Products Overview
Vertilon’s line of data acquisition products seamlessly interface to a variety of multi-element, charge-based sensors such as PMTs, photodiodes, avalanche photodiode arrays (APDs) & silicon photomultipliers (SPMs). In a typical application the user-supplied sensor is plugged into a Vertilon sensor interface board (SIB) mounted to the user's optical bench. The outputs from the SIB connect using a SIB cable to a Vertilon PhotoniQ multi-channel data acquisition system. Charge data from optical events is captured and processed by the PhotoniQ which outputs the resulting event data over a USB 2.0 interface to a PC. Triggering modes include continuous and edge-triggered event capture as well as more sophisticated modes such as event driven and pre-triggering. Two user-selectable data acquisition modes are optimized for data collection of random events as in particle analysis applications, and continuous events as in scanned imaging applications. User-defined discrimination functions can be employed to reduce the data set to contain only the events of interest. The standard graphical user interface and USB drivers supplied with the PhotoniQ are used to view events in real time or log them to disk. Alternatively, the GUI can be bypassed entirely such that the event data can be fed directly to a user's custom application.

PhotoniQ Multi-Channel Data Acquisition Systems
The PhotoniQ product line of multi-channel data acquisition systems consists of standard or high speed versions in either 32 or 64 channel configurations. Included graphical user interface software and USB drivers allow the unit to connect to a PC for real time collection and analysis of optical event data. PhotoniQ systems can be optionally configured with additional buffer memory to store high speed images, and up to two high voltage supplies that can be used to directly bias a PMT, APD, or SPM.
