[dsg-hdice] Found a built in averaging and referencing feature on sweep tab of Zurich lock-in amplifier

Tue Oct 13 16:35:44 EDT 2020

Hi Tyler,

Do you have any new version of VIs for Oxford IPS? We may have a time to install and check.

Thanks,

Xiangdong

Hi Tyler,

The Main2.vi failed to work this morning. Again I could run both VIs separately, but not together. When 2 power supplies were linked by a GPIB cable, The Main2.vi always failed to run. Main.vi only failed after I tried to run Main2.

I removed the GPIB cable between the supplies for today's run.

Any thought?

Thanks,

Xiangdong

Hi Tyler,

Good news: The GPIB cable which I used to connect the 2 Oxford power supplies was broken. Since I replaced it this morning, both VIs have been used to drive the IBC Main and Transfer Magnets in the same time.

Thanks,

Xiangdong

Hi Tyler,

Thank you for fast responding. I didn’t reconfigure the rack2 connections, only used a GPIB cable to connect both power supplies. In principle, the connections were the same as your drawing (the adapter is on the lock-in).

I did use the front panel to set the GPIB address, following the Oxford manual.

What I didn’t do was checking if the cable was good or not. I’ll look for another one and check again. (The cave is locked out now)

Thanks,

Xiangdong

Hi Xiangdong,

Just to make sure everything is hooked up correctly and since I can’t see it in person, attached is a hand drawn sketch for how the set up needs to be.

There needs to a a GPIB cable between the two power supplies. The USB-GPIB adapter needs to go on to the connector of one of the power supplies. In the sketch, it’s on P.S. # 1 but it could also be on P.S. # 2.

If everything is already set up as in the sketch, it could be that the second power supply didn’t actually get assigned the new GPIB address. How did you set its address?

You would need to set it on the front panel of the power supply. In the attached manual, page 48 has the steps to get the power supply into the mode to set the address. Page 49 has the info on what to do to set the GPIB address.

Tyler

Hi Tyler,

I set the GPIB address of the 2nd power supply to 29, and tried to connect to the 1st power supply via a glib cable between them. None of them work with this configuration—-both displayed errors. Either one works after disconnecting glib cable from another, after selecting the correct GPIB address. How do I connect 2 supplies (with same bus address)? Do we need another GPIB-USB adapter?

Thanks,

Xiangdong

Hi Xiangdong,

Another point about controlling two power supplies from the same computer, the power supplies each need to have a unique GPIB address.

If the power supplies have previously been used for the rotation of target polarization program, they should already be set up this way.

Hi Xiangdong,

I added a second copy of the Oxford power supply VI to the fsNMR LabVIEW project.

Both copies are in a new folder in the project (see attached screenshot).

You only have to put the correct GPIB address into each of the programs and run each program to control both power supplies.

Hi Tyler,

After reviewing the UITF run plans, I just realized that we need to remotely drive 2 independent Oxford superconducting magnet power supplies at the same time, not just 1.

Would you please check to see if it is possible to add another VI to Rack 2 computer to realize this mode?

Thanks,

Xiangdong

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for sharing this with us!  I will check it out shortly.
