BEST System Installation
The following sections describe the various steps to interconnect the
BEST
instrumentation.
2.1
Connect the
TetrAMM
to the phBPM
The first building block of the
BEST
instrumentation suite is the
TetrAMM
picoammeter. This unit is designed to read and convert to digital format the analog
currents from the phBPM (photon Beam Position Monitor). This data is essential to
determinate position and the intensity of the X-ray beam.
The
TetrAMM
must be connected with the phBPM using the four analog input
connectors placed on the front side of the unit. The BNC connectors are miniature
quick connect/disconnect RF connectors mainly used for coaxial cables. Channel
incremental numbering, as can be seen in
, is right-to-left (CH1 is to the right
while CH4 is to the left). Please note that the order of the BNC connections with the
phBPM is not important, as the
BEST
Control and Interface Unit software allows to
freely select the input channel configuration.
