Abstract
In a standard DPAC (time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation) setup the time measuring is mostly done by a TAC (time-to-amplitude converter) connected through an ADC to a computer or MCA. Accelerator on-line techniques more often use a TDC (time-to-digital converter) which eliminates nonlinearities and noise in the analog part of the TAC-ADC combination. In this paper we shortly describe an interface for the LeCroy 4201 TDC to an IBM-PC. The system is dedicated to the DPAC technique, but can easily be modified for other applications, e.g. μSR and DPAD.
