Abstract

A general purpose FPGA based DAQ module has been developed. This module has been built around a Virtex-4 FPGA and it is able to acquire up to 1024 different channels distributed over 10 slave cards. The module has an optical interface a RS-232 a USB and a Gigabit Interface. The KLOE-2 experiment is going to use it to take data from the Inner tracker and the QCALT. An embedded processor (power pc 604) is present on the FPGA and a telnet server has been developed and installed. A new general purpose data taking system has been based on this new module to acquire the Inner Tracker. The system is at the moment working at LNF (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati).
