For some preliminary tests, I moved the IR photodetectors outside of the cleanroom and onto the other optical table. The basic goal was to obtain a signal from both photodetectors. To achieve this, one of the heater cartridges used for early FLIR measurements months ago was hooked up to a power supply (PS). The PS was set to supply 0.20 A with a voltage of 2.8 V; the corresponding power is thus 0.56 W. With this, I was able to measure a signal using the Red Pitaya, the device that will be used for following RIN measurements.

I have begun moving parts into the cleanroom for the upcoming FROSTI RIN tests that will be conducted within the next few weeks. While waiting for the rest of the equipment to arrive to perform the full-scale tests, I have additionally moved the FROSTI under the shelf above the optical table, where it will stay for the meantime. As always, please use caution when in the cleanroom. Aside from the FROSTI, the IR photodetectors that will be used for the test are delicate and costly to replace.
