Fasti - A flexible design

Fasti is designed to be flexible and extendable:

• Fasti is divided in several functional modules with clear boundaries: a module can be replaced with an upgraded part without changing the whole system.
• Each module can be substituted by a module of similar external connections but with different configuration or capabilities.
• Each module, as far as possible, can be doubled to get higher or extended capabilities.
• Many functions are performed in software (in the embedded computer) or in software like ambient (in the SVB).
• The flexible waveform generator (SVB) can generate up to four completely different waveforms, so is capable not only to control different detectors, but also different modes on the same device.
