CAEN provides a complete and ever increasing set of instrumentation, from Preamplifiers to Data Acquisition to Triggering Electronics and Logic Functions. Most of the instrumentation is available in the most popular standard form factors and bus protocols, such as VME, NIM, CAMAC and Desktop.The Desktop is the stand alone form factor of the CAEN products. It provides the same performances of the other form factors and take the advantage of an easier and portable use, requiring no crates.
- Programmable FPGA to implement complex logic functions- VHDL coding expertise not required- User-friendly software tools for board programming- Pre-programmed set of standard functions (N1081B/DT1081B)- Different I/Os connectors and standards available (NIM, TTL, ECL, LVDS)
CAEN has developed a complete family of digitizers that consists of several models differing in sampling frequency, resolution, form factor (VME, NIM, Desktop, Rack) and other features.In recent years CAEN opened the doors of its R&D to the Open FPGA technology, which is becoming more and more widely used and required. In addition, we decided to invest many resources in order to make this technology accessible to everyone. These efforts result in innovative Programmable Digitizer families and the SCI-Compiler software for easy-programming of the Open FPGA simplifying firmware writing with a block-based visual programming language.
The VX1394 board features a radiation hard 4.8 Gbps SERDES ASIC, which, in connection to a rad-hard optical transceiver implements a newer generation optical links for many detector readout systems. The ASIC performs data transmission, trigger distribution and clock forwarding towards the front-end electronics in the crate.
