Overview

FERS-5200 is a Front-End Readout System designed for large detector arrays, such as SiPMs, multi-anode PMTs, Silicon Strip detectors, Wire Chambers, GEM, Gas Tubes and others.

FERS is a distributed and easy-scalable platform, where each unit is a small card that houses 32 or 64 channels with Front End electronics, A/D converters, trigger logic, synchronization, local memory and readout interface.

FERS is a flexible platform: keeping the same readout and control infrastructure, that is the same user interface, different types of front-end can be developed to fit a variety of detectors. In most cases, the front-end is based on ASIC chips that allow for high density, cost-effective integration of multi-channel readout electronics into small size and low power modules. The Front End ASIC can implement an analog chain made of preamplifier, shaper, peak sensing and discriminator. In other cases, the ASIC is a fast flash ADC (1 GS/s or more) that records the waveform of the input pulses and makes it possible to apply digital algorithms providing timing, energy and pulse shape information.

One FERS unit can be used stand alone, without any additional hardware, just connected to the computer via USB 2.0 or Ethernet 10/100T. This is a cheap and an easy-to-use evaluation board of the specific ASIC chip housed on the FERS unit. Once the solution is validated, scaling up to thousands channels is immediate: multiple FERS units can be connected in a tree network, where the optical TDlink is the unique physical connection that guarantees high throughput data readout, slow control and accurate timing synchronization.

One DT5215 (FERS Data Concentrator) can manage up to 8 TDlinks, each connected to 16 FERS units in daisy chain: in the case of the A5202/A5203 FERS unit, it makes 8192 readout channels. The Data Concentrator is connected to the Host computer through 1 Gb Ethernet (10 GbE Coming Soon) or USB 3.0. Multiple concentrator boards can be synchronized in order to further extend the total number of channels (Coming Soon).

A Linux-based Single Board Computer is embedded in the Concentrator board. It manages the data readout from the network of FERS units and the event data building according to the time stamp and/or trigger ID of the event fragments acquired by each unit. Sorted and merged data packets are then stored to the local memory and finally sent to the host computers through a fast 1 Gb Ethernet (10 GbE Coming Soon) or USB 3.0 link. Custom algorithms for data processing and reduction can be easily uploaded by the user into the embedded CPU.

One computer, one Concentrator, thousands of channels

FERS-5200 is an extendable system: the same FERS unit can be used either as stand-alone or as part of the network tree for the readout of large arrays of detectors. In this way, the same card and same interface will be used, starting from the prototyping phase till the final implementation of the experiment.

The core of the scalability of the FERS-5200 is the optical TDlink, which manages data stream, slow control and synchronization at once.

The concentrator board DT5215 hosts 8 optical links, each one sustaining up to 16 FERS units in daisy chain. In the case of A5202 for SiPM readout, this means 8192 channels managed by a single Concentrator board.

Further scalability is possible synchronizing more than one Concentrator board.

Such documentation may: only be used to support the End User’s use of the CAEN Software; not be republished or redistributed to any unauthorized third party; not be distributed or used to conduct training for which the End User, or any other party, receives a fee. The End User shall take the necessary steps to prohibit unauthorized access to the CAEN Software and its documentation by third parties. The original data media, as well as all backup copies, shall be stored in a secure place, safe from access by unauthorized third parties. Disclaimer of Warranties by CAEN To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the CAEN Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind. CAEN, its licensors, and its and their affiliates disclaim all warranties, conditions, and representations (express, implied, oral, and written) with respect to the CAEN Software including without limitation all express, implied, and statutory warranties and conditions of any kind, such as title, non-interference with your enjoyment, authority, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness or suitability for any purpose (whether or not CAEN knows or has reason to know of any such purpose), system integration, accuracy or completeness, results, reasonable care, workmanlike effort, lack of negligence, and lack of viruses, whether alleged to arise under law, by reason of custom or usage in the trade, or by course of dealing. CAEN does not warrant that the CAEN Software will operate uninterrupted or be error free or that defects are correctable or will be corrected. Any service obtained using the CAEN Software is done at the End User’s own discretion and risk, and the End User will be solely responsible for any damage to his/her computer system or loss of data that results from the download and/or use of any such material or service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CAEN, its licensors, and its and their affiliates make no warranty that: the CAEN Software will operate properly; the CAEN Software will meet the End User’s system/technical requirements; the operation of the CAEN Software will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances; any defects in the CAEN Software can or will be corrected by CAEN. The terms set forth herein will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws. Limitation of Liability To the extent not prohibited by the applicable laws, in no event shall CAEN be liable for personal injury or any incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to the End User’s use of or inability to use the CAEN Software, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise) and even if CAEN has been advised of the possibility of such damages. As mentioned in article 6 above, CAEN Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind, therefore the End User acknowledges that the use of the CAEN Software shall be at its own risk and the End User waves any right to compensation for any kind of damage or loss directly or indirectly consequential to the use of the CAEN Software. In no event shall CAEN’s total liability to the End User for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the total amount of the fees paid for the CAEN Software license. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations of liability shall apply only to the full extent permitted by the applicable law. Indemnification The End User is solely responsible for compliance with agreements the End User has executed with third parties. The End User agrees to indemnify and hold CAEN harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party in connection with or arising out of the End User’s use of the CAEN Software, the End User’s violation of any terms or conditions of the CAEN Software license and/or violation of applicable laws, or the violation of any rights of another person or entity.

