FASTBUS recording System for measurement of time intervals and analog signals for the Sphere spectrometer

A FASTBUS recording system used to measure time intervals and fast analog signal at the SPHERE spectrometer is described. The system is based on a 16-channel 8-bit ADC FASTBUS module, a 16-channel 16-bit TDC FASTBUS module and a FIORI interface module connected to CAMAC registers realized data transfer between a FASTBUS segment and a CAMAC dataway. The operation of the system is controlled by an Electronika-60 microcomputer connected to a CAMAC crate controller. The software used in the system provides communication between the FASTBUS segment and the computer, module testing, data acquisition and processing, and result presentation
