Abstract :
High voltage power modules find uses in many applications like the Photo multiplier Tubes (PMT), Ionization chambers, CRT systems testing, high voltage biasing for Avalanche Photodiodes, Photo detectors, X-ray tubes, Pulse generators which are used in radars, lasers, EMC testing and other imaging applications. Providing high voltage, to these applications, which can be remotely controlled in a small, confined area, is a problem many laboratories around the world face. The LV and the HV series of high voltage systems present experimenters with voltages ranging from several hundreds upto +/- 5kV in a rugged CompactPCI / PXI chassis, running National Instruments´ LabView. The CompactPCI architecture offers modularity, tight integration and low cost. Apart from that, the deterministic and real time nature of the operating system (LabView) also allows these modules to be remotely controlled and monitored over the Ethernet. The high voltage cards can be easily custom tailored to a particular voltage and current requirement [1].
