A Flexible Data Acquisition Board for Nuclear Detectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
For two-dimensional scintillation detectors based on position-sensitive photomultipliers, a new PCI or cPCI unit has been developed. It aims at fast signal and data processing by the usage of advanced technologies like digital signal processors and field-programmable gate arrays. The main features of this design are described in this paper. Digital test measurements were carried out showing that the chosen design complies with the requirements of nuclear pulse processing for such applications.

A Fpga Based High Speed Data Acquisition Card
A FPGA based, high speed, two channel, analog input card with a maximum input sampling rate of 1 Giga samples per second (Gsps) per channel has been designed and tested. The card has got an on-board cPCI interface but has been designed in a way that it can also work as a stand-alone system. The card can function as a platform for developing and evaluating different FPGA based hardware designs. ...
متن کاملNegative Selection Based Data Classification with Flexible Boundaries
One of the most important artificial immune algorithms is negative selection algorithm, which is an anomaly detection and pattern recognition technique; however, recent research has shown the successful application of this algorithm in data classification. Most of the negative selection methods consider deterministic boundaries to distinguish between self and non-self-spaces. In this paper, two...
متن کاملA Spartan 6 FPGA-based data acquisition system for dedicated imagers in nuclear medicine
We present the development of a four-channel low-cost hardware system for data acquisition, with application in dedicated nuclear medicine imagers. A 12 bit octal channel high-speed analogue to digital converter, with up to 65 Msps sampling rate, was used for the digitization of analogue signals. The digitized data are fed into a field programmable gate array (FPGA), which contains an interface...

متن کاملDigital System to Characterize Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors
A digital system to characterize solid state nuclear track detectors(SSNTD) has been developed. It was used in the study of two detectors and its performance evaluated by comparing the obtained results with those determined by using an analog system, already in use for such purpose. The comparison of the results together with the feasibility and rapidness in data acquisition have demonstrated t...
