scaled back settle *cycles* from 1 to 2 to save time. Source Ramp Rate 1 V/sec, but Source Ramping OFF (Since we're driving down to 0.1 Hz, and our *start* frequency is 0.1 Hz (i.e. we're sweeping *up*, we don't want to waste any time ramping this *too* in addition to the settle time between sweep frequency changes.) Offset 0.0 V (hmmm... maybe we should? Later...) Input Setup Input Source: Analog Input Config: CH 1 (Both Channels) Mode: A-B (positive legs into A, negative legs into B) Coupling: AC (0.16 Hz) AA filter ON Wt filter OFF Autorange UP ONLY Input Range (for 1.0 V source amplitude, 50 ms / 5 cycle integration): CH1: +4 dBVpk CH2: +22 dBVpk Transducer Params: (all as default; unused in this style of measurement) Tach Input: (all as default; unused in this style of measurement) Playback Config: (all as default; unused in this style of measurement) Auto Offset OFF Average Setup Step / Impulse response of a basic 1:10 zpk filter is 0.1 sec. (there's probably some math that would predict that for me, but I tossed it into matlab and asked it to do it for me.) Adding a 10 kHz pole *shortens* the impulse *time*, but increases the impulse *amplitude*. So, a settle time of order 0.1 seconds is in order. Frequencies higher than 0.1 sec = 10 Hz should use settle time, and below 10 Hz should use cycles (and one cycle should be plenty). Settle Time = 100 ms (101.56 ms) Settle Cycles = 1 Integration Time = 50 ms (50.781 ms) Integration Cycles = 5 with freq = [0.1 102.4e3] and 200 points, this takes 911 seconds = 15 minutes Output Hard Copy Button ASCII Dump Bitmap Printer PC X 8 Bit Bitmap Area Graphs Vector / Plotter PostScript (doesn't matter, unused) Destination Disk File File Start Number 0 Good deal. Starting with DCPDB Whitening ON, since that's where I left off yesterday. Only have changed input source voltage, response channel input ranges, and reduced settle cycles, so frequency vector should be the same, allowing for comparison with yesterday. All data looks much better. 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_MeasSetup_mag.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_MeasSetup_pha.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDA_WhiteningOFF_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_mag.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDA_WhiteningOFF_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_pha.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDA_WhiteningON_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_mag.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDA_WhiteningON_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_pha.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDB_WhiteningOFF_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_mag.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDB_WhiteningOFF_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_pha.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDB_WhiteningON_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_mag.TXT 2023-01-24_OMCDCPDWhitening_OMCA_DCPDB_WhiteningON_0p1to102p4e3Hz_1Vsrcinput_pha.TXT OK -- now starting to explore the non-linearity. 0.25 V 20, 21 (CH1/CH2 +4/+22 dBVpk input range) 1.00 V 22, 23 2.50 V 26, 27 (+10/+30) 3.00 V 28, 29 3.50 V 30, 31 (+12/+30)
