Figures 1 and 2 above serve to show the user how the active collimator station is connected to the actcol-station PC. I have labeled various components in Figure 1; their descriptions are below. Figure 2 shows the user how to connect everything to the PC.
1: The signals from the tungsten plates within the active collimator are picked up and transmitted to the amplifiers via an SMA to BNC cable.
2: The BNC end of the cable connects to the amplifiers.
3: On the "downstream" end of the amplifiers, there is a BNC to BNC cable that transmits the amplified signals to the BNC box (5).
4: A power splitter. From right to left: power source from power supply, four power
