Flasher Board Current Pulse 12/16/03

(Xu Zhai and Mark Krasberg)

We used the discriminator trigger and captured a bunch of waveforms. We analyzed them one-at-a-time until we got a waveform with a junk pulse at the beginning and a flasher board current pulse and corresponding PMT waveform a little later on.

In these plots time flows backwards. You can see ATWD channels 0,1, and 2 and the Muxed flasher LED current is on channel 3. The flasher LED seems to be quite bright! With the (default) settings we were using ATWD channel 2 is normally saturated near the peak - this time ATWD channel 2 did not saturate.

the time scale is about 3.5ns per bin.

DAC 14 is set to 1023.
