New Instrumentation for JLAB Awake Animal Project
• Smaller Pixel Size requires higher granularity in PMT (2.4 – 1.2 mm)
• Higher granularity requires more anodes• More anodes require more resistive network
and/or more acquisition channels• Need optimal readout electronics and data

Readout Data Acquisition System
• PCI Based System– Two 16 channel Datel PCI416 cards in the current two
detector / 16 channel per detector system
– Two 32 Channel Datel PCI417 needed for next 64 channel detector (type 2)
– One 32 Channel Datel PCI417 needed for next 32 channel detector (type 1)
• VME Based System– Capable of modules of 64 channels
• USB Based System– Capable of modules of 128 channels
