Product Overview
NIM BIN Canberra / Nuclear Data ND556 AIM Acquisition Interface Module
Condition:
This module is used, clean, and appears to be in good condition based on visual inspection. Although we couldn't test it due to lack of equipment, it was marked as good before being stored as a spare.
Here's what we know about it:
The Canberra/Nuclear Data ND556 AIM (Acquisition Interface Module) played a crucial role in nuclear data acquisition systems. It served as a vital interface between analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and computer workstations in nuclear spectroscopy systems. This module facilitated the transfer and control of data between radiation detectors and data analysis computers, bridging the gap between analog detector signals and digital systems.
The ND556 AIM supported multi-detector setups by connecting multiple ADCs to a single workstation, allowing for more complex and integrated data acquisition. It also enabled computer control of data acquisition parameters, provided buffering, and performed preprocessing of spectroscopy data.
Commonly used in gamma-ray spectroscopy, neutron activation analysis, and in vivo radiation measurement, the ND556 AIM was a staple in nuclear research laboratories. Developed by Nuclear Data, a company that later merged with Canberra Industries, this module represents a significant advancement in the automation and computerization of nuclear data acquisition, laying the groundwork for the highly integrated systems used today.
