Abstract

Experiments aiming at measuring the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) are at the forefront of precision measurements and demand instrumentation of increasing sensitivity and reliability. In this paper, we report on the development of a dedicated acquisition and control electronics board for the nEDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. This multifunction module is based on a FPGA (Field-programmable gate array) which allows an optimal combination of versatility and evolution capacities.
