The Ames waveform digitizer module user guide

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6834346· OSTI ID:6834346
This document describes a waveform digitizer module developed for the DELPHI experiment at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The Ames Waveform Digitizer is a single electronics board conforming to the FASTBUS standard (IEEE-960) which digitizes 32 channels of analog waveforms, removes data values below a settable threshold, and can reformat the data and perform fast analysis using an on-board microprocessor. This guide is intended to help the user install and use the modules in a data acquisition system. The technical details necessary for repair or modification will be available in a separate Technical Manual. 10 refs., 12 figs., 16 tabs.
