AB  - The PET scanner phenoPET is a system dedicated for plant research developed and used for phenotyping studies at the Research Center in Jülich. The detectors consist of LYSO scintillators and Philips digital silicon photomultipliers. A central processing board collects their data and transfers them through a USB-3 connection to the data acquisition server. The USB-3 restricts the maximum output rate to 380 MB/s, which requires controlled data dropping on the board in order to allow measurements with activities that would exceed this limit. Presently we are developing a new readout system that will eliminate this bottleneck. We will replace the USB-3 by a fiber optics link with a maximum data rate of 2 GB/s. In addition, the new central board will provide an embedded operation system (PetaLinux) that has direct access to the hardware interfaces for configuration and monitoring of the detector modules. This will allow the control software to run directly on the board.
