Abstract:
Event-driven data acquisition is used to capture information from fast transient phenomena typically requiring a high sampling speed. This is an important requirement in the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility for the development of one of the heating systems of the ITER nuclear fusion experiment. The Red Pitaya board has been chosen for this project because of its versatility and low cost. Versatility is provided by the hosted Zynq System on Chip (SoC), which allows full configuration of the module architecture and the OpenSource architecture of Red Pitaya. Price is an important factor, because the boards are installed in a hostile environment where devices can be damaged by EMI and radiation. A flexible solution for event-driven data acquisition has been developed in the Zynq SoC and interfaced to the Linux-based embedded ARM processor. It has been successfully adopted in a variety of data acquisition applications in the test facility.
