FWPD is an optional FPGA firmware package that offers advanced real-time pulse detection and analysis functionality. Significant data reduction is achieved by performing onboard pulse characterization and transferring pulse attributes rather than raw data. Trigger levels can be set individually for each input channel and record length (number of acquired consecutive samples) is dynamic and data-driven. Functionality and feature set vary between digitizer models. Please refer to the corresponding datasheet and/or user guide for details, and see the video below for a short capability overview.​
