Abstract :
The DASiPM2 project is funded by INFN and is aimed at the development of a demonstrator of a PET system based on SiPM photo-detectors. In this framework an FPGA based DAQ system has been designed and developed at INFN-Pisa to read and characterize 4x4 SiPM matrices. The system architecture, the first test and characterization results and the planned future development activities are here described.
