Description
We will finish off the seminar with a hardware talk. The WaveDAQ system currently under development at PSI, Switzerland, combines the DRS4 waveform digitizer running at 5 GSPS with preamplifiers, ADCs and high voltage biasing suited for SiPMs. A new crate standard has been developed which features dual star gigabit links, ultra low jitter clock and trigger distribution and integrated crate management at a fraction of the costs of standard crate systems. The presentation will present the design principles of the crate and cards and show first test results.
