摘要
A readout system suitable for a large number of synchronized photo detection units has been designed. Each unit embeds a specifically designed fully integrated communicating system based on Xilinx FPGA SoC technology. It runs the VxWorks real-time OS and a custom data acquisition software designed within the Ice middleware framework, resulting in a highly flexible, controllable and scalable distributed application. Clock distribution and delay calibration over customized fixed latency gigabit Ethernet links enable synchronous time stamping of events with nanosecond precision. The implementation of this readout system on several data-collecting units as well as ifs performances are described. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.
