- MCE hardware
- MCE Accessories
- MCE Power Requirements
- MCE can be powered by either a UBC-supplied Switching Power Supply (Vicor) or by a set of Linear Supplies. We recommend using Linear Supplies for all ground-based experiments.
Data Acquisition PC
- MCE Control Computer is a signle-board computer with a PCI card.
- Alternatively, you may setup your own Linux PC: specs: MAS PC specifications email template
- Data-acquisition card: ARC-64 - 250 MHz PCI Interface Board Rev. 5E
MCE Firmware-Upgrade Accessories
There are various programmable parts in the MCE. The firmware for these parts can be upgraded either through the MCE fibre interface or using the MCE front-panel JTAG connector and Altera-supplied software/hardware listed below.
Upgrading MCE firmware over the fibre interface or so-called remote fimware update is a relatively new feature. See details here
Here is what you need for the old method:
- USB Blaster here. Note that if you are an academic institution, USB Blasters are available for free from Altera website.
- Quartus II Software (only the web-edition is necessary) from https://www.altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-we
