10 +
11 +== GHz ADCs: SP-Devices ADQ412AC ==
12 +
13 +We have ADQ412AC-4G-MTCA digitizer cards for the experiment crates (Exp1, Exp2 and FL2Exp1):
14 +[[ADQ412_datasheet.pdf>>attach:10-0494_C_ADQ412_datasheet.pdf]] ( [[new version>>attach:10-0494-adq412_datasheet.pdf]], [[sampling rates table>>attach:Clocking_AppNote.pdf]])
15 +The cards are connected via Patch panels to the Experimental endstations and can be operated with a jddd panel:

23 +* **NOTE: between ADC and Patch panel we have installed an [[EMP protector>>attach:EMP_protector.pdf]] and an additional 1dB attenuator**
24 +* for the influence of the Patch cable and the EMP protector see also [[this logbook entry~[~[image:url:http://hasfweb.desy.de/pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/external-link.gif~|~|width="13" height="12"~]~]>>url:http://ttfinfo.desy.de/ExpHallelog/show.jsp?dir=/2016/27/08.07&pos=2016-07-08T17:41:07||shape="rect"]]

81 + ~* note that the sample rate is NOT locked to the FLASH repetition rate ! Thus there is a not integer number of samples between FLASH pulses. The sample rate also differs slightly from ADC card  to ADC card. The rough spacing is **1993.846** samples between 2 pulses at 1 MHz for details ask the local contact.

85 +===== ADC and DOOCS / DAQ =====
86 +
87 +The HDF5 names for the ADC traces are depending on the beamline :

111 +DOOCS prop : {{code language="none"}}FLASH.FEL/ADC.ADQ.PG/EXP1.CH00/CH00.TD  or CH00.DAQ.TD{{/code}}
112 +here the {{code language="none"}}CH00.TD{{/code}} is the full ADC trace as it is sampled ( typically several 100.000 samples per pulse train) while the {{code language="none"}}CH00.DAQ.TD{{/code}} trace only has the number of samples which are sent to the DAQ OR if //grouping// is activated the {{code language="none"}}CH00.DAQ.TD{{/code}} contains only the grouped spectra. To read the ADC trace with an online analysis program the {{code language="none"}}CH00.DAQ.TD{{/code}} is preferable to use ...
113 +DAQ channel: {{code language="none"}}FLASH.FEL/ADC.ADQ.PG/EXP1.CH00{{/code}}
114 +
115 +in addition there are also additional parameters saved like:
116 +
117 +* sample frequency (in MHz)
118 +* error (state)
119 +* offset

123 +== Amplifiers for the GHZ ADCs ==
124 +
125 +* **we can offer [[ Phillips scientific Model 6954>>attach:6954ds.pdf]] amplifiers** to either amplify small signals or to decouple setups which may deliver voltage peaks fro the ADCs.
126 +* The available ADCs 5x, 10x, 20 x 50x and 100x
127 +* The ADCs can be borrowed from Markus Braune
128 +* The Amplifiers fit perfectly to the dynamic range of the GHz ADCs - here a  [[ test of the Phillips scientific amplifier>>attach:Model_6954_Amplifier_Report.pdf]]
129 +* There are also [[BiasTs>>attach:ZX85-12G-S+.pdf]] available ([[link to internal page>>doc:FLASH.Bias T]])

132 +
133 +== 108 MHz ADCs:  Struck SIS8300-L2D ==
134 +
135 +There is one in each of the MTCAs in the hall: MTCA-EXP1 at PG/BL1, the other at BL2 and BL3.
136 +
137 +They are 16 bit, 10 channel, 125 MS/s ADCs.

144 +50 Ohm input impedance, -1 V,...,+1 V default input range, analog signals can be routed to AC and DC input stage. The coupling is DC via op-amp (switching to AC transformer involves resoldering of SMD solder bridges).
145 +
146 +Here is a trace of the first signal, a 1 MHz trigger connected from the x2timer board in the same MTCA:

152 +== Pulse energy server: Using the Struck SIS8300-L2D to detect only integrated values of pulses ==
153 +
154 +FS-LA (Falko Peters) programmed a pulse detection server that automatically detects peaks in the signal and integrates the samples around the peak.
155 +
156 +Things to set:
157 +
158 +* Min peak height: threshold fro which on some signal is considered to be a peak. The actual peak is then determined as the maximum of the counts after the threshold
159 +* pre and post peak integration time: how much ns to be integrated before and after the peak sample that are taken into account for the peak
160 +* pre and post peak noise time: before and after the samples that are taken for the actual signal these samples are used as background ( they also can be used to define the "deadtime" of the detector before it searches for new peaks.
