RORC v.3.2
Read-out Receiver Card
 |
RORCv3 is a DDL Read-Out Receiver Card designed for use in the data acquisition (DAQ) system of the ALICE experiment. (A. k. a. D-RORC). However, it has standard interfaces and can be used in other data acquisition systems as well. It recieves data from two DDL SIU cards through duplex optical cables, and writes it (with DMA) to the computer memory via the PCI Express bus. |
