Page 6: General Safety Precautions
To avoid electric shock, fire hazard, or damage to the product, do not apply a voltage to any input outside of its specified range. Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Electrostatic discharges may result in damage to the SIB164B. For these reasons, the SIB164B board is intended to be operated in a user’s conductive instrument enclosure. Do Not Operate in Wet or Damp Conditions To avoid electric shock or damage to the product, do not operate in wet or damp conditions. -
Page 7: Product Overview
PMT’s cathode is supplied directly from the PhotoniQ on a high voltage cable to a dedicated connector on the SIB164B. For applications utilizing the last dynode output of the PMT, the SIB164B includes a two stage high speed preamplifier whose output is available on an SMB connector. -

Page 11: Typical Setup
SIB164B and PhotoniQ include a high voltage cable that provides up to 1000 volts of negative bias to the H12428 cathode, and a trigger cable that supplies the trigger to the PhotoniQ from one of the SIB164B’s two discriminators. In an alternative configuration when precision timing or coincidence detection is required, an external discriminator with coincidence logic can be placed between the SIB164B preamplifier output and the PhotoniQ trigger input. -
Page 12: Photomultiplier Tube Anode Circuits
Photomultiplier Tube Anode Circuits The 64 anode signals (P1 – P64) from the PMT are routed directly on the SIB164B to two specialized connectors referred to as sensor interface board (SIB) connectors. Anodes P1 to P32 route to SIB connector J1 and anodes P33 to P64 route to SIB connector J2. -

Page 14: Leading Edge Discriminator
Referring to Figure 6, negative going pulses from the preamplifier are compared to the discriminator threshold that is set through the SIB164B dialog box in the PhotoniQ GUI. A logic high (for positive polarity control) is generated on the trigger output (SMB connector J5) after a small delay (t from when the pulse first crosses the threshold, V . -
