Nominal Operating Voltages and Currents

    
    

Thermal

Test conditions:

  • Detector running and stabilized for two hours, nominal settings.
  • Record thermometer and humidity sensor readings:

        
        

-        Electrical

  • Document grounding scheme
  • Read/record all available voltages and currents

-        Performance

  • Force high gain mode
  • Collect 1000 darks for analysis (Conny test 1; pedestals, noise, bad pixel map)
  • Force medium gain
  • Collect 1k darks (C2, pedestals/offsets, noise, bad pixel map)
  • Force low gain
  • Collect 1k darks (C3, pedestals/offsets, noise, bad pixel map)

-        Offsets due to ambient visible light

  • Viewports open/closed
  • In-chamber lights
  • Any laser sources planned

-        Mechanical

  • Verify range of motion
  • Verify gate non-interference gate valve operation
  • Record encoder readings for position scaling

-        Assess

  • If operation is nominal, move on to next block
  • If time allows, vary airflow +/- 20% to check dependence
  • Return gain to autoranging

 

 

1)     Beam set up (12h, full shift) (wave8 monitoring throughout)                                      (t = 0)

 

-        No sample (60 min)

  • Set max attenuation
  • Pass beam through beam pipe to check alignment, systematics and baseline scatter.
  • Collect 1k frames for analysis.  Expect ~no signal.
  • Set midrange attenuation
  • Collect 1k frames for analysis.
  • Set zero attenuation
  • Collect 1k frames for analysis.

-        Assess

  • If operation is nominal, move on to next block
  • If time allows consider other attenuations, moving in z
  • Return to max attenuation

 

-        Sample setting (TBD)                                                                                                               (t = 1h)

  • Set z mid-range
  • Attenuator scan (1.5h)
  • Assess flux level.  If satisfied, continue at z-scan step.  Otherwise:
  • Adjust sample jet (setting B)
  • Attenuator scan (1.5h)
  • Assess flux level.  If satisfied, continue at z-scan step.  Otherwise:
  • Adjust sample jet (setting C)
  • Attenuator scan (1.5h)
  • Assuming that we’ve got a good flux level, move to z-scan

 

-        Set attenuator for moderate-flux level and scan in z (60 min)                                      (t = 5.5h)

  • Move detector close to sample point
  • Collect 1k frames for analysis
  • Move detector far from sample point
  • Collect 1k frames for analysis
  • At this point we believe the beam/sample are well adjusted and understood, move on to commissioning signal tests.
  • Re-set to mid-range in z.
  • If time allows, move on to next block early.

 

-        High gain flats (fixed gain)                                                                                                                     (t = 6.5h)

  • Set sample and choose attenuator range (30 min)
  • Run attenuator scan (60min)
  • Set attenuator mid-range
  • Vary integration time (if this is possible) (60)
  • If time allows:

                                                    i.     Vary bias +/- 20%

 

-         Medium gain flats (fixed gain)                                                                                                             (t = 9h)

  • Set sample and choose attenuator range (30 min)
  • Run attenuator scan (60min)
  • Set attenuator mid-range
  • Vary integration time (if this is possible) (60)
  • If time allows:

                                                    i.     Vary bias +/- 20%

 

-        Low gain flats (fixed gain)                                                                                                                      (t = 11.5h)

  • Set sample and choose attenuator range (30 min)
  • Run attenuator scan (60min)
  • Set attenuator mid-range
  • Vary integration time (if this is possible) (60)
  • If time allows:

                                                    i.     Vary bias +/- 20%

 

-        Full range flats (autoranging)                                                                                                               (t = 14h)

  • Set sample and choose attenuator range at widest possible (30 min)
  • Run attenuator scan (60min)
  • Set attenuator mid-range
  • Vary integration time (if this is possible) (60)
  • If time allows:

                                                    i.     Vary bias +/- 20%

 

-        Repeat baseline tests      (3h)                                                                                                                 (t = 17h)

 

-        End                                                                                                                                                              (t = 20h)
