3. Lock the connector(s) in place.
4. Connect the Detector-Controller cable to the camera.
PI-MAX: Connect the female end of the cable to the "Power/Signal" port on the
camera.
PI-MAX2: Connect the female ends of the cable set to the "Signal" and "Power"
ports on the camera.
5. Lock the connectors in place.
Connecting to the Timing Generator
PTG
1. Verify that the Controller power is OFF.
2. If you are planning to operate in Gate Mode (see Chapter 7 for more
information), connect the PI-MAX to PTG cable (6050-0406) to the Timing
Gen connector on the PTG board and to the Timing Gen connector on the back
of the PI-MAX. Secure the cable with the locking hardware provided.
3. If you are using an external signal to trigger the gate timing sequence, use a BNC
cable to connect the signal source to the Ext. Trig. In connector on the PTG.
DG535
1. Verify that the Controller power is OFF.
2. Connect the Filter (2550-0347) to the Timing Gen connector on the back of the
PI-MAX and secure the locking hardware.
3. Connect the PI-MAX to DG535 cable (6050-0385) to the Filter on the back of
the PI-MAX and secure the locking hardware. The cable branches into three
BNC cables, which connect as follows.
The A Start cable connects to the DG535 A BNC output.
The B Stop cable connects to the DG535 B BNC output.
Gen II Intensifier: Connect the C+D-Gen II/A+B-Gen III cable to the
DG535 output if the PI-MAX has a Gen II intensifier and you plan
to do bracket pulsing. Leave the cable disconnected if you plan to operate in
Shutter Mode or will not be bracket pulsing.
Gen III Intensifier: Connect the C+D-Gen II/A+B-Gen III cable to the
DG535 output if the PI-MAX has a Gen III Intensifier.
4. Connect the DG535-to-Computer GPIB cable (6050-0170) from the IEEE-488
GPIB Std Port connector on the back of the DG535 to the interface connector
of the computer’s IEEE-488 Interface card.
5. Connect a BNC cable from the ST-133’s Ext. Sync input to the DG535’s BNC
D output.
6. Connect a BNC cable from the Controller’s connector to the Inhibit
input of the DG535 (The DG535 must be equipped with the Inhibit option). This
connection serves to prevent the DG535 from sending triggers while the array is
being read out.
