Ortec 571 Simile a quello in figura (ma modello piu’ vecchio) Amplificatore general-purpose Uscita uni/bi-polare Basso rumore Ampio intervallo di guadagni Controllo del tempo di shaping P/Z cancellation Auto/manual BLR 31-Mar-06 A. Cardini / INFN Cagliari

5 Amplificatori: i controlli
COARSE GAIN  Front-panel 6-position switch to select X15, X25, X50, X125, X250, and X500 gain factor. When internal X5 attenuator is used, the coarse gain factors represent X3, X5, X10, X25, X50, and X100, respectively. A continuously variable voltage gain of X0.9 to X500 can be obtained. (Gain reduced by factor of two when cable clip is used.) FINE GAIN  Front-panel single-turn potentiometer, continuously adjustable from 0.3 to 1.0. P/Z  Front-panel screwdriver adjustable potentiometer to adjust pole-zero cancellation for decay time constants from 25 µs to infinity. DIFF  Front-panel 7-position switch selects a differentiation time constant to control the decay time of the pulse. Decay tD with ti = Out. The tD settings include Out, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 ns. INT  Front-panel 7-position switch selects an integration time constant to control the rise time of the output pulse. The rise time ti with tD = Out. The ti settings include Out, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 ns. Rise time in the Out position is <5 ns, equivalent to a ti <2.3 ns. INV/NONINV  Front-panel locking toggle switch selects inversion or noninversion of the input signal. BLR ADJ  Front-panel screwdriver adjustment to set the Gated BLR threshold from ±50 mV to ±500 mV referred to the output. BLR GATED/UNGATED  Printed wiring board (PWB) jumper selects gated or ungated BLR operation. Factory-set in gated position. BLR LED  This feature enables the user to quickly adjust the BLR threshold setting near the noise peak. Front-panel LED indicates an output amplitude has exceeded the BLR threshold. The BLR LED can be used as a visual indicator of the output counting rate. 31-Mar-06 A. Cardini / INFN Cagliari

9 Uso di una catena completa
Preamplificatore 142AH collegato al rivelatore (o ad un iniettore di carica) Shaper realizzato con 570 o 579 Osservare segnali in uscita dallo shaper Attenzione alle impedenze di ingresso e di uscita dei vari pezzi. Sono “strane”!!! Variare a piacere i tempi di integrazione/differenziazione e/o shaping Osservare cosa succede muovendo la regolazione del P/Z cancellation 31-Mar-06 A. Cardini / INFN Cagliari
