Collector Box

Black collector box on Gammasphere, circled in white; yellow-encased power supply above collector box.

As a part of Gammasphere's new DAQ system, a Collector Box has been added. The Collector Box collects and maps all analog signals for up to 30 detectors, coming from the pickoff card in the SBX to the collector, and being output to the digitizers. Control and monitoring of Gammasphere's modules are maintained with the help of the collector box, using EPICS IOC. It receives power via a singular 48V input from the power supply (above the circled collector box in the image to the right).
