Abstract
We have developed and tested a 4 channel, 500 MHz, 512 k sample, 8 bit wave form digitizer in a FASTCAMAC module. A novel feature is the implementation of a sparse scan during readout with a programmable differential trigger t o reduce the data to a manageable level. The differential trigger allows re liable detection of pulses with low threshold in the presence of a variable baseline, (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
