1H module, a XBB module, a 2H module, a cover module (hereafter referred as Cover2) and a baseplate (HPPR/2 BASEPLATE AV4 4CH or 8CH). The basic configuration may be updated later to a maximum of nine modules (including cover).
For each probe connected to the HPPR/2 COVER2 MODULE the PICS entries of that probe are read out by the firmware of the HPPR/2. The values for continuous but also peak power are extracted from the $PChan group for each nucleus. Afterwards, the threshold values for the power limit detection are set for each nucleus (if power limit detection is available) according to the probe power values.
The setting of the threshold values can be monitored on the HPPR/2 COVER2 module display (see following figures). If no power limit detection capability is implemented for a certain HPPR/2 module, a ‘--‘ is shown on the corresponding display line instead of the threshold power value.
Check the $HpprFunc group of the module BIS. The version of the group must be at least 2.3 and the sixth entry must be set to 1. The $HpprFunc group is valid for all HPPR/2 modules and not only for the AQS integrated preamplifiers.
The supervision can be disabled via the Hosted Devices | Cover2 Overview | Module Settings | Overload Detect website. This can be done for any module having the power limit detection feature. HPPR/2 Wiring Figure 5.4: Module Connection H172204_1_001 27 / 92...
