Physical Setup https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-D2200215-v1 Chassis is on the bench in the EE shop, with cover on and mosts screws screwed in. Powered with a dual channel power supply with +/-18 (+18.1, -18.1) Current draw on positive leg is 170 mA, 100 mA on negative leg (reading from the power supply screen). Consistent with test report. Once powered on, All expected lights turn on. Connected DB25 breakout to front of chassis "Preamp Chamber Interface". For each channel measured - DCPD A channel: +leg = pin 5, -leg = pin 18, - DCPD B channel: +leg = pin 1, -leg = pin 14, During the measurement, the positive leg is shorted to the negative leg with a clip-lead to clip-lead cable This makes sure there's no differential noise at the input from floating input pins AND both legs are shorted to pin 13 (Chassis GND) with clip-lead to clip-lead cables. This establishes chassis GND as the voltage reference. Connected DB9 breakout to back of chassis "To AA/ADC Whitened Output" to readout output referred noise (which should be compared to the ADC noise) For each channel measured - DCPD A channel: +leg = pin 1, -leg = pin 6, - DCPD B channel: +leg = pin 2, -leg = pin 7, For each channel measured (they were measured independently) these output legs were connected differentially to the SR785 channel 2. Clip leads to BNC-style, with red connected to the positive / negative legs, and black (BNC shield) connected to pin 5 (chassis GND). SR785 will subtract A - B, so we plug the positive leg to A, and the negative leg on B. Now for the SR785 software setup (by hand, didn't want to waste time figuring out GPIB setup) Display Options Display: Live Format: Single X-axis: log RPM Frequency: OFF Grid: ON Grid Div: 10 Phase Suppress: 0.0e+00 d/dx window (%): 0.5 Display Setup Measure Group: FFT Measurement: FFT2 (for channel 2) View: Log Mag (really, log amplitude) Units: Vrms/rtHz dB Units: OFF Pk Units: rms PSD Units: ON Phase Units: (deg) dBm Ref Imped: 50 Freq (Three Spans used) Started with Span: 400 Hz Line Width: 500 mHz Acq.
