Physical setup Measuring transimpedance amplifier by itself. [1] Actual Board S/N SN 02 [2] In-vac "QPD" Enclosure S/N S2100832 [3] Transimpedance Circuit Schematic D2000592 Now using D2200215 whitening chassis as a much more convenient user interface. Don't have to power down the whitening or DPCDs to connect or disconnect at all, so thermal state should be quite stable. Now using Connecting SR785 differential drive BNCs to clip-doodles to DB9 breakout pins 1(neg)-6(pos) (with shield connected to chassis GND pin 5), into "From AI/DAC" DB9 port in the back of the D2200215 chassis. Connecting SR785 response comes from the preamp output monitoe BNC spigots at the front of the D2200215 chassis, "A+" to CH2 A "A-" to CH2 B. ONCE ALL TURN THE ANALOG RELAYS FOR THE DCPDs ON.

First time doing this, so let's explore. (1) Add DB25 breakout board between DCPD input cable and Whitening Chassis. Connect DAC Drive (DUT + and - from SR785 Accessory Box) into DCPDA + signal pin 5 shield 13 - signal pin 18 shield 13 DCPDB + signal pin 1 shield 13 - signal pin 14 shield 13 Leave response drive connected via normal BNC outputs as above. and *RECONNECT AND POWER BACK ON* the DCPD preamp. This ended at ~12:15 pm PST (2) Same set up, but POWER DOWN DCPD preamp (since (i) you've already got the fully thermalized preamp measurement above, and it's not involved in the "setup" measurement, it's OK to let the preamp "unthermalize"). At 12:45, we disconnected the DB25 breakout and re-powered on the DCPD preamps. At 12:50 we took, in parallel a DAC driven measurement of *just* the preamp. Whitening OFF Relay ON Compensation for Whitening and TIA (and A2mA) OFF. Data saved to /ligo/svncommon/CalSVN/aligocalibration/trunk/Common/Electronics/H1/SensingFunction/OMCA/ (3) Just measure the SR785 accessory box alone, hooking DUT + - into channels into CH2 of the SR785. (the SR785 + and -) are still connected to CH1 of SR785.
