The Slope Box Extension (SBX) unit contains a power board and '''[[The Pickoff Card|"pickoff card"]]''' along with an optional '''Raspberry Pi''' computer. As a whole, the SBX is there to handle much of the signals and processing between the detectors and the greater [[DAQ system|data acquisition system]]. The power board of the SBX provides all necessary power to the detector from a single source (48VDC), and allows a single detector and its SBX to be run entirely from one PoE (power over ethernet) port, enabling a detector to operate by itself. Meanwhile, the pickoff card converts signals from the detector to go to the digitizer. Understanding the SBX on a hardware level can be understood by observing the functions of the [[The Pickoff Card|pickoff card]]. | The Slope Box Extension (SBX) unit contains a power board and '''[[The Pickoff Card|"pickoff card"]]''' along with an optional '''Raspberry Pi''' computer.
