As one of the three supported form factors for FAIR Beam Instrumentation µTCA was chosen. The main advantages of µTCA systems are the high bandwidth for very high data rates and the full remote control features. The standard was enhanced by DESY and other high energy physics labs to the MTCA.4 specification for Physics. This form factor could get a successor for VME.
Envisaged are DAQ systems for fast sampling ADCS eg BPM systems, scaler systems for higher sampling rates and video imaging systems.
So far BI has tested following µTCA parts:
