\begin{abstract}
A system documentation of Hall C superharps is briefly summarized.  It
could serve as system check list, maintenance \& survey  reference, and
upgrade  consideration for users, maintenance team, and new owners 
during the transition period of ownership change. 

For information on normal operation of the Superharp system, see

\section{Offset Adjustment Before Fiducialization}

\begin{enumerate}
\item  To make the full range of encode readout match harp motion range,
        (16 bit covers 3 inches) an additional procedure of encoder offset
        adjustment should be done before fiducialization.
      
\item  Connect encoder with encoder interface black box by flat cable. 

\item  Move the harp manually to upper position limit switch (full retracted), 
       Loose the screw of coupler at motor side, then manually rotate shaft 
       until the display is less than 0600 (decimal data = 1280). Then tight
         the screw and record the readout data.

\item  Move the harp manually to down limit switch position. The readout should
  be less than E900 (decimal = 59648). 
Conversion coefficients from binary readout (Hexadecimal) to decimal data: 
 
       Hexadecimal encoder display                      Decimal data
       
       X1         X2          X3          X4                                         4096  X1  + 256  X2 + 16  X3 +   X4

        The resultant value of Xi in the binary data of the latches are: 0[0], 1[1],
        2[2], 3[3], 4[4], 5[5], 6[6], 7[7], 8[8], 9[9], A[10], B[11], C[12], D[13], E[14],
        F[15].
   
\end{enumerate}






\section{Upgrade Requirement from Experiments}
   
\begin{enumerate}
%Priority \#1
\item Normalize software of all Hall C superharps in 16 bit in order
                         to convert survey data 
 -  Solution: take a 16 bit channel as reference, normalize others


\item Sensor wire  
-  G0 team wants to measure 40 A beam profile directly.
         -  Solution:  G0 superharps need carbon wire (Icritical ~ 49 A at 1cm/s)


\item Preamplifier 
-  Defect rate ~ one per year because of radiation degrade of 
            electrometer chip AD 549 (high noise, large offset)
-  Solution:  Move preamp box down to the floor and place shielding
                     surround box. More effective decoupling from motor.


\item Trigger generation
-  Synchronized with line, helicity or in stand-alone model
         -  300 Hz trigger frequency came from Lebedev’s request for fast 
            emittance measurement. Users want to return to 60 Hz if this is not
            necessary now.
         -  Solution:  Hall C sync generator (manual) /AES VME module (EPICS)?

  
\item Halo measurement
-  Needs see 5 – 6 decade dynamic range counts
         -  Solution:  Reduce scan velocity


\item Ultra-low beam current profile measurement
-  Polarized target experiments need good profile in front of target at 50 ~
  100 nA  rastered beam (d = 2 cm). 
         -  Solution: Use radiation pickup channels, reduce scan velocity by 10.
         -  Problem: PGA and LeCroy HV are out of EPICS control.


\item  Unify coordinate of profile display 
-  MCC profile package gives a quick display of profile but the position
   coordinate is different to absolute encode readout and the fitting code 
           doesn’t work well for irregular beam shape
        -  Solution:  Modification of original code
\end{enumerate}
