Description
Summary:A fast parallel readout system based on a PCI board has been developed in the framework of the Medipix collaboration.11http://medipix.web.cern ch/MEDIPIX/ The readout electronics consists of two boards: the motherboard directly interfacing the Medipix2 chip, and the PCI board with digital I/O ports 32 bits wide. The device driver and readout software have been developed at low level in Assembler to allow fast data transfer and image reconstruction. The parallel readout permits a transfer rate up to 64Mbytes/s.
