====== Voltage controll ======

We have two power supply units, both controlled by a LabVIEW script via the server. We use a Low Voltage Power Supply Unit (LVPSU), the HMP 2030 by Rohde & Schwarz. The LVPSU powers the LTA with 12 V and 1-2 A and supplies the base power for the CCD. For a High Voltage Power Supply Unit (HVPSU), we use the Keithley 2470 SourceMeter. It is used to deplete the CCD of any free charge, using around 50-70 V. It has very high precision, capable of measuring currents down to femtoamperes. This precision is needed to test for defects in CCDs.

===== Kethley 2470 =====
It features two triaxial connectors:
one for the high voltage (HV) and one for the return ground, which is floating. As a result, there are six conductors for a two-wire connection. The center conductor of each cable carries the HV and return signals, respectively. The outer conductor of each cable is connected to the chassis ground, which is linked to the outer shell of the metal box protecting the instrument. In addition, an intermediate conductor in each cable applies a potential that shields the central conductor from fluctuations in the external ground. This design allows for a resolution of up to 10 fA [59]. Its characteristics can be found in Table:
