Real-Time Data Compression for Data Acquisition Systems Applied to the ITER Radial Neutron Camera

To achieve the aim of the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) radial neutron camera diagnostic, the data acquisition prototype must be compliant with a sustained 2-MHz peak event per each channel. The data are acquired and processed using an IPFN FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC-AD2-1600) with two digitizer channels of 12-bit resolution and a sampling rate up to 1.6 GSamples/s mounted ...