Term and Termination The license granted to the End User is perpetual with reference to the version of the CAEN Software originally provided to the End User. Notwithstanding with the above, the Parties acknowledge that: the End User may terminate the CAEN Software license by discontinuing use of all or any of the CAEN Software and by destroying all copies of the applicable CAEN Software; the license terminates automatically if the End User violates any terms of the EULA, if CAEN sends a written notice of termination to the End User and in all the other cases set forth in the Terms & Conditions. After a termination, the End User shall immediately: cease any use of the CAEN Software; fully delete all CAEN Software, in particular the original files, any backup copies and any pertinent CAEN Software files installed on the End User’s devices; delete/destroy/return any documentation related to the CAEN Software. CAEN has the right to demand a sworn statement from the End User regarding the fulfillment of its obligations under the present paragraph.

Any service obtained using the CAEN Software is done at the End User’s own discretion and risk, and the End User will be solely responsible for any damage to his/her computer system or loss of data that results from the download and/or use of any such material or service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CAEN, its licensors, and its and their affiliates make no warranty that: the CAEN Software will operate properly; the CAEN Software will meet the End User’s system/technical requirements; the operation of the CAEN Software will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances; any defects in the CAEN Software can or will be corrected by CAEN. The terms set forth herein will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws. Limitation of Liability To the extent not prohibited by the applicable laws, in no event shall CAEN be liable for personal injury or any incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to the End User’s use of or inability to use the CAEN Software, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise) and even if CAEN has been advised of the possibility of such damages. As mentioned in article 6 above, CAEN Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind, therefore the End User acknowledges that the use of the CAEN Software shall be at its own risk and the End User waves any right to compensation for any kind of damage or loss directly or indirectly consequential to the use of the CAEN Software. In no event shall CAEN’s total liability to the End User for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the total amount of the fees paid for the CAEN Software license. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations of liability shall apply only to the full extent permitted by the applicable law. Indemnification The End User is solely responsible for compliance with agreements the End User has executed with third parties. The End User agrees to indemnify and hold CAEN harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party in connection with or arising out of the End User’s use of the CAEN Software, the End User’s violation of any terms or conditions of the CAEN Software license and/or violation of applicable laws, or the violation of any rights of another person or entity. CAEN Software Updates CAEN undertakes to provide all the services and technical maintenance services, together with all the relevant additional services, if any, as indicated in the applicable CAEN and/or CAEN terms and conditions (“Terms & Conditions”). Consent to the Use of Data If applicable due to the software provided to the End User, the End User acknowledges and agrees that CAEN may remotely extract and collect, at any time and without any obligation to notice the End User, technical and performance data concerning the CAEN Software’s usage by the End User and its performance, and all the necessary related information. Such technical and performance data will be collected, stored and used by CAEN and/or CAEN’s technical partners only for the purpose of monitoring and improving the performance of the CAEN Software, to prevent and/or fix technical failures and/or bugs as well as to facilitate the performance of any technical support activity. In addition to the above, CAEN and/or its technical partners might collect personal data of the End User for the sole purposes of the management of the license and the performance of technical additional services. The personal data collected by CAEN and/or its technical partners might consist in the following: End User’s name and last name; End User’s e-mail; End User’s “MyCAEN” chosen username; the identifier number of the device from which the End User is accessing and downloading the CAEN Software (the “Machine ID”); the IP address of the End User’s internet connection. CAEN and/or its technical partners shall process the personal data collected in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, as specified in CAEN’s and/or its technical partners’ privacy notices provided to the End User during the registration process and/or immediately after such process. Audit Rights and Non-compliance During the term of this EULA, the End User will maintain electronic and other records sufficient for CAEN to confirm that the End User has complied with the terms and conditions of this EULA. CAEN may audit, and/or have third party to audit, the End User’s records and computer systems (including servers, databases, and all other applicable software and hardware) to ensure that the End User has fully complied with this EULA. The End User shall cooperate with CAEN’s audit team and promptly and accurately respond to database queries, location information, system reports, and other reports requested by CAEN. If the End User is not in compliance with the CAEN Software licenses, the End User shall fully compensate CAEN for all the loss and damages caused directly and/or indirectly by the relevant non- compliance, as liquidated by the competent court of law.. Export Control This EULA involves software, products and/or technical data that may be controlled under laws and regulations that might forbid and/or regulate the export of such software, products and/or technical data (“Export Laws“). The End User shall comply with all Export Laws to assure that the CAEN Software is not exported, directly or indirectly, in contravention of the applicable Export Laws. Term and Termination The license granted to the End User is perpetual with reference to the version of the CAEN Software originally provided to the End User. Notwithstanding with the above, the Parties acknowledge that: the End User may terminate the CAEN Software license by discontinuing use of all or any of the CAEN Software and by destroying all copies of the applicable CAEN Software; the license terminates automatically if the End User violates any terms of the EULA, if CAEN sends a written notice of termination to the End User and in all the other cases set forth in the Terms & Conditions. After a termination, the End User shall immediately: cease any use of the CAEN Software; fully delete all CAEN Software, in particular the original files, any backup copies and any pertinent CAEN Software files installed on the End User’s devices; delete/destroy/return any documentation related to the CAEN Software. CAEN has the right to demand a sworn statement from the End User regarding the fulfillment of its obligations under the present paragraph. Unilateral amendments to the EULA CAEN has the right, at any time, when necessary, to unilaterally amend and modify the EULA without the obligation to priorly inform the End User of such changes. Applicable Law This CAEN Software License and the relationship between the End User and the Licensor is governed by the laws of Italy and shall be interpreted accordingly. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this EULA shall be referred to and finally resolved by the Court of Florence, Italy. The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the CAEN Software License. Precedence This EULA constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding the use of the CAEN Software. In the event of any conflict between the EULA and the Terms & Conditions of the CAEN Software, the Terms & Conditions will prevail.
