2001/3/4(Sun) 16:00-17:30 @ SEDS Lab Present: Ravinder, Yuki, Ben We keep trying to understand what we already have and what exactly we still need so we can begin actual construction soon. We came up with some questions to help us progress: Questions: -What all are already in the electronics box (that we can use)? -Power supply: Does the existing power supply in the box work? -What exactly is a level shifter/translator? -Where do we need an amplifier? (between pre-amp and ADC?) Electronics: We should probably use a desktop computer so we can easily add cards. Ravinder has a PC (486) that we could use. We should use LabVIEW (Ravinder has a copy for Windows) for things like timing and image display. We need to decide which analog-to-digital converter to buy. To install a thermister, we should drill a hole from the back of the camera head and seal with stycast later. Who can do this? Edward? Then we can put another BNC socket on the saddleback for monitoring CCD temperature. Can Ravinder meet with Andy at JPL Monday (tomorrow) after lunch, 13:15?
