Template:Hierarchy header The Instrument Backplane GPIB Tester card has the same footprint as all plug-in MCE cards and can be used to measure impedances of the cryostat interface and identify shorts and opens in the cryostat and/or the MCE. The test setup relies on running a Labview script.
Additional Software
Labview solution
- For Windows Platform, Labview Report Generation Software, Version 1.1.1, National Instruments, here
python solution
Eric S. from GSFC has rewritten the code in pyton:
"The excel channel MUX spreadsheet is exported to .txt. This uses a Prologix GPIB/USB interface rather than National Instruments. The Prologix communicates as a serial device over pyserial. National instruments will work in python, too, but as far as I can tell only through installing pyvisa, which takes more setup than pyserial. Feel free to use and extend!"
Additional Hardware
- GPIB to USB Adaptor: National Instruments, GPIB-USB-HS OR GPIB-USB-B (discontinued)
- GPIB Cable: here
- Digital Multi-Meter: Agilent 34401A
