====== Data Acquisition for the Ionisation Profile Monitor at SIS18 ======
{{tag>IPM DAQ SIS18 RGM Janztec}}

Two GigE cameras shall be read out on a max. of 200fps rate. Camera triggers need to be created by a timing receiver card. Camera data and operation is handled by a FESA class on a IPC, here the Janztec Sy-IPC-10000. I/O for LEDs etc will be handled by a separate I/O PCI card. Additional data derived from SIS 18 trafo, RF and magnet ramps are converted to frequencies and counted in a latching scaler.
