Analog PMT Controller

Hardware

This driver can control a PMT high voltage power supply by means of analog / digital control signals. An example for such a power supply is the Janelia PMT Controller.

Warning

Instructions provided here are not a substitute for the user manual provided with the purchased model of PMT and PMT Controller

Connect the controller to the PMT via the provided cables.

If applicable, make connections of DAQ ports to the PMT controller inputs and outputs for:

  • Gain (AO)

  • Enable (DO)

  • Trip Detect (DI)

  • Trip Reset (DO)
