Position Sensing Devices (PSDs)

PSD for Suspended Injection Bench (SIB)

in 2005, four Position Sensing Devices have been added on the SIB. The sensor selected for this purpose were the DL-20 (Duo-Lateral Super Linear PSD), made by UDT Sensors Inc.

The processing electronics was made "the old way" (i.e., wire wrapped on a perfboard). Every sensor has its own processing board and all of them were powered with a Bench Power Supply.

In 2008 the four separate boards have all been put in a single chassis, together with the AC to DC Power Supply.
