Day 25


I was able to figure out how to operate the delay box that we want to use to trigger the CCD camera and laser despite a not very helpful manual. I set the pulse to trigger two pulses through two separate output cables that were 50 nanoseconds apart and each lasted for 5 nanoseconds. This will be used to trigger the camera after a very short delay so that the laser has time to reach sample before the camera begins its exposure. The delay box settings were tested used an oscilloscope which displays electrical input signals. Ronny is working now to find a way to connect the delay box to the camera because they do not use the same type of cable.
