A Fast ADC Scanner for Multiparameter Nuclear Physics Experiments

A fast readout system for multiparameter experiments in nuclear physics is described. The central part of the CAMAC aqcuisition hardware is an ADC scanner module. The scanner incorporates a new arbitration logic and direct memory access for simultaneous transfer of singles and correlated data. Together with specially designed ADC interfaces the system can be set up for any configurations of singles and multiparameter events from 1 up to 15 ADC´s in one crate.
