GUMP Preamplifier


The General Use Multi-channal Preamp (GUMP), provided by Infrared Labratories, Inc., is used as the preamplifier needed by the Leach controller. The Gump consists of a mainboard and four daughter boards. The GUMP has its own power supply which sits externally to the preamplifier itself and the controller (pictures of the power supply). The mainboard provides the connections to all four daughter boards,the power supply,the connections to the leach Controller and the circular connector which goes directly to the array inside the instrument. Connected to the mainboard is the GUMP end panel,which corresponds to the black end of the box shown in the GUMP pictures. This panel is where the connectors to the Leach controller and the power supply enter the GUMP. As is stated on the Leach Controller page, the information produced from the array inside the instrument first travels through the GUMP via the mainboard, then uses the daughter boards to vary the voltages and gains before the information is sent to the Leach controller. The daughter boards connect “vertically” into the four parallel connector slots shown on the mainboard. Detailed circuit diagrams for the daughter boards, as well as for the mainboard can be found in the following PDF document: GUMP.pdf
