I performed another continuity test on the RTD chassis wiring, and everything seems to be set up correctly. The chassis should be ready for installation.

Below is the current state of the RTD readout chassis wiring. Initial continuity tests seem good, will run through one more time to confirm.

The custom front and rear panels for the RTD readout chassis arrived last Friday. I installed them in the chassis frame to check their fit. They fit very well, so all that now remains is to complete the internal wiring and test the connections.

The chassis panel designs are archived to LIGO-D2300452 and LIGO-D2300453.

Below are a basic diagram of what the RTD measurement circuit logically looks like and an example schematic of the actual wiring. The schematic wiring will be placed internally into a chassis, connected to the RTDs via DB25 cable.

Note: The DB25 Breakout Board connector is Female, not Male.

Below is the proposed schematic for FROSTI optical testing, chosen so enough space is allotted for prototype assembly.

Steps to be taken include:

  1. Reconstruct FLIR staging apparatus
  2. Move test mass stand-in to cleanroom
  3. Mark FLIR camera position on cleanroom optical table at correct distance
  4. Run ethernet cable into cleanroom
  5. Move FLIR aside to allow for more assembly space
  6. Upon assembly completion, reposition FLIR onto optical table again

Tentative plan is to begin setup early next week.

Before the recent bake I slightly repositioned the temperature probe on the lid from beside the heater tape to under the heater tape. This was done to better know and control the temperatures of the chamber while baking. It has appeared to work with the temperatures being held very close to the 120C target.

An initial measurement of the cymbal ADC CSD is attached below. As of now, it seems that the sensitivity limit is roughly the same as that of the Red Pitaya.
