Description
Low degree l=0-2 solar p-modes were detected with the SLOT instruments at Izana and Baja California. The main source of noise for these ground based observations is in the terrestrial atmosphere. However, the data acquisition system still has to have very low intrinsic noise. It is shown how this is achieved in the SLOT instruments. Design and operating principles of the photometers and data acquisition system are outlined.
