SIS 3350
There are four trigger modes. The fields not used in a particular mode will be disabled.
An offset DAC per channel in combination with a variable gain amplifier (VGA) gives
oscilloscope like input stage behavior in combination with superior resolution.
The module was can be operated in any 6U standard VME enclosure/crate, i.e. no non standard voltages going beyond +5, -12V and +12 V are required.
In ORCA it can be placed into either a standard VME crate or the VME64 crate.
The card is too complex to provide full details here. See the manual for more specific information.
There are six different read-out modes. Select the desired mode here. The fields not used in a particular mode will be disabled.
