LEDO PEREDA, Luis Miguel; VERGARA LIMON, Sergio; ARTECHE DIAZ, Raúl  y  GUIBERT GALA, Rolando. Intelligent interface for data acquisition and transmission from a neutron generator to a computer through an optical fibre. Nucleus [online]. 2008, n.43, pp. 27-33. ISSN 0864-084X.

The present paper shows the design, construction and application of an interface developed on the base of the microcontroller usage. The aim is to reestablish the communication exchange among the basic modules that constitute the Neutron Generator belonging to the CEADEN Physics Department. Original interface design is upgraded by the automation of the data acquisition on the Neutron Generator exploitation parameters. The data acquisition card, optoelectronic converters, a PC-user interface using Lab VIEW environment, the indispensable firmware for interface functioning were developed for that purpose. The use of PC in the Neutron Generator is introduced, thus setting a precedent for the further automation of other subsystems.

Palabras clave : data acquisition; interfaces; optical fibers; artificial intelligence; neutron generators; computers; laboratories.
