This paper presents low-cost, configurable PCI Express (PCIe) direct memory access (DMA) interface for implementation on Intel Cyclone V FPGAs. The DMA engine was designed to support DAQ tasks including continuous pretriggering acquisition transient analysis and multichannel transmission. Proposed solution is based SoPC resources. Performance of the has been evaluated Terasic OVSK board (PCIe G...

In the experiments involving the use of in-flight radioactive beams the selectivity and the detection of the rare products are very demanding. Using faster processing and data acquisition (DAQ) is also important and can be crucial for the realization of those experiments that otherwise may require a non realistic beam time. In particular, here we concern with experiments which can be performed ...

The Time-of-Flight system is a proposed addition to the STAR detector currently installed at RHIC. The proposal is based on a new technology called the Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC), and consists of approximately 23,000 channels of detectors distributed over 120 trays. Each TOF tray consists of 192 detector channels and three different types of electronic circuit cards, called “TFEE”...

The Magnet Test Facility at Fermilab tests a variety of full-scale and model superconducting magnets for both R&D and production. As the design characteristics and test requirements of these magnets vary widely, the magnet test stand must accommodate a wide range of Data Acquisition (DAQ) and Control requirements. Such a system must provide several functions, which includes: quench detection, q...

A fast data acquisition (DAQ) system for axion dark matter searches utilizing a microwave resonant cavity, also known as haloscope searches, has been developed with two-channel digitizer that can sample 16-bit amplitudes at rates up to 180 MSamples/s. First, we realized practical DAQ efficiency of greater than 99% single channel, where the process includes online Fourier transforms (FFTs). Usin...

The Data Acquisition Backbone Core (DABC) is a software framework to run DAQ with distributed event building on high performance Linux clusters [1]. There are several use cases, especially in test beam times where the setup during data taking is intentionally changed very often, and the interpretation of the acquired detector data depends on the experimental set-up. Usually, the set-up is manag...
