WAVECATCHER

The WaveCatcher software and the Waveform Recording firmware for 743 family is a complete oscilloscope-like tool made by CNRS/IN2P3/LAL, which is able to control a single board belonging to the CAEN 743 Digitizer series. By a multi-instance simple procedure, also synchronized multiple V1743/VX1743 boards can be managed.A graphical user friendly interface is available to take benefit of all the functions of the hardware: selectable sampling frequency, different trigger modes, waveforms and charge data acquisition, channel pulses, etc.The system also features different tools for on-line measurements and histograms plotting: graphical cursors, noise level, raw hit rates, charge amplitude and time measurements, time distance histograms between channels (fixed threshold and digital CFD methods), charge histograms, FFT, etc.All acquired data and computed measurements can be saved to files for further off-line analysis.
