## ^^
_ Happy to get the board and play with it._

## TL;DR

* Setup of if 5V on stabilized. Power use within the 2.5W so far.
* Pulser behavior to dig
* Some echoes appear

# Technical points

## Power uses

### Setup

To play it safe, we had the voltage control, P1, at 2.3 kOhm, so to get at ~50/60V output, to avoid being above the 100V limit from the pulser.

### Sources
If used on a standard alim as we had, voltages get too low:

* 3.75V instead of 5V
* 2.88V instead of 3.3V

The buffer led gives light, that's because the ref voltage is too low.

### Power
Once the 5V on a stabilized source, we read that it consumes ~135mA without a pulse, or 143mA with a 500ns, 50V pulse every 300us.

## Pulser: the HV7360

### Setup
HV7360 is fed by HVOUT - and HV7360 is controled by

- US_Pulse_P on InA
- US_Pulse_N on InB

Discussing with Sofian, I had connected USPN on GND, USPP on a 3.1V, 250ns pulse, at 300us macroperiod. That should take care of the pulse for the transducer.

### Discussion and issues
Observations

- Connecting USP-N on GND does not control the pulse width.
- Connecting USP-N and USP-P on a 2V-pulse seems to control (at least make thinner) the pulse.
- With the transducer on / off, it seems there is still a voltage baseline (500mV)

### USPN on ground. Blue is the trigger, Yellow is the pulse. 3.1V. 50/60V easily, but does not decrease with time.

- With a 7.5us wide pulse, we see two echoes separated by 7.5us, hence the double echoes for switching on and off the transducer.

#### Transducer for a reflection

### Pulser: the HV7360

- Same setup as [Session 1](/worklog/Session_1.md) and [Session 2](/worklog/Session_2.md).

- The issue is that the two pulses were not controlled.. so we'll need to find something to synchronise these two, with a 150ns delay..

### Discussion and issues

#### Discussion

- High pulses: from a small pulse, echoes are amplified to a 1.54V , on an average of ~0V.

![TEK_14](/worklog/Images/Session_3/TEK0014.JPG)

- Need to get a better pulser!

#### Issues

- Tests were done without having put the DAC inputs to GND. That may lead to some issues in reproductibility.
- Need to document the role of Jumper 1 more precisely.
- Let's try to get images from only 2/3, trigging from an external source?

- We don't need external alim apart from the 5V/3.3V thingie, and no signal generation. We're making progress!
