During initial setup and calibration of a SOLA II Flare, the optimum PMT
supply voltage is set so that the highest concentration expected produces a
signal that is within the range that the rest of the electronics can process. The
voltage applied to the PMT is a negative dc voltage, and the lower the PMT
voltage the greater the sensitivity of the detector.
The Dual PMT Supply option adds the capability of two independent
analytical calibrations. During setup and calibration, supply A is assigned to one
range and supply B to the other. The voltage on each supply is adjusted using
the corresponding PMT voltage adjustment to accommodate the desired range.
The analyzer is then calibrated and tested for each range. During normal
operation, the supply voltage to the PMT is routed from either supply under
software control.
