  3. Setting the voltage at the end of the Type2 cables (1) • Via the labview interface it is possible to set the voltage desired at the end of the Type 2 cables • The regulators use the measurement done via the sense lines to adjust their outputs, according to the load current, to keep this value constant • The setting of the desired voltage at the end of the Type 2 cables is done by adjusting the regulator´s potentiometer • 1.23V – 2.17V • At start up the value of the potentiometer is not predictable • Before powering the regulator board give a KILL command to disable all the regulators outputs • Then power the board, move the potentiometer of the powered channel to -99 • In this way the voltage at the output of the regulator is 1.23V (minimum achievable value) after UNKILL • The cursor in the program allows to chage the potentiometer value with respect to its current position. Example: • 1.231V → +10 → 1.290V, ΔV = 0.059V • 1.490V → +10 → 1.591V, ΔV = 0.101V L. Gonella

  4. Setting the voltage at the end of the Type2 cables (2) • The regulation is not linear. Example: • 1.231V → +10 → 1.289V, ΔV = 0.051V • 1.231V → +20 → 1.359V, ΔV = 0.128V • 1.231V → +30 → 1.421V, ΔV = 0.190V • To know what value is set the best way is to measure it directly at the end of the cable • It is also done by the software but this does not give a precise value • An ADC on the regulator board reads the sensed voltage • In the experiment this is read out by the DCS which contains the calibration curve of the ADC • In this setup the ADC is read by the controller which does not store the calibration curve but has only a few points • The measurement of the regulator output can be done on the connector at the beginning of the Type 2 cable L. Gonella
