1. Determination of Chopper Offset

• for detailed test description see PTD_2.3.1 (->file attachment:chopper.pdf) or in CVS

• Chopper has to be switched-off and controller disabled

• upload Chopper CPRs with position offset of zero using tcl-script CONF_Chopper_OBS.tcl with parameters fileU and calUcol

• start PacketRecorder

• start diag. HK with SPEC_Chopper_dhk_imt_OBS using Generic_CUS_script.tcl

• determine chopper offset (chop_offset) from DM_CHOP_CUR_POS
• include the new chopper offset in chopper control parameter set

  • -> PosOffset=(-1)*chop_offset

• stop diag. HK with SPEC_Chopper_dhk_stop_OBS using Generic_CUS_script.tcl

• close PacketRecorder

• switch-on chopper
• load up chopper control parameters including the new offset

  • -> tcl-script CONF_chopper_OBS.tcl with parameters fileU and calUcol
