Electronics of the Target Diagnostics System for the Shiva Laser Fusion Facility.

摘要

The organizing philosophy and components of a target diagnostics data acquisition system designed and implemented at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) Shiva Laser Fusion Facility are described. Several features of the system are unique: a central trigger distribution system,fiber optic communications,and fiber optics for the timing,trigger,and control and monitoring links. The system also uses CAMAC instrumentation,transient digitizers,oscilloscopes,and LLL-designed modules and packages,as well as single-point grounding of each diagnostic installation. Distributed instrumentation packages provide instrumentation flexibility and analog-to-digital conversion as close to each diagnostic sensor as practical. (ERA citation 04:040014)
