Product Overview
Labeled on its panel as an Ethernet Acquisition Server, Nuclear Data's ND556 AIM sits in a Nuclear Instrumentation Module (NIM) bin and connects up to two ADCs, through rear headers marked ADC 1 and ADC 2, to a computer network. A modular Local Terminal jack on the front and a 15-pin COMM connector on the rear handle setup and communication, and ten LEDs show status and acquisition on each input.
Key Features
- Front panel labeled Ethernet Acquisition Server
- Two ADC input headers on the rear, ADC 1 and ADC 2
- 15-pin COMM connector on the rear
- Local Terminal modular jack on the front
- Front LEDs: Error, OK, Test, Comm TX, Comm RX, In Use, Acquire 1 and 2, Active 1 and 2
- Single-width NIM module with the standard NIM power connector
Applications
- Keeping an older Nuclear Data spectroscopy system on the network
- Replacing a failed ND556 in a two-ADC counting setup
- Stocking a spare interface for a gamma spectroscopy lab running legacy hardware
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need a NIM bin to run?
Yes. It takes its operating power from the bin through the rear NIM connector.
How many ADCs does it connect?
Two, through the ADC 1 and ADC 2 headers on the rear.
What am I taking on?
A used ND556 that was marked good when it was put away as a spare, tested to power up only. The photos are of this module. Flat-rate shipping in the lower 48, and orders over the free-shipping line ship free.
Its own panel calls it a server, which is a big title for one slot in a NIM bin. Slide it in and let an older system get back on the network.
