Digital configurable instrument for emulation of signals from radiation detectors
Abubakar Salihu Abba, Francesco Caponio, A. Geraci · Review of Scientific Instruments · 2014
The paper presents a digital instrument characterized by a specially designed architecture that is able to emulate in real time signals from a generic radiation detection system. The instrument is not a pulse generator of recorded shapes but a synthesizer of random pulses compliant to programmable statistics for height and starting time of events. Completely programmable procedures for emulation of noise, disturbances, and reference level variation are implemented.
