    I do.  We use both the DLPCA and the DHPCA from Femto at APS 7-BM.  The way it is set up here, we just use the Unidig digital I/O card in the VME crate to drive the individual lines on the DB-25.  We have the DB-25 and the output of the Unidig both hooked up to screw terminal breakouts and just patched individual wires between them.  There isn't anything special about the Unidig; I think any digital I/O capability would work.  The EPICS support works nicely for these, though it is fairly simple; it is basically just controlling the gain, coupling (AC vs. DC) and filtering.  I don't believe changes to the bias or offset are incorporated.  I hope this helps; feel free to forward this to Ibrahim.

Dear All,

 

I have a question regarding the FEMTO amplifier DLPCA-200.

What is the recommended I/O card to connect the amplifier to it? The EPICS support for DLPCA-200, which is inside “std-3-1”, will it support that hardware?

 

Best Regards,
