IAC FC Scanner AmineSyed

1. Attatch power cables to the translator system, contact any IAC personnel.

2. Take any cable, e.g, 223A3, and connect it to the Faraday Cup (FC) and properly ground it.

3. The FC signal from 223A3 will go to any channel of the dedicated Tektronix Oscilloscope (TDS3044-1). This step is important for signal acquisition purposes during beam scan.

4. 223D1 takes signal from linac's gun trigger. Observe the shape of the pulse on Oscilloscope, if beam is not properly tuned or any cable is not properly terminated then the shape of the pulse will not be rectangular in shape. Always show shape of the pulse to the operator.

5. Power on two black boxes: one for translator power and the other one for the controller system.

6. Launch Pulse Recording Software and follow the following steps:

  Motion -> Connect
  Motion -> Operate  
  These two steps will connect to the translator system
