Subject: Timing Chassis issue identified 

[Ma, Luis, Shane]

Working theory for the timing chassis issues had been that the 1A breaker was tripping and causing the failure of the Valon 5015 and 3010 to output the timing signal correctly. We just tried bypassing the breaker, running 6 V on the benchtop power supply (set the current limit to 1.5A), with the 5010 generating the sine wave to pass to the 3010. All worked correctly, and there were no issues. Square wave outputted by the 3010 was exactly as desired (image attached) at the correct frequency, and this confirms the issue was the breaker, not the valon 5015. Ready to go ahead with ordering a new replacement breaker.
