Meas Setup: - UK Satamp D0900900, S1100173 - Suspension Satellite Amplifier Test Board: D1000878, ensuring . series resistor connected to PD K (cathode) is 240 kOhm-ish. . INPUT and NOISE OUTPUT knobs are in sync to match input and output channels. - Dual output DC power supply (set to +/-18V). - SR785 (no need for accessory box this time). (0) w/ DC power supply output OFF, set up banana to 3W3 power cable, and that voltage between pin 1 and pin 2 is +18V, and between pin 3 and pin 2 is -18V. Then SHUT OFF POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT (1) Use ribbon cable, or some other D25F (at D1000878) to D25M (at D0900900), to connect D1000878 J1 to D0900900 J1 VACUUM TANK (2) Use ribbon cable, or some other D25M (at D1000878) to D25F (at D0900900), to connect D1000878 J2 to D0900900 J2 ANALOGUE RACK (3) Connect DC power supply to 3W3 P1, turn ON output to DC power supply. Wait ~5 seconds, then confirm that the FAULT lights go OFF (instead of RED), and that +5V and +/-14V power supply lights are ON (green). (4) SR785 SRC Setup Make sure SR785 SRC is OFF and/or not driving anything. Use BNC T and two BNC cables to connect SR785 source to - CH1 A, (CH1 B terminated with 50 Ohm BNC terminator) - D1000878 BNC INPUT (J5). (5) SR785 Readback Setup Use wonky clip-doodle setup: (a) Attach 1x BNC-to-Clip-Lead adapter to D1000878 BNC NOISE OUTPUT (J7). The red clip is PD Whitened Out (+), and the black clip is PD Whitened Out (-) (b) Using 2x more BNC-to-Clip-Lead adapters, connect - 2x red signal clips to (a) adapter's black and red clips - 2x black shield clips to shield of BNC INPUT from (4). (c) Keeping track of which of the 2x adapters is attacted the (a) adapter's red clip, use BNC to BNC cables to connect - PD Whitened Out (+) to CH2 A - PD Whitened Out (-) to CH2 B Ready to measure!

The D1000878-v1 I have has R2 set to 242 kOhm. D0900900, S1100173 has (R102, R202, R302, R402) = (120.1, 120.1, 120.1, 120.0). SR785 SRC Autolevel ref OFF Amplitude == +0.3 V_pk single ended Means PD K input gets a current of V = I R I_IN = V_SRC / R_series = +0.3 [V_pk_SE] / 242e3 Ohm = 1.2397e-06 [A_pk], and that's read out by the TIA stage as V_TIAOUT = - I_IN * R_TIA = - V_SRC (R_102/R_series) = - 0.1489 [V_pk_SE] and the Whitening Stage has V_WHOUT = G * V_TIAOUT where max ( |G| ) = - 27.7 [V/V] = +4.1241 [V_pk_SE] which is mapped to each leg of the differential driver, so V_OUT+ = -1 * V_WHOUT V_OUT- = +1 * V_WHOUT V_OUT = (V_OUT+) - (V_OUT-) = -8.2482 [V_pk_DIFF] But, connected as described above with . V_OUT+ connected to CH2 A, . V_OUT- connected to CH2 B, each SE input sees +4.1241 [V_pk_SE], which is below the 5V max input of the SR785 inputs.
