Real-Time Data-Acquisition Platform for Pulsed Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an inexpensive and simple data acquisition platform based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) designed to acquire and characterize fast digital or analog electrical signals in real time for processing on a generic personal computer. While the instrument was designed for electrical outputs of single-photon detectors and is suited for high photon-counting rates, it can also be used for characterization of similar digital electrical signals from other sources and for analog signals as well. The complete description of the platform is available for download at http://physics.nist.gov/fpga.

Real-time phase-selective data acquisition system for measurement of wave phenomena in pulsed plasma discharges
A novel data acquisition system and methodology have been developed for the study of wave phenomena in pulsed plasma discharges. The method effectively reduces experimental uncertainty due to shot-to-shot fluctuations in high repetition rate experiments. Real-time analysis of each wave form allows classification of discharges by wave amplitude, phase, or other features. Measurements can then be...

The ability to experimentally perturb biological systems has traditionally been limited to static pre-programmed or operator-controlled protocols. In contrast, real-time control allows dynamic probing of biological systems with perturbations that are computed on-the-fly during experimentation. Real-time control applications for biological research are available; however, these systems are costl...
