0 Fausto Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Hello @astreets45. Would you kindly provide more information (or datasheet) about your PMT and photodiode. Regards, Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PMT is an RCA Photomultiplier Tube 931B The photodiode is most likely going to be the Advanced Photonix 100-12-22-021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Fausto Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Thank you for the model #'s. The MCC 118 supports an input signal of +/-10V.https://www.mccdaq.com/PDFs/specs/DS-MCC-118.pdf The photomultiplier tube and photodiode output a current signal, so an external signal conditioning circuit ("tweaking" as you called it) would be required prior to any connections to the MCC 118. It would be up to the end-user to design in a signal conditioner.https://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/pdf-hell/hell-zetfax-931A.pdf https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/Photonic Detetectors Inc PDFs/SD100-12-22-021.pdf My colleague found the following document, which may be a helpful reference; see page 28, section 3.1.3.https://www.hamamatsu.com/content/dam/hamamatsu-photonics/sites/documents/99_SALES_LIBRARY/etd/PMT_handbook_v3aE.pdf Regards, Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be difficult/expensive to include this conditioner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fausto Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The input signal to the MCC 118 should be +/-10 VDC. We do not design signal conditioners, so we do not know the costs nor effort required to add a signal conditioner to your application. Search online for off-the-shelf signal conditioning units if you'd rather not design your own custom unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
