Multichannel measurement unit
Peripheral devices for NMOS multichannel detector head

To facilitate multichannel measurement and data analysis, Hamamatsu provides a complete line of NMOS multichannel detector head and peripheral devices including a data processing unit and interface board for connection to a PC.

Data processing unit C6536

C6536 is a data processing unit designed specifically for Hamamatsu image sensor driver circuits and multichannel detector heads. C6536 is capable of high-speed signal readout and data processing with high resolution so that the fullest performance and characteristics can be obtained from various types of image sensors. Even in high-speed measurements at low light levels, C6536 delivers satisfactory performance. The unit is compact yet has shielding effects against external noise. C6536 is also designed for easy operation and data control.
C6536 consists of a buffer amplifier, 12-bit A/D converter, memory, controller and pulse generator. The A/D converted data is temporarily stored in the buffer memory and then transferred in parallel to an external PC by handshaking the internal controller with the PC.

Features
● High resolution: 12 bits
● High-speed data conversion: 1 MHz Max.
● Lower power consumption
● Built-in buffer memory
● Compact size

Interface board M7089

M7089 is an interface board specifically designed for connection to the ISA bus in an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, in order to input or output the control signals and data signals between the PC and C6536 data processing unit. By handshaking the PC with the internal controller of the data processing unit, 12-bit (or 16-bit) data signals can be transferred in parallel between them.
The I/O address can be set from 0000H to 0FFFH (factory preset: 0300H) in 4 byte steps by using the DIP switch on the board.

Features
● Works with various IBM-PC compatible computer (ISA bus)
