Software
Q. Where can I find the last Firmware/Software version for my CAEN ELS device?
A. You can download the last firmware/software version for your device on our download area or in the respective tabs of the product sheet.
Q. What is the IEEE 1451.4™ (TEDS) Manufacturer ID for CAEN ELS smart tranducers ?
A. The CAEN ELS Manufacturer ID is 15034 (decimal number) and it can be found on the public listing of the official IEEE website.
Q. Are LabVIEW drivers available for my CAEN ELS device?
A. Only some specific CAEN ELS devices have their own LabVIEW GUI or driver packages that can be directly downloaded from the specific product web page (“Software/Firmware” tab).
Hardware
Q. What are the main differences between the AH401D and the AH501D picoammeter?
A. The AH401D is a charge-integration picoammeter while the AH501D is a special transimpedance amplifier (which directly converts the input current to be measured into a proportional voltage). The AH501D is capable of measuring both positive and negative input currents (bipolar) while the AH401D only positive ones. The charge integration stage is usually used when there are short pulses to be measured (for example, FEL bunches) and there is the need to measure all the charge that is present in the single bunch.
In addition to this, the AH501D has an integrated low-noise voltage source that allows biasing a detector (e.g. diamond detector).
Commercial
Q. How do I request a quote for a CAEN ELS device?
A. Quotations can be directly requested at sales@caenels.com.
