ABOUT 3596
The Model 3596 CAMAC module functions as either a single-scan or continuously active 16-channel Sigma-Delta ADC.
Sigma-Delta conversion is a technique which attains its very high accuracy by digitally decimating/filtering the output of a fast,
single-bit converter. This eliminates the need for expensive tracking filter, sample/hold, and gain functions allowing a simple
ADC-per-channel structure. This further eliminates the need to multiplex inputs to a common ADC and thereby reduces
crosstalk effects to negligible levels. Another important consequence of the digital filtering is that filter notches are produced
whichvan be made to coincide with 60 Hz (or 50 Hz) power line frequencies and their harmonics. Thus, even in environments
with severe signal corruption due to power line noise, very good results are possible.
