New CAEN VME Masters and Optical Link Interfaces

Multiport interface capabilities: USB-2.0/3.0, Ethernet, Optical Link for all possible experimental setups

CAEN Bridges are controllers with enhanced data rate and extended interfacing capabilities that make them flexible and suitable for all the possible experimental setup.
The new CAEN controllers are available in VME or Desktop form factors with USB C (2.0 or 3.0) and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for better compatibility with host devices, also in a small form factor (A4818) simplifying the use in mobile environments.
All CAEN Bridges feature also an Optical Interface with a transfer rate up to 80 MB/s. The optical link communication protocols used are the CONET1 or the newer CONET2. Through the CONET2 it is possible to handle the VMEbus through the CAEN VMEbus Optical Link Bridges or to control directly CAEN modules with built-in optical link.
