OSTI ID:5641200
The data acquisition system being built for PBFA II incorporates several new advanced technology features. The system will have 80 new waveform recorders with a 1.35 GHz sampling rate, 250 MHz bandwidth and 10,000 sample record length. A fast analog multiplexer will be used to enable recording multiple signals on each recorder. The accelerator performance monitor system will use time interval digitizers with a time window of +- 8 msec. This long window and the pretrigger feature will provide data for a thorough analysis of accelerator prefires. The calibration system will automatically route precision dc levels, sine waves and fast-rise pulses to the waveform recorders. The waveform recording system is being characterized using special multi-channel, high-level simultaneous pulse generators. The system computer has a 32-bit CPU, 350 Mbytes of disc storage and a virtual memory operating system. All software is being written in Fortran 77.
