LFC Troubleshooting Report G. Rahmer 2008-12-02
2
2 The problem CCD#2 reported as failing intermittently in August '08 Bad images become more common in October. CCD#5 is also reported as having problems, although not as severe. Camera is brought to campus in November 4th. LFC Focal Plane
3
3 Bad clock signal found Parallel clock P1A (CLK#4-p1 ->P0-p59) (low level floating) Normal parallel clock (not acquired at the same time)
4
4 Actions Replaced faulty clock board (SN269) by spare board from lab stock (SN336). Replacement board required an adjust in the gain of volt ref op-amp to match original LFC board: changed R70 from 10 Kohm to 4.99 Kohm. Will send faulty board for repair to Leach (if possible).
5
5 CCD#2 Before and After (warm) Bias - November 20 (ccd.001.2.fits) Bias - November 28 (ccd.001.2.fits)
6
6 CCD#2 Before and After (cold) Bias - October 26 (ccd.109.2.fits) Bias - November 28 (ccd.027.2.fits)
7
7 New issue: regularly-spaced spikes in CCD#2 and CCD#5 (not seen in others) CCD#5 CCD#2 Spikes spaced at app. 60 lines (2x2 binning) Time-invariant (same positions for different images)
8
8 Spikes in 1x1 binning are spaced at 30 lines CCD#5 CCD#2 Spikes spaced at app. 30 lines !! Expected 120 lines (as it is 60 pixels for 2x2 binning)
