The CUPRI ADCs are Datel 10 MHz 8-bit samplers with 3 on each
PC card. (The PC artwork was done by Denise Thorsen at the
University of Illinois.) On-board logic allows a number of sample
options, including 2-bit, 4-bit, and 8-bit outputs via a matrix
of PALs. All ADCs are clocked simultaneously by the
CUPRI Timing Unit
and the data packed into 24-bit words for DMA to the Harris
computer. ADCs to be used in a particular experiment
are selected under computer control.
Further specifications follow:
Basic Sampling Rate: 10 MHz.
Usable Sampling Rate: up to 5 MHz; determined by the
CUPRI Timing Unit.
Basic Resolution: 8 bits.
Selectable Resolutions: 2, 4 (from high, mid, or low bits of
original sample), and full 8 bits.
Input via front panel BNC (to SMA on card); usually cabled from the
CUPRI receiver outputs
