Description
Summary:Data acquisition (DAQ) and control software has been developed for gamma-ray process tomography system in Malaysian Nuclear Agency. The gamma-ray computed tomography (CT) system uses Computer Automated Measurement and Control (CAMAC) standard for nuclear counting and data acquisition instead of the common Nuclear Instrumentation Module (NIM) standard. For scanning configuration, the system consists of an array of NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors that moves in a small degree of angle by using a stepper motor. The gamma-ray CT software comprises of graphical user interface (GUI) for the system automation that includes CAMAC modules setup, motor and scanning control, data acquisition from CAMAC crate controller via ethernet interface and data recording. The software is developed by using National Instruments LabView development package.
