To Do
- Help Andy organize the photos of the new microscoe
- more OT?
- w/e Koch/grads need
Photos
- Going through the photos that Andy and Brigette took yesterday and putting part no's and descriptions on them
- Andy Maloney 20:56, 15 July 2009 (EDT): Really good job by the way.
Optical Table
- Turns out that the epoxy that I coated the one valve/controller with popped while Ant, Larry and I were looking over the table and trying to level it
- As such, I redid 2 coats of epoxy
- There was also a problem with it staying still (since the valve thing was not designed for that table, someone jerry rigged some kind of mounting system that really sucks)
- In this event, Larry and I used cable ties to try to keep it still
- We also made a large "stopping arm" for the lever that controls air flow
- The table floats relatively quiet now and there were no leaks at the end of the day
- Will need to check it again tomorrow and eventually replace this faulty valve/controller thing
New DAQ
- Koch has a new USB DAQ board on loan from someone here @ CHTM
- I have it hooked up to Kochlab-DAQ2
- Only tested the 0 pin on the sum signal on the QPD
- To test the QPD, i turned on the power supplies and then the halogen lamp.
- I can see on the screen (using NI measurement and automation program) that is I increase the amount of light the diaphragm lets out I get higher signal on the QPD
Koch's Office Comp
- Koch and I moved his office computer into the new lab to act as the camera controller
- It turns out that the USB card that is in his computer doesnt appreciate the camera.
- Important for all the computers in the lab with said card, if possible, attach important items into the port that is attached to the mother board
- It goes really fast and runs larry's program just fine
