The main goal of this project is to develop a read-out device for spectroscopy allowing both coincidence and noncoincidence measurement. It is designated to communicate with analog-to-digital converters (type of Canberra, models 8701, 8715). Up to 3 connected converters are supported.

The device will exploit USB 1.1 (2.0 compatible) bus and integrated circuit FT245BL produced by FTDI (Future Technology Devices International Ltd.) to communicate with a personal computer.
Data will be processed in a programable device CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) by Xilinx. The advantages are to use hardware language (VHDL) to describe a configuration and possibility to change the configuration in-circuit.

Control software will be build up on a previous versions and new features will be append.
