2018-04-06 2.1 Specification The specification for the pulse detection firmware is presented in Table 2. For the general specification of the ADQ14 digitizer, please refer to the ADQ14 data sheet [2]. Table 2: Specification for ADQ14-FWPD. Item Unit General Pulse width... - Page 6 Document ID Print date 18-2074 2018-04-06 Figure 1: A block diagram presenting the main features of the ADQ14-FWPD data path. • Digital baseline stabilizer The digital baseline stabilizer (DBS) provides a highly accurate and stable baseline, specifically intended for pulse applications. Additional information on the DBS is provided in Section 4.1.
- Page 7 The output engine offers flexible control over the flow of data. There are five different data collection modes ranging from only pulse metadata to raw pulse data with padding. The output engine is described in detail in Section 4.12. ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com Page 6 of 28...

Page 10: Pulse Specification
The trigger arm level is computed by subtracting the trigger arm hysteresis from the trigger level. In order for the rising edge to generate a trigger event, the system has to be armed. For a positive ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com... -
Page 11: Edge Windows
These windows extend the region of interest outward from the pulse. Note The leading edge window and trailing edge window are two fixed-length regions that surround the pulse and allow the user to extend the region of interest.

Page 13: Baseline Tracking
Each trigger source has an associated edge specification to select if the rising and/or falling edges should generate trigger events. This global edge specification is used by the timestamp reset engine and may be set by calling SetTriggerEdge(). ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com Page 12 of 28... -
Page 14: Trigger Blocking
Once the trigger blocking engine is armed, this mode allows triggers to propagate until an event on the trigger blocking source has been observed. Following an event, the blocking is engaged ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com Page 13 of 28... -
Page 15: Synchronization Signals
The coincidence feature allows the user to further refine the definition of a region of interest. It offers a mechanism to constrain the conditions of acquiring a pulse by querying the other channels for recent events. ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com Page 14 of 28... -
Page 16: Detection Window
A detection window defines a period in time in which pulses are accepted and forwarded to the pulse characterization engine. The detection window has a fixed length and an associated trigger event which ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com Page 15 of 28... -
Page 17: Data Multiplexer
These metrics form a pulse metadata packet described in Section 4.12.2. Pulses are characterized during the detection window, as illustrated in Fig. where pulses starting before the window trigger or ending after the window ends are ignored.

Page 18: Pulse Width
The number of histogram bins are listed in Table 4. The histogram bins are represented by a 20-bit unsigned number and will saturate at the maximum value (1 048 575). The data is mapped to a bin ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com... -
Page 19: Overflow
The histogram can process 33 million pulses / second on average. The ReadHistogramStatus() API call can be used to detect an overflow. Table 4: The number of bins for the different histogram types.

Page 20: Padding
If two pulses have overlapping trailing and leading edge windows, they will be concatenated into one single record. This is illustrated in Fig. 6. The variable length mode can only be used with the level trigger. ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com Page 19 of 28... -
Page 21: Data Collection Modes
The every Nth record mode behaves in the same way as the raw pulse data mode with the exception that only every Nth record is transferred to the host. The reduction factor N is specified in the API call PDSetupCharacterization(). ADQ14-FWPD – User Guide www.teledyne-spdevices.com Page 20 of 28... -
