ED - Schaa, Volker RW TI - Diagnostic Data Acquisition Strategies at FRIB J2 - Proc. of IBIC2016, Barcelona, Spain, Sept. 13-18, 2016 C1 - Barcelona, Spain T2 - International Beam Instrumentation Conference T3 - 5 LA - english AB - Strategies for data acquisition and processing will be discussed in the context of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Design decisions include selecting and designing electronics hardware, data acquisition cards, firmware design, and how to integrate with EPICS control system. With over 300 diagnostic devices and 16 unique types of devices, timing for synchronous data acquisition is important. Strategies to accelerate development as well as reduce maintenance requirements will be dis-cussed, including using common hardware and firmware whenever possible, and defining a common data report-ing structure for use by most devices. MicroTCA.4 plat-form is used to integrate data acquisition cards, distribute timing information, and machine protection signals.
