Power is back and most things are running again

To implement the bunch Signal Generator (DSG821 inside ESR) you have to:

1. unplug the Ethernet cable
2. under System / io config set the ip address
3. set Sub mask
4. set DNS
5. very important: than press Apply!
6. plug in Ethernet cable
7. than a message like "successfully connected to network" should show up
8. you can crosscheck the Settings by pressing the "eye symbol"

Bunching with 2 and 10 bunches succesfull

Schottky frequency (189th harmonic) = 244.033662 MHz

revolution frequency  frev = 1.2911834 MHz

bunching frequency h=2  --> fb = 2.582367 MHz
bunching frequency h=10  --> fb = 12.911834 MHz

Open Ultra Sigma
Press LAN
Press Search, after a while the whole rigol devices are shown. Press ok
Than you see the DSG821 (140.181.104.108) as online
right click -> open SCPI Command Terminal


*IDN?                 check for remote control
:FREQ 1.291MHz        set the RF Frequency to 1.291MHz
:FREQ?                return current frequency
:LEV 0.2V             set the amplitude to 200mV
:LEV?                 return current amplitude
:OUTP ON / OFF        set RF output ON or OFF
:OUTP?                returns 0 if output is OFF, returns 1 if output is ON

after some time there is an automatic logout of the scpi command panel. Close the panel and reopen the SCPI Command Terminal again to reconnect to DSG821 Signalgenerator. 
If this does not work, close the whole ultra sigma program, also in the taskbar (right click -> exit) and execute Ultra Sigma Program again

laser reprate is seven times the revoolution frequency: 9.038283 MHz
pulse length: 735ps

carbon main vi - kopie is now in operation

here, in keysight.vi the input settings for the new impedence for the multimeter are now hopefully correct --> THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED IF THE RING IS OPEN 

High rates on the detector at 50mm positions, laser does not seem to reach the exit window.

Because the C3+ part of the ion beam is properly bunched, it is no longer so sensitive to the drifts caused by the e-cooler. 
In the O4+ part of the ion beam these drifts can still be seen. 

relating to Danyals ID 25 post are the current bunching frequencies:

h=2      -->     2,5823668 MHz
h=4      -->     5,1647336 MHz
h=6      -->     7,7471004 MHz
h=7      -->     9,0382838 MHz
h=8      -->     10,3294672 MHz
h=10     -->     12,911834 MHz
h=12     -->     15,4942008 MHz
h=14     -->     18,0765676 MHz
h=16     -->     20,6589344 MHz
h=18     -->     23,2413012 MHz
h=20     -->     25,823668 MHz
h=30     -->     38,735502 MHz

1.) check h=2,4,6,7,8,10 .... bunching frequencies with different amplitudes (signalgenerator), Ecooler ON, Laser OFF --> record schottky and "normal" DAQ

2.) Ecooler ON, Bunching ON, Laser ON (wavelength fixed and/or scanned)

2.1) Do we see the laser in the Schottky? (The laser has to be on the right side of the bunches and act as a barrier to damp the oscillation of the ions inside the buckets.) 
If not change laser wavelength until we see the laser in the schottky 

2.2) Do we see fluorescence in the XUV Detector signal? Weak fluorescence signal --> check laser-bunch timing by varying the lead delay until we see the highest fluorescence signal. 
If we see no fluorescence signal change laser wavelength until we see fluorescence from the xuv anode signal.

3.) Do we see that some sidebands vanish in the schottky? Does the lifetime of the ion beam increase?
3.1.) If not "play" with Laserparameters, scans, delays, etc...

we had to go into the ESR because the amplifiers hooked up. both amplifiers were resetted!

we also checked why we didnt see the laser at the exit window.
Laser Shutter @ the exit is closed......................... E02VVLF2t needs to be opened!

attached should be the name of the entrance laser shutter. just in case somebody will close it ;)

1.) so far: 
h = 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 30
Amplitudes: (10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250) mV

now we will try to use the laser-toy ;-)

Ion frequency shifts with laser, both manually and scanned, without bunches: successful
Bunching with 7 and 20 bunches: successful
Tried laser scans with bunches: unsuccessful
Manual laser scans with bunches: successful

The ions were changed to a different speed today at 2 PM. The new revolution frequency is now 1.291278 MHz.

The lasersystem now operates at a reparte of 9.038946 MHz. This is 7 times f_rev (see previous post).

In the future, the laser-bunch-timing can be adjusted.
