Bias Voltage
This is the bias power supply. There are 4 output channels, we are using
channel 1 (left in this photo. Channels 2, 3, 4 are disabled (see the
switches), and therefore the indicator lights are green (safe).
- Verify that the channel 1 knob is turned all the way down
- Verify that the channel 1 switch is in the center (100 V) position
- Verify that the Ortec unit power is off
- Turn the crate power ON
- Turn the Ortec unit power ON - lots of lights come on
- Push the reset button - channels 2, 3, 4 go green
- Verify that the channel selector is set to CURRENT 1
- Verify that the current reads 0

Wedge power

switched from the GUI (below). When ON, it should read 2.5 V.

GUI
The GUI can be started from the start menu:
- The Output On/Off switches the wedge power.
- Under Wedge Configuration, set the serial number (wedge ID), select
small/large, Bias V to 70 V.
- At the bottom, select CalibrateWedge, or SourceTest
- When ready, hit Start. SourceTest takes 3 minutes (settable), and the
CalibrateWedge takes about 45 seconds.

After a calibration run or a source test run, you can look at the results.
You have to convert the output .dat file to a root file, with the raw2root.shscript. Files are in /c/e, and they have the wedge ID (here 097) in it, and
the date (here 20101212). Tabbing works.
