A Compact Time Digitizer in Camac Format*
نویسنده
چکیده
A compact time digitizer containing 128 words of 16 bits each on a single width CAMAC module is described. Eight data channels are provided with a capacity of 16 words each. The unit has been used with a 50-MHz clock to encode data from magnetostrictive spark chambers and--with modifications--for the accumulation of data from multiwire proportional chambers. * Work supported by the Energy Research and Development Administration and the National Science Foundation.

New Developments in the Magnetostrictive Readout System at Slac*
The present paper describes the work done at SLAC for the magnetostrictive wire spark chambers of SPEAR, LASS and the two-meter streamer chamber. All three are CAMAC systems based on the use of a time digitizer module with different interfacing techniques into three different computers (Sigma 5, PDP-9, PDP-11). Of particular interest is a display controller module that permits wide selection of...
متن کاملDigital Pulse Processing Techniques for High Resolution Amplitude Measurement of Radiation Detector
The digital pulse processing techniques for high resolution amplitude measurement of radiation detector pulse is an effective replacement of expensive and bulky analog processing as the digital domain offers higher channel density and at the same time it is cheaper. We have demonstrated a prototype digital setup with highspeed sampling ADC with sampling frequency of 80-125 MHz followed by serie...

Alcator C-Mod is incorporating CompactPCI based data acquisition cards into the MDSplus data acquisition system. Each crate includes a diskless computer running the mdsip server from MDSplus under the linux operating system, and one or more digitizer cards with onboard memory. A minimal set of software is downloaded to this computer at boot time allowing it to arm and read out the cards when re...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Modular Waveform Digitizers
A digitizer is an electronic acquisition device that acquires analog waveforms, processes them through analog-to-digital converters (ADC’s) and sends the digitized sample to a buffer, which allows them to be saved before being processed by a computer. Historically, modern digitizers date from the 1950’s and 60’s when the need to rapidly acquire, store, and process multiple channels of data beca...
متن کاملImplementation of a real - time Fast Fourier Transform on a Graphics Processing Unit with data streamed from a high - performance digitizer
In this thesis we evaluate the prospects of performing real-time digital signal processing on a graphics processing unit (GPU) when linked together with a high-performance digitizer. A graphics card is acquired and an implementation developed that address issues such as transportation of data and capability of coping with the throughput of the data stream. Furthermore, it consists of an algorit...
