Data Impact System Description
78418701 2024 065 13:00 1 06.01 Changes made to signal cable routing on the start and the stop lines. The system delay has changed due to that.
78418701 2022 277 14:00 2 09 Former GPS receiver HP-58503A was replaced by Meinberg M1000.
78418701 2021 363 16:00 1 6 Changes made to signal cable routing from detectors to event timer for the start diode as well as the primary (SPAD) and secondary (PMT) chain. The system delay has changed due to that on both lines.
78418701 2020 352 12:00 2 8.01 Target Distance Update due to filter stack change. The stack is inserted during calibration to adjust the signal rate. The Calibration Target Distance was changed from 6926 to 6952 ps to account for changes of the used glasses.
