A detector emulator in the FPGA: validating a DAQ chain with no source in the room

Testing a spectroscopy chain properly requires a detector, a source, a licence to hold the source, a room to hold it in, and hours of acquisition to get the statistics.

Deterministic timing sequences for calibration and ASIC slow control

Most detector systems need a set of digital signals to happen in a precise order, over and over. Configure an ASIC by clocking a shift register with the right chip-select framing.

Noise you can specify: choosing the right disturbance for a test

“Add some noise and see if it still works” is one of the most common things said about a signal-processing design, and one of the least precise.

Playing the part of hardware you do not have yet

Firmware development almost never starts with all the hardware on the desk. The ADC daughterboard is six weeks out. The ASIC is in fabrication.
