Description

The DT4810 is a compact, single-channel digital detector emulator designed to simulate realistic radiation detection signals for testing and educational purposes. It features a 14-bit, 500 MSps DAC capable of generating analog outputs with rise times down to 5 ns and exponential decay times up to 200 µs.([Caen][1])

Key features include:

  • Emulation of detector-like signals, including SiPM behavior
  • Nuclide database with over 50 real acquired spectra
  • Noise emulation, including white noise and random walk
  • Continuous reset preamplifier emulation
  • USB 2.0 and 1 Gbit Ethernet interfaces
  • Web-based GUI for control and visualization
  • Standalone operation via front panel display
  • Support for Sci-Compiler and SciSDK for custom firmware and software development
  • JupyterLab support for Python scripting

The DT4810 serves as an entry-level gateway to CAEN’s Detector Emulator range, offering improved performance and user-friendly features over its predecessor, the DT4800. Its compact design and advanced capabilities make it ideal for laboratory setups, educational environments, and system testing without the need for radioactive sources.([DirectIndustry][2])
