  • Abstract
    This paper describes a fully programmable, VME based, eight channel, arbitrary waveform generator, specially adequate for the control of operation of high temporal resolution diagnostics of nuclear physics experiments. Each channel is built around an 1 Mega-sample-per-second, 12 bit, digital-to-analog converter and it is provided with 8 kWords of FIFO memory allowing operation in a free running mode. The main operational features of this module are described. Methods for assessing its performance are discussed and the test results are presented. Application of this multiple waveform generator on the operation of two diagnostics of the tokamak ISTTOK is referred.
