Overview

The Mod. V1761 is the CAEN Waveform Digitizer with the highest sampling rate Flash ADC (10 bit @ 4GS/s).

It can record fast signals from fast organic, inorganic and liquid scintillators coupled to PMTs or Silicon Photomultipliers, Diamond detectors and others, and save them with high efficiency and precision for offline advanced timing analysis. The acquisition can be externally vetoed/gated. Multiple boards can be synchronized to build up complex systems.

The data stream is written in a circular memory buffer with independent read/write access, which reduces the dead-time of the acquisition process.

The acquisition is fully controlled by CAEN WaveDump software, which manages the settings, plots and saves the waveforms. Libraries and demo software in C and LabView are available for integration and customization of specific acquisition systems.

The V1761 comes in a VME form factor with 2 input channels. The communication to and from the board is provided through VMEBus and Optical Link interfaces.

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:

  1. the CAEN Software will operate properly;
  2. the CAEN Software will meet the End User’s system/technical requirements;
  3. the operation of the CAEN Software will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances;

The terms set forth herein will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws.

  1. 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.

Should a rotational backup of a system’s entire data set, including the CAEN Software programmers, be essential for a fast reactivation of the system following a complete breakdown, the End User may create backup copies in the required quantities. The pertinent system disks shall be marked accordingly. These backup copies may be used for archive purposes in connection with data backup only.

The End User will not modify the user guides, operating manuals and release notes made available by CAEN, if any. Such documentation may:

  1. only be used to support the End User’s use of the CAEN Software;
  2. not be republished or redistributed to any unauthorized third party;
  3. 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.

  1. 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:

  1. the CAEN Software will operate properly;
  2. the CAEN Software will meet the End User’s system/technical requirements;
  3. the operation of the CAEN Software will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances;
  4. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  5. 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.

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..

  1. 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.

  1. 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:

  1. cease any use of the CAEN Software;
  2. 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;
  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
