B2_PD2 demodulated at 1MHz and 2MHz - second part

Today, the setup of the B2_PD2 demodulation at 1MHz and 2MHz has been completed  (first part)

Below the performed actions

  • the SIB2_dbox_bench configuration has been updated
    • to remove the B2 PD2 demodulation at 1xF4MHz and 2xF56MHz
    • to add  the B2 PD2 demodulation at 1xF1MHz and 1xF2MHz
    • operations done at 2025-03-18-07h48m03-UTC . As consequence all the B2 PD2 demodulated signals have been reconfigured
    • the 100MHz phase jumps from -2.904 rad t0 -2,908 rad . So it seems that none phase adjustment is required for B2_PD2
  • the SIB2_Photodiodes configuration has been updated
    • to remove the B2 PD2 last demodulation stage for the 1xF4MHz and  2xF56MHz
    • to add the B2 PD2 last demodulation stage for the 1xF1MHz and  1xF2MHz
    • operations performed at 2025-03-18-07h53m57-UTC
  • As the B2 PD2 8MHz signals are sent  to the SSFS mezzanine. to recover the correct synchronisation the SSFS mezzannine has been reconfigured too
    • operation performed at 2025-03-18-08h20m49-UTC

After these operations, the RFC has been successfully  locked .  Its remains to check if the ITF re-locks and if the B2_PD1_1MHz and B2_PD2_2MHz signals are correctly built

To demodulate the B2_PD2 at 1MHz or 2MHz , this is done using an ACL_SINELINE_CH  Acl object.

Unfortunately there is an issue in the ACL_SINELINE_CH frequency definition for the B2_PD2 at 1MHz in the file /virgoData/VirgoOnline/DAQ_requested_modulation_frequencies.cfg  line 65 : this has been fixed

The SIB2_Photodiodes_External configuration has bee updated  too with the correct frequency definition of the FPGA_F1MHz_line object . 

A simple reloadExternal at the SIB2_Photodiode server level should be enough to have the B2_PD2_1MHz channels correctly built. The B2_PD2_2MHz channels seems correctly built

The reload of the SIB2_Photodiodes_External.cfg file has been done at  2025-03-18-20h41m08-UTC thanks to Andrea.

The attached plot ant its zoom show the B2_PD2 1MHz and 2MHz channels when the ITF is locked at CARM_NULL_1F: there is some lines

  • B2_PD2_1MHz:  lines at 2050Hz, 2849Hz and  3570Hz
  • B2_PD2_2MHz:  lines at  44.75Hz, 48.8Hz, 54.6Hz, 56.6Hz and 4108Hz

The huge line close to 3570Hz is most probably the aliasing of the 2xF6MHz due to the average at 500KHz in the SIB2_B2 photodiode's demodulation configuration.

Adding a filter at the ACL_ADC_CH readout level should allow to reduce the amplitude of this line.

Today a notch filter has been added for the B2_PD2 1MHz signal at the ACL readout level as well for the  B2_PD2_2MHz :  the B2_PD2_1MHz signal remains noisy

Operation performed at 2025-03-20-16h38m58-UTC
