Discriminators
All needed specifications can be found within the appropriate manual
CAEN N841 Leading Edge Discriminator
Modes: Update and Non-Update
- For use with He3 tube, Update vs Non-update mode did not seem to make a difference in discriminator output.
- See pages 10 & 12 in user manual
Lecroy 821 Quad Discriminator
File:LRS 821 Specifications.pdf
Tektronix DPO 4104 Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope
For reference: Input to discriminators is spec amp output with the following settings
Course gain: 10
Fine gain: 1
Shaping type: Gaussian
Shaping time: 2us
Purple: Input signal from spec amp. Yellow: CAEN Dual Timer using Lecroy Disc as input. Aqua: Lecroy Disc Output. Lime:: CAEN Update Mode Disc Output.
Purple: Input signal from spec amp. Yellow: CAEN Dual Timer using Lecroy Disc as input. Aqua: Lecroy Disc Output. Lime:: CAEN Update Mode Disc Output.
