The optimum brightness level in ABC mode is set by adjusting Brightness
Control Resistor R13 on the AEC Control Board, which controls the output of
the Photomultiplier Tube High Voltage power supply on the Interface Control
Board ( “PT CRL” plus 5 volts programs the output to be 0 volts, and 0 volts
programs the output to approximately --1200 volts). The window comparator
requires an input range from 0 to +10 VDC for the “ABC IN” (the optimum
brightness level will be achieved with a value between 5 and 7 VDC).
