| Abstract | The modern market offers low cost high performance FPGA integrated circuits equipped with dozens of multi gigabit serial links making them ideal devices for data transmission and data sorting applications. Therefore we have designed the new DAQ system that would perform the detector readout and event building in a custom made FPGA based hardware. The software part will provide the control and monitoring function. Currently, the prototypes of the new FPGA card are being tested and the control and monitoring software is being prepared for the tests with the real hardware. |
