ZEISS Non Descanned Detection (NDD) LSM 880

The NDD detectors need to be connected to the systems in the following way:
LSM 880 NLO
LVDS A
(LSM 880 detection)
LVDS B
T-PMT (via LSM 880 scanner)
LVDS C Reflected light NDDs
(followed by
NDD module channel 5,
followed by
GaAsP NDD 2 channels
)
LVDS D
BiG.2 on DCout port followed by Transmitted light NDDs (followed by NDD
module channel 5 )
If NDDs are present at a LSM system some of the hardware components are connected via sub-LVDS to
the realtime electronics as listed above. The NDD channels 3 and 4 only have to be connected to the
2 channel NDD module but don’t need a connection to the realtime electronics.
Fig. 8 Diagram illustrating the connection of non descanned detectors via LVDS to the realtime
electronics.
If one block/module is not present the subsequent module takes its place. BiG.2 as NDD can take the
place of the NDD module channel 5 or vice versa. Only two BiG.2 detectors of different type can be
connected to one LSM system. There can be additional subsequent modules in the chain. If a BiG.2 is
moved from the NDD position to the DCout port (or vice versa) it should be placed in the LVDS chain as
shown in this diagram.
