Status of Readout Boards and Gas Monitor Craig Woody BNL HBD Working Group Meeting August 1, 2006
Status of Readout Boards • 10 LHS and 10 RHS boards are nearly complete. Should have remaining 6 LHS and 6 RHS from stuffing house at BNL today • Procedure • Receive boards at BNL. Check power planes and mount through hole • components (~ 30 min/board) • Check that all channels with test pulse are within acceptable output range • Have found a few bad channels doing this, which are repaired before gluing • Glue on Rohacell backing (4 boards/day) • Do final testing after gluing. Pulse each channel and record each preamp • output and noise level in data base(~ 1 hour/board) • Cross talk • There is no evidence for any cross talk when pulsing only one group at a time. There are some small effects of cross talk (~2-5%) when pulsingall channels simultaneously (partly due to test box) C.Woody, HBD Working Group Meeting, 8/1/06
