Dear Nuclear / Particle Scientist,

CAEN currently proposes 13 NIM/VME powered crates in 35 versions!

Soon to be available, the CAEN VME 8004 is a powered mini crate ideal for small lab test setups and experiments.

Highlights
  • - 19" x 2U enclosure
  • - 4 slot for 6U x 160mm VME modules
  • - 250W Power Supply
  • - Short circuit protection
  • - VME64 J1/J2 monolithic backplane
  • - Horizontal Ventilation (side to side)
  • - Powered by 100÷230 VAC, 50÷60 Hz

The SY2527 system is the small scale experiment version of the latest CAEN Universal Multichannel Power Supply System. This system outlines a completely new approach to power generation and distribution by allowing to house, in the same mainframe, a wide range of boards with different functions such as High/Low Voltage boards, generic I/O boards (temperature, pressure monitors, etc.) and branch controllers, where the latter are used to control other remote generators and distributors.

Modularity, flexibility and reliability are the key-points of its design, enabling it to meet the requirements of a wide range of experimental conditions, which range from those of LHC experiments, where the system's features find prior application, to those of other less challenging, but still demanding, High Energy Physics experiments. The SY2527 mainframe is housed in a 19"-wide, 4U-high euro-mechanics rack and hosts three main sections.

Highlights
  • - Houses up to 6 boards, HV/LV or branch controllers
    - Ad-hoc boards and peripheral systems
    - Communications via H.S. CAENET, CERN-approved fieldbuses and TCP/IP
    - OPC Server for easy integration in DCS
    - Programmable handling of parameters and errors
    - Fast, accurate setting and monitoring of channel parameters
    - Sophisticated channel trip handling
    - Multilevel management of user profiles
    - Live insertion of boards
    - Advanced Trip handling
    - Hardware current protection
    - Secure access to the system via Intranet
    - Remote debugging and technical support
    - Easy firmware upgrading

In the large family of CAEN Waveform Digitizers, a new 32+2 Channel 12bit 5 GS/s Digitizer based on the DRS4 Paul Scherrer Institute chip design is soon to become available.

The V1742 is a VME module housing with threshold Auto-Trigger capabilities. The single ended analog input signal has a dynamic range of 1 Vpp.

The 2 additional channels can be used to digitize an external time reference signal (for example a trigger or the clock) for applications where precise timing is requested.

The DC offset of the input signal can be adjusted channel per channel by a programmable 16bit DAC.

The modules features a front panel Clock-In and a PLL for clock synthesis from internal/external references.

The trigger signal can be provided via the front panel input as well as via the VMEbus, but it can also be generated internally.

An Analog Output allows to reproduce the sum of the input signals as well as the majority or the buffer occupancy. The Modules VME interface is VME64X compliant and the data readout can be performed in Single Data Transfer (D32), 32/64 bit Block Transfer (BLT, MBLT, 2eVME, 2eSST) and 32/64 bit Chained Block Transfer (CBLT).

The boards houses a daisy chainable Optical Link able to transfer data at 80 MB/s, thus it is possible to connect up to eight ADC boards (64 ADC channels) to a single Optical Link Controller (Mod. A2818). Optical Link and VME access are internally arbitrated.
