Test 1: Adapter Board Connected to Filter Board

  • Setup: AI Chassis is powered on. Signal is measured directly from the adapter board. All other ports on the adapter board are connected to the filter board.
  • Observation: Two distinct spikes observed at the beginning of the measurement.

Test 2: Adapter Board Disconnected from Filter Board

  • Setup: AI Chassis remains powered on. Signal is again measured directly from the adapter board. This time, the remaining ports on the adapter board are not connected to the filter board.
  • Observation: Multiple spikes observed, distributed evenly across the entire measurement.

Test 3: Isolation Test with Spare Adapter Board (ongoing)

  • Setup: Suspecting the original adapter board may be faulty, a spare adapter board is used for comparison. Signal is measured directly from this spare board.

Update, 04/08/25, Tue 17:30

Took the old adapter board out of the AI chassis and and used it to connect DAC to AA chassis. If no spikes are seen, it means that the glitches are not originating from this board.

Also checked al the previous spikes using the raw data (65536 Hz sample rate). The duration of the glitches are ~1 second, despite the previous guess that they are happening in the Milli-second scale.

Test 4: AI Chassis ground isolation

  • Setup: AI Chassis isolated from the ground with readout directly connected to adapter board
  • Observation: No spike observed.

Test 5: Ribbon cable check

  • Setup: AI Chassis remains isolated from the ground. The signal is measured after the ribbon cable. (Attachment 3)
  • Observation: No spike observed.

Test 6: Single ground connection check

  • Setup: AI chassis powered on but remains isolated from the frame. The signal is measured from the output of the AI Chassis. (Attachment 1 ,2)
  • Observation: No spike observed.

Test 7: Reconnect ribbon cables

  • Setup: Reconnect all the ribbon cables, and turned on the AI Chassis while isolated rack
  • Observation: No spike observed.

Test 8: Reconnect to rack

  • Setup: Reconnect the AI Chassis to the rack.
  • Observation: No spike observed.

Test 9: Restore to original position.

  • Setup: CLose up the AI Chassis, and put it back to its original location.
  • Observation: No spike observed.
