Description

Hardware and software developed for real time control of experiments in Atomic Molecular and Optical (AMO) physics.

The system has a master control module (MCM) that drives auxiliary modules with digital, analog and RF outputs (DO, AO, RFO)   with a temporal resolution of 100 ns and a memory depth of 8M operations.

MCM modules are programmed via a USB 2.0. Multiple MCM modules can be connected in a tree structure and synchronized to a common clock. Each MCM controls up to 128 addresses.

CAD design files (Kicad) and full source code for firmware and two different control programs are provided. Start from the README.htlm file in the home directory.
