Synchro-Cyclotron data monitoring for proton-therapy center
Synchro-Cyclotron data monitoring for proton-therapy center
Hello PicoTeam,
We are interested in developing data monitoring on our particle accelerator (S2C2, a product of Ion Beam Application) that is used for proton-therapy, a medical technology to treat cancer. Potentially, this would be deployed on our base installed (about ten units for now but more in the future).
We are interested in monitoring:
* 11 signals
* At a minimum sampling rate of 2MS/s
* Continuous acquisition of 30seconds that could be run each hour
* With a minimum resolution of 12bits.
The full set up have has to be operator less so we plan to control the picoscope through your SDK.
So we are interested in your point of view to know which product would be best suited for us?
Nevertheless, we identified the pico 4824 with 8 channels. It means we would need 2 of them in streaming mode. What computer performance are you recommending to suit our requirements?
We have experience in using the pico 5000 series through your SDK in C and python but mostly in block mode.
If you need any further information, feel free to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards

Re: Synchro-Cyclotron data monitoring for proton-therapy center
Hi ictkint,
With two PicoScope 4824's you would be able to synchronize the start of your captures (by using a channel on each scope that triggers from the same signal), but you wouldn't be able to ensure that the captures stay synchronized after the trigger, so they are likely to gradually drift out of sync over a period of 30 seconds at 2MS/s.
However, our PicoScope 6000E series have an input for an External clock (of 10MHz) so you could use an external source to sychnronize two 8-Channel models, and then divide the clock down for your sample rate.

Gerry
