The HPD-TA (Temporal Analyzer) is a high-performance digital data
acquisition and control system specifically designed to read out im-
ages from the Hamamatsu streak camera
’
s phosphor screen. It ena-
bles precise, quantitative acquisition and pre-analysis of two dimen-
sional streak data that includes photon counting plus a full range of
data correction and calibration possibilities. It possible to select the
best camera for a given streak configuration and application. The
camera is connected to an IBM-compatible PC/AT via a frame grab-
ber board that can support real-time data transfer.
The HPD-TA allows the remote control of the C5680 via GPIB in-
terface. The entire system is controlled through a powerful but
userfriendly software application that runs on a Microsoft Win-
dows platform.
* A read out system based on the
Macintosh
computer is also
available.
Please consult with our sales office for more details.

The HPD-TA requires an industry-standard Pentium-class (or com-
patible) PC with a 32-bit Microsoft Windows version. A fast, high-
resolution graphics configuration is recommended. Depending on
the streak camera system configuration, a number of PCI and/or
ISA slots as well as a serial interface port may be occupied. (Please
consult Hamamatsu for a detailed specification for a given case.)
