Task Outcome Summary


Abstract

Both 160 µm stimulators were exercised, and the A stim was also run at 2 lower DAC settings. Signals were seen from both stims, and at all DAC settings. The response at the nominal DAC setting, 0x40, was about 2 times higher than expected, giving an array-averaged brightness of about 35000 DN/s instead of 18000 - 20000 DN/s. This may in fact be an underestimate of the brightness, because many pixels were so saturated that mips_sloper was unable to fit slopes to them. The test included taking 3 sets of data on the 70 µ'm array using the Flood A stim, and one set with Flood B. As was seen in Campaign G (mips-247), the 70 µm stim brightness was 10000 DN/s, about as intended.

Analysis

The array-average signal (DN/s) was computed for all 128 DCEs collected and plotted vs. DCE number, and compared with expected signal levels. The signal from four individual pixels was similarly plotted.

Results

The data were taken in 32-DCE groups. The stim used, DAC setting, and array-average stim brightness are tabulated below. Results from the 70 µm aray are also given.
DCEs 160 µm Stim DAC <signal> (DN/s) 70 µm Stim DAC <signal> (DN/s)
1 - 32Flood A0x40~35000 Flood A0x33~10500
33 - 64Flood B0x3C~35000 Flood B0x33~10500
65 - 96Flood A0x33~10000 Flood A0x33~10500
97 - 128Flood A0x30~7000 Flood A0x33~10500
The 160 µm stim signal at 0x33 was ~12000 DN/s in Campaign G (see mips-247), but only about 10000 DN/s in campaign H. This does not appear to be a problem with the IER, but that should be double checked.

Figure 1 shows the array averaged signal (DN/s) and the signal from 4 pixels on the 160 µm array from the entire experiment. The data were analyzed with mips_sloper with the electronic linearity correction turned off. In addition, CR rejection was set to 8 sigma (from 5), and auto-reject reads was set to 2, in order to get slopes for more pixels.

Figure 1.Signal (DN/s) on the 160 µm array during the stim aliveness test. The changes in stim brightness are due to the use of different stims and/or different DAC settings for the stims, as summarized in the table above. As can be seen in the lower 4 panels, for individual pixels, mips_sloper was unable to fit the ramps during many of the stim DCEs due to strong saturattion.

Figure 2 shows the same thing, but for the 70 µm array.

Conclusions

The 70 and 160 µm stimulators are all operational post-launch. The nominal DAC setting for the 160 µm Flood A stim, 0x40, is too high for current value of the array bias (see mips-992 analysis in H - 160um Vresets are close to optimized, but overall bias could be reduced). The brightness of the 70 µm stims is close to what was predicted before launch, and the nominal setting appears to be about right (we were aiming for about 8000 DN/s, and got about 10000 DN/s).

Output and Deliverable Products

None.

Actions Following Analysis

Consider changing the 160 µm Flood A DAC setting from 0x40 to 0x33 (or so). analyzing the mips-248 data in Campaign H. This action has the lein that the array biases have not been optimized. Once optimization has been performed we may find that the current stim settings are good.
