1. Introduction
The Canberra Model 9641 High Voltage Power Supply is a single-width NIM family
member of the ICB line of programmable front end electronics and has been
designed primarily for use with photomultiplier and electron multiplier tubes. By
design, the 9641 will accommodate any detector requiring a bias voltage up to 2000
V and a current level of 1 mA or less.
The 9641 allows the user to select from two outputs, one ranging from ±15 to ±2000
V dc and the other derived from the first but attenuated by a factor of 10 giving ±1.5
to ±200 V dc. A 20 segment bar graph displays the output voltage. In addition, this
unit allows the user to select the output voltage polarity with an internal control.
The 9641 can withstand any overload or short circuit for an indefinite period of time.
The unit can be programmed to either resume normal operations after removal of the
fault or to require a programmed reset command.
An INHIBIT input is available for remote shutdown of the 9641. The unit can be
programmed to either resume operation upon removal of the INHIBIT signal or to
require a programmed reset command.
The 9641 accepts programming information over an 8-bit wide Canberra bus
standard called the Instrument Control Bus (ICB). ICB NIMs connect to this bus via
a host module such as the Model 556 Acquisition Interface Module (AIM) as part of
a hierarchy of networked acquisition and control managed by a Genie family
computing platform.
Adjustments are made via the Graphical User Interface of the Genie software
environments. Equivalent batch procedure commands are also available in the
environments. All ICB NIM parameters are stored in the single data file structure of
the Genie family, allowing verification of correct setup from one experiment to the
next.
All ICB NIMs feature a characteristic bi-color READY LED to indicate operational
status.
