LASL-ORNL fast digital data acquisition system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5359783

A data acquisition system for recording multi-parameter digital data into a large memory array at 1 MHz is described. The system consists of a MOSTEK MK8600 2048K x 24-bit memory system, I/0 ports to various external devices including the CAMAC dataway, a memory incrementer and a daisy-chain of experiment-specific modules which calculate the memory address which is to be incremented. The design of the daisy-chain permits multiple modules and provides for easy modification as experimental needs change. Several specific examples are described.
