astreets45 Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Would the MCC 118 be able to (maybe with some tweaking), obtain/record data from a PMT or from a photodiode?
0 Jeffrey Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 What is the make and model number of your PMT or photodiode?
0 Fausto Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Hello @astreets45. Would you kindly provide more information (or datasheet) about your PMT and photodiode. Regards, Fausto

0 Fausto Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 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

Would it be difficult/expensive to include this conditioner?
0 Fausto Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 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.
