3512 ADC

 
The LeCroy 3512 is a high-speed, high resolution, ultra-linear ADC for gamma and X-Ray spectroscopy applications. It offers 250 t0 8000 channel conversion gains with a conversion time of 5 uSec. See the manual for more details.
 

Data Record

The 3512 can have optional timing information included in the record. You can tell by checking for the time-stamp included bit in the second word.


xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^-----------------------data id

                 ^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^-length in longs


xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

       ^--------------------------------1 = double word timestamp included

        ^ ^^^---------------------------crate

if timestamp included the next two words follow, otherwise the data follows

xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^-reference date (high part of double)


xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^-reference date (low part of double)


...followed by data words. len - (2 if NO timestamp) or (4 if timestamp included)

The card can be turned off so no data will be produced.
