28.1	13	We have ADQ412AC-4G-MTCA digitizer cards for the experiment crates (Exp1, Exp2 and FL2Exp1):

9.1	15	The cards are connected via Patch panels to the Experimental endstations and can be operated with a jddd panel:

10.1	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.

	84	===== ADC and DOOCS / DAQ =====

	86	The HDF5 names for the ADC traces are depending on the beamline :

16.1	116	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 ...

	118
	119	in addition there are also additional parameters saved like:

	121	* sample frequency (in MHz)

6.1	125	== Amplifiers for the GHZ ADCs ==
2.1	126
6.1	127	* 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.
	128	* The available ADCs 5x, 10x, 20 x 50x and 100x
	129	* The ADCs can be borrowed from Markus Braune
16.1	130	* 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]]
32.1	131	* There are also [[BiasTs>>attach:ZX85-12G-S+.pdf]] available that can be borrowed ([[link to internal page>>doc:FLASH.Controls, Data recording & Analysis.IT Docu (expert stuff).Hardware (Computers, MTCA & motorcontrol).Bias T.WebHome]])[[image:1720425048368-937.png]]

	133	== 108 MHz ADCs: Struck SIS8300-L2D ==
	134
2.1	135	There is one in each of the MTCAs in the hall: MTCA-EXP1 at PG/BL1, the other at BL2 and BL3.
	136
23.1	137	They are 16 bit, 10 channel, 125 MS/s ADCs. Here is a link to the [[Struck website>>url:https://www.struck.de/sis8900.html\|\|shape="rect"]]

	140	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).
	141
	142	Here is a trace of the first signal, a 1 MHz trigger connected from the x2timer board in the same MTCA:

6.1	147	== Pulse energy server: Using the Struck SIS8300-L2D to detect only integrated values of pulses ==
2.1	148
12.1	149	FS-LA (Falko Peters) programmed a pulse detection server that automatically detects peaks in the signal and integrates the samples around the peak.
2.1	150
12.1	151	Things to set:
	152
	153	* 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
2.1	154	* 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
	155	* 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.
