[dsg-hdice] Meeting with Zurich Rep for Boxcar Averager Demonstration

[thomaso at jlab.org]

Hi Tyler,

Thanks for the list of questions.  I passed them along to Ed Kluender at
Zurich.  He'll be doing the demo and answering our questions.  The demo is
scheduled for October 2, 2020 at 2PM.  I will forward his instructions on
how to join the meeting as soon as get them.

Thanks,
Tom

> Hi Tom,
>
> Thanks for arranging the meeting with Zurich. We do have a few questions
> on the Boxcar Averager and the lock-in amplifier
>
> Boxcar Averager questions:
>
> 1.  Is Boxcar Averager a separate device or is it just a software
> activation on the Zurich lock-in amplifier?
>
>
> 2.  Is the Boxcar Averager applicable to the signals seen for NMR
> measurements?
>
>     2a. Seems like from documentation it is more suited for fast, kHz
> peaks    where you know the period between peaks.
>     2b. Can we see an example with slower signals?
>

> General lock-in amplifier questions:
>
> 1. With the “Reference” options, the manual says that new data is divided
> by reference data. Is there a configuration where we can get it to do
> something else, like subtract, the reference signal from the new signal?
>
>
> 2.   Is there a way to do more complicated math using sweep results?
>
>     2a. We know you can extract information of signal’s peak, can that
> result then be used as one of the components of a calculation?
>
>
> 3.  What is the preferred programming interface for lock-in amplifier
> (LabVIEW, Python, other)?
>
>     3a. What interface is LabOne using?

>> Hi Tom,
>>
>> I would be interested in attending the virtual meeting and I think a few
>> others in DSG are, too.
>>
>> Once you have the meeting info, could you forward it to the DSG-HDice
>> mailing list so anyone who wants to can attend?
>>
>> Thanks!

>> Good Afternoon,
