Hi All,
There has been some discussions that ML has changed the pulse widths on their different PI models and it would be nice to know if that is true.
Now, basic measurements of the pulse on time and pulse timing can be observed without ever getting into the detector. By using a simple coil of wire, a loading resistor across that coil and a scope, one can observe the pulse signals.
I have attached a pic of what the SD 2100 signal looks like when observed using a simple technique of making a coil, adding a resistor across the coil leads and observing this new coil signal with a scope with the new coil a finite distance from the operating coil of a detector.
I ran this test at the request of a well known engineer. The coil I used was a 6 1/2 in diameter with 20 turns and a 1 k loading resistor. None of these measurements are critical, so a person can use about whatever they want.
In the case of the pic I uploaded, one can get an idea of the pulse on time of the long and short pulses as well as the general timing.
I would appreciate anyone having one of the other ML PI models running the same test and posting the results. This way, we can see if there is any distinct difference in at least one of the operating areas.
Thanks in advance,
Reg
