Multi-purpose γ-Ray Interface to Auxiliary Detectors (MyRIAD) User Manual
- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
The MyRIAD (Multipurpose γ-Ray Interface to Auxiliary Detectors) module provides a general-purpose interface to allow other detector systems that work in concert with the digital data acquisition (DAQ) sytems of Digital Gammasphere (DGS) and GRETINA to receive the timestamp and triggering information from those systems to synchronize the data acquisition system of an auxiliary detector used in concert with these large detector arrays. Additionally the MyRIAD may be used to transmit time-stamped trigger messages from the auxiliary detector to the main system so that the main system may filter its event readout based upon the presence or absence of a local trigger in the auxiliary detector. Finally, the MyRIAD provides signal interface capabilities designed to allow legacy CAMAC-based detector DAQ systems to be directly controlled and interfaced by the DAQ system of DGS or GRETINA.
