Question on Lithium Power Detection

  • Remousamavi     10th February Member 0 Permalink

    Has anyone figured out a way to detect the power level in LITH?

     

    As I understand it, it's stored in the ctype - as a number, so there's no way to detect it with existing detectors.

    It also affects the color of PHOT, which I've also been able to prove to myself (blue at uncharged, red at close-to-combustion). But then, how does one detect PHOT color? (IE, set an electric signal to output if the color is more redshifted than, say, orange-ish)

    you can use filt logic, bounce phot off lith, if ctype is that of the filt, it goes brrr, phot goes through, you detect phot, and now you know

     Wow,I've just realized it!Anyway,you need to cool the phot so it won't melt the lith.

     Do you have an example of this? And/or can you clarify what "goes brrr" means in this context? So far as I can tell, FILT does not selectively block PHOT (I may of course just be missing something), and detecting FILT's ctype has the same problem as PHOT's (If I could detect a number stored in ctype, I could just read it directly off the LITH)

     Cooling is taken care of (It's a matter of setting the temp of the CRAY after setting its ctype to PHOT). I already have test rigs set up, from which I was able to see what colors differently-charged LITH turns PHOT to.
