TCT Data Aquisition




General Comments:

  • For the DESY analysis program always start voltage scans at 0V and the go to higher voltages (or lower when applying negative bias).
  • Only use every voltage once when using DESY analysis program
  • always press rear at power supply (not done automatically)

General Settings

  • Byte order: default setting 2 should be used
  • Time between moves: 0.1s recommended
  • DRS capable of taking around 300 wavefroms per second
  • dont highlight whole cell in position moving window when reset position, it will move to the old value, but sets it as 0!

Laser:

  • For 'Particulars LASER control' only switch tab when laser is OFF, otherwise programm crash -> switch power off and on to controll it again.
  • signal from amplifier very high: reach limit of DRS input
    • close iris to reduce signal
    • Gregor recommends to have the iris at ~0.8cm (fixed)
    • there is a 'neutral density filter' NDF which attenuates the laser by factor 10
    • when setting the pulse width, don't press 'Disable DAC' after changing to the new value

Comment: waveform not good (too long) which affects data quality and focus scan precision; also in the most recent scans the double junction was not fully visible
