A Configurable Digital Processor for Scintillation Detector Events

The paper presents a digital configurable instrument for processing signals from scintillation detectors. We discuss design, realization and engineering of the system. The main feature of the architecture is the possibility to adapt to a wide range of different operative conditions by changing configuration of both the digital and the analog section. In particular digital configurable devices, i.e. digital signal processor (DSP) and field programmable gate array (FPGA), guarantee versatility, evolution prospects and easiness of customization of the system.
