There are a number of very easy steps required to get the system ready. Please read the Alibava GUI manual first to have the data acquisition software properly installed and ready. Then, the daughter board should be connected to the motherboard, provide power to the later and connect it to the USB port of the computer.
Figure 1 shows the main ALIBAVA system connections.
These are the steps that must be followed in order to initialize the system:
At this point the system has been initialized correctly and it is ready for preparing the required connections for the laser or the radioactive source runs.
The detector(s) of the daughter board must be powered on by means of an independent power supply. The daughter board has a Lemo power connector (with a defined position for connecting the power plug of the cable) dedicated for this supply.
Calibrations and pedestals acquisitions can be carried out at this point once the detector(s) have been powered on.
