Chairs
We need some more green office chairs. Now that the control room tables have been changed to normal-human-height, we are short on chairs.
Wireless Headphones
The old analog wireless headphones that Matt and Steve picked out are too hissy to be used for noise hunting and the rockIFO has too much delay and glitches from network dropouts. So we want some digital wireless cans:
Pioneer SE-DIR800C (infrared = bad)
Some of the reviews of the Sony headphones say that the frequency they use (2.4GHz) interferes with other things like wireless internet and microwaves. It wouldn't be good to have to choose between the internet and headphones. ---Jenne
Frame Grabber
Here are some options for our future frame grabber:
Matrox Cronosplus PCI framegrabber with MIL-lite software
- Price unknown, but is probably the cheapest frame grabber listed as being supported in Matlab's Image Acquisition Toolbox.
- That should make it much easier for us to start using, since we presumably know how to use matlab.
- Might work on Linux.
- PCI.
Sensoray Model 22555 4-channel USB framegrabber
- Around $500
- Ease of use for us is unknown. Comes with an SDK, claims the API is "very simple". I'm guessing that means we'll have to do some coding just to get it to save a .bmp
- USB
Pixelsmart512-8
- $200
- Got a good review in 2003
- Don't forget to get the BNC option.
- Claims to come with windows software that will save a JPEG, and that there's a huge library of user-written Java modules.
- PCI

Camera Lenses
The Watec cameras we use take C type lens mounts.
Rainbow 50mm F/1.8 - for looking at ITMs and ETMs. This is the unit that is installed on both the x-arm optics. We should get at least 2 of them. ($70)
Rainbow EX TUBE - a tube extension kit for focusing the lenses to close objects. When I changed the ITMX camera I needed the 5mm adapter. We should get a few of these kits if we don't have any already. ($50)
LCD monitor(s)
It would be nice to have something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009125 on my desk

It is very useful to record multiple channel data for a long time with high sampling rate. It can store 1G words of data. So even with 10MHz sampling, 100sec of data can be recorded. It is handy to look for high frequency phenomenon happening occasionally. I also like the user interface of this guy.
