The CAEN Mod.N6781 is a a 1-unit wide standard NIM module integrating 4 Independent 16k Digital MCA for digital nuclear Spectroscopy. A version with 2 independent 16k MCA is also available (N6781A). It is ideally suited for high energy resolution semiconductor detectors, like HPGe and Silicon, connected to a Charge Sensitive Preamplifier (CSP) but it can also properly work directly connected to a PMT with inorganic scintillators (Nal, Csl) and other types of crystal, provided that the pulse shape is exponential and the decay time is long enough (typ. > 200 ns).
The module houses 4x (or 2x) 100 MS/s 14-bit waveform digitizer (based on 724 series) on single-ended inputs with BNC connectors, featuring 4-step software configurable input range and adjustable DC offset via a 16-bit DAC on each input in the full range.
The N6781 is equipped with a FPGA featuring the real-time Digital Pulse Processing for Pulse Height Analysis (DPP-PHA firmware) making the module a spectroscopy acquisition system providing energy (i.e. pulse height) and timing information as well as portions of the waveform and other traces for the fine tuning of the PHA settings.
Thanks to its two independent inputs of simultaneous acquisition, the N6781 is able to manage coincidences and anticoincidences between a pair of detectors, allowing the user, for example, to easily take advantage of background rejection or anti-Compton techniques.
The module has been designed to operate as a scalable multi-input, multi-board acquisition system, offering synchronization capabilities.
The N6781 houses USB 2.0 and Optical Link interfaces. USB 2.0 allows data transfers up to 30 MB/s. The Optical Link supports transfer rate of 80 MB/s and offers Daisy-chain capability. Therefore, it is possible to connect up to 8/32 MCA modules to a single Optical Link Controller (Mod. A5818/A4818).
Operating modes:
“Pulse Height Analysis (PHA)”: pulse height histogram (1k-2k-4k-8k-16k) built at software level.
“List mode”: pulse height and time stamp for each event.
“Oscilloscope” mode: input and internal filters waveforms.
Software available (Windows and Linux):
CAEN provides drivers for all the different types of physical communication channels, a set of C and LabView libraries (CAENComm, CAENDigitizer, CAENDPP), demo applications and utilities:
CAENUpgrader: tool that allows the user to update the firmware of the digitizers, change the PLL settings, load, when requested, the license for the pay firmware and other utilities.

Admitted reproduction of the CAEN Software
The End User may reproduce the CAEN Software only if such reproduction is strictly necessary for the use of the CAEN Software.
Necessary reproductions include the installation of the CAEN Software from the original system disk or from the downloaded installation archive on the mass memory of the hardware, as well as the loading of the CAEN Software into the main memory during CAEN Software operation.
Moreover, the End User may reproduce the CAEN Software for backup purposes. However, only one backup copy of the original system disk or the downloaded installation archive may be created and/or stored. Said copy must be marked as a backup.
Should a rotational backup of a system’s entire data set, including the CAEN Software programmers, be essential for a fast reactivation of the system following a complete breakdown, the End User may create backup copies in the required quantities. The pertinent system disks shall be marked accordingly. These backup copies may be used for archive purposes in connection with data backup only.
The End User will not modify the user guides, operating manuals and release notes made available by CAEN, if any. Such documentation may:
only be used to support the End User’s use of the CAEN Software;
not be republished or redistributed to any unauthorized third party;
not be distributed or used to conduct training for which the End User, or any other party, receives a fee.
The End User shall take the necessary steps to prohibit unauthorized access to the CAEN Software and its documentation by third parties.
The original data media, as well as all backup copies, shall be stored in a secure place, safe from access by unauthorized third parties.
Disclaimer of Warranties by CAEN
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the CAEN Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind.
CAEN, its licensors, and its and their affiliates disclaim all warranties, conditions, and representations (express, implied, oral, and written) with respect to the CAEN Software including without limitation all express, implied, and statutory warranties and conditions of any kind, such as title, non-interference with your enjoyment, authority, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness or suitability for any purpose (whether or not CAEN knows or has reason to know of any such purpose), system integration, accuracy or completeness, results, reasonable care, workmanlike effort, lack of negligence, and lack of viruses, whether alleged to arise under law, by reason of custom or usage in the trade, or by course of dealing.
CAEN does not warrant that the CAEN Software will operate uninterrupted or be error free or that defects are correctable or will be corrected.
Any service obtained using the CAEN Software is done at the End User’s own discretion and risk, and the End User will be solely responsible for any damage to his/her computer system or loss of data that results from the download and/or use of any such material or service.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CAEN, its licensors, and its and their affiliates make no warranty that:
the CAEN Software will operate properly;
the CAEN Software will meet the End User’s system/technical requirements;
the operation of the CAEN Software will be uninterrupted, bug free, or error free in any or all circumstances;
any defects in the CAEN Software can or will be corrected by CAEN.
The terms set forth herein will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent not prohibited by the applicable laws, in no event shall CAEN be liable for personal injury or any incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to the End User’s use of or inability to use the CAEN Software, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise) and even if CAEN has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
As mentioned in article 6 above, CAEN Software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, “with all faults” and without warranty of any kind, therefore the End User acknowledges that the use of the CAEN Software shall be at its own risk and the End User waves any right to compensation for any kind of damage or loss directly or indirectly consequential to the use of the CAEN Software.
In no event shall CAEN’s total liability to the End User for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the total amount of the fees paid for the CAEN Software license.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations of liability shall apply only to the full extent permitted by the applicable law.
Indemnification
The End User is solely responsible for compliance with agreements the End User has executed with third parties.
The End User agrees to indemnify and hold CAEN harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party in connection with or arising out of the End User’s use of the CAEN Software, the End User’s violation of any terms or conditions of the CAEN Software license and/or violation of applicable laws, or the violation of any rights of another person or entity.
