Experiment Data System (EDS)
The EDS consists of eight Event Analyzers (EA), of which six are dedicated
to the PCA and two to the
ASM.
Each EA contains an Intel 80286 processor and associated memory. The
EAs can be programmed independently to process incoming events from the
instruments in any of the following modes:
- Transparent mode, using 1, 2, or 3 EAs
- Event mode, using 1 or 2 EAs
- Binned mode (time and/or energy)
- Burst catcher mode
- Fourier transform mode
- Pulsar fold mode
- Autocorrelation mode
- Arrival time differences histogram mode
It was built by the CSR at MIT. The principal investigator was
Dr. Hale V. D. Bradt.
