[dsg-hallb_gas] AHDC gas control

[Brian Eng]

Hi Whit,

The control pressure is measured by the transmitter in psig, which is then converted to mbar in software. According to the manufacturer it has a fixed 14.7 psi (so ~1013.529 mbar) offset. If the set point is at 90 mbar it is really ~1103.529 mbar.

The ambient pressure sensor readout that is being displayed got stuck, rebooting it got the values updating again. The EPICS PV that ALERT is using is B_SYS_WEATHER_FC_L1:Press2 in case you wanted to monitor it directly/separately.

Let me know if there’s any other questions.

Hi Bob, I’m out sick. So I’m forwarding this tho the group. Brian can probably look into it.

Also I looked and the input flow to MFC 308 is set to 20 sccm. Maybe change that to 167 sccm.

Hi Whitney,

I will refer this question to Marc, as he wrote the controls.

Hi Bob,

I have a question about the gas control system. When the alert gas set point is set to 90 mbar, what is that relative to in order to provide stable absolute pressure?

Also, the ambient pressure readout appears to not change and is at a value of 1017.54.

Thanks,
Whit
