Introduction

After selecting the Experimental (PPG) Mode by pressing a button on the Custom Status page, the experimenter will need to review the parameters relevant to the selected Experimental (PPG) Mode.

Each of the Experimental (PPG) Modes is associated with a list of Mode Parameters. This parameter list is displayed on the Custom Parameters Page, which can be accessed from the Custom Status Page by any of the following:

• clicking the RunParams button at the top of the page
• clicking the same button used to select the PPG Mode
• clicking the link PPG/PSM Parameters

If the selected mode includes RF, the #PSM Parameters will also be displayed on the Custom Parameters Page. When the run is stopped, the user may change these parameters as desired by clicking on a button or link. When the run is in progress, the parameter values are shown, but cannot be changed.

Examples of the Custom Parameter Page

PPG Mode 2e (run stopped)

Figure 1 shows the Custom Parameter Page for Experimental (PPG) Mode 2e. The run is stopped, and parameters may be entered by clicking on the appropriate link. PPG Mode 2e include RF, so the #PSM Parameters as well as the #Mode Parameters are shown. Note that in the PSM Parameters, Quadrature Modulation Mode is enabled, so that a number of extra parameters are shown. Compare with the PSM parameters for Mode 1f where Single Tone Mode is enabled.

PPG Mode 2e (run in progress)

Figure 2 shows the same page as Figure 1 except the run is now in progress. The parameter values are shown, but may not be changed. The run state window has changed from "Stopped" to "Running" and the Tune lines are not shown.

PPG Mode 2e (graphical mode)

The parameters for PPG Mode 2e can also be entered graphically as in Figure 3

Features of the Custom Parameters page

Start/stop runs

Buttons at the top of the page allow the user to start and stop runs without returning to the custom status page.

Access to other MIDAS pages

Buttons at the top of the page give access to other MIDAS pages including the custom status page.

Timing Diagram link

an alias-link provides access to the Timing Diagram for the current Experimental (PPG) Mode

Zaher's Calculator

A button near the top of the page give access to Zaher's calculator for conversion from bandwidth to pulse duration for the [[BNMR: PSM (Pol Synth

Module)|PSM]]

Debug

Checkboxes at the bottom of the screen allow various debugging to be turned on.

• PSM debug - shows the values written to the PSM profile registers. To see this, scroll the page down.
• PPG debug - shows the "true" parameter values, i.e. the run parameter values written at the last "begin-of-run"
• Show PSM Gate Params - these are usually hidden as they are set to the default values
• Global debug - debugging for the Javascript. To see this, scroll the page down.
