Abstract :
For the readout of the calorimeter of the WASA-at-COSY experiment a QDC board using flash ADCs and FPGAs to perform the pulse integration was developed. In the initial version only a simple pulse finding algorithm was implemented in order to avoid delay cables by storing the digitized signals in a pipeline of a few microseconds.
