This file is a Revised Requirement Specifications document outlining the technical components required for an Artiq-based experimental control system being procured by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The specification details a comprehensive set of integrated electronics and hardware modules needed to support real-time experiment scheduling, signal generation, and data acquisition capabilities.
The required items include: three EEM AC Power Modules (200W minimum output via universal IEC input with Molex MiniFit outputs); five Kasli Artiq Integrated cards for experiment coordination and clock distribution; one Kasli-SoC card with integrated CPU for faster control system operation; two DIO-SMA-TTL cards and one DIO-RJ45-TTL card for fast TTL signal input/output with precise RTIO timing; five Urukul boards providing at least four channels each for phase-coherent DDS RF signal generation; two Fastino boards with at least 32 channels each for precisely-timed analog voltage generation; two Shuttler boards and two Shuttler-AFE cards (minimum 16 channels, 125 MSPS DAC) for high-speed deterministic analog waveform streaming; one Songbird low-noise DAC board (minimum 2.5GS/s 16-bit) for stable analog tone generation; and one rack-mountable crate with adequate airflow for housing all EEM cards. All components must integrate with the Artiq ecosystem and support synchronization across digital, RF, and analog subsystems with precise timing control and peripheral communication capabilities via ethernet and fiber DRTIO connections.
