PANOSETI实验是一个全天、全时可见的搜索纳秒到毫秒时间尺度的瞬变。该实验将在几个地点部署天文台圆顶，每个圆顶包含约45个望远镜，覆盖约4，440平方度。在这里，我们描述的焦平面电子学的可见光波长望远镜，其中每一个包含一个主板和四个象限板。在每个象限板上，布置256个硅光电倍增管（SiPM）光子探测器来测量脉冲高度以搜索纳秒时间尺度脉冲。为了同时检查大范围时间尺度（纳秒至毫秒）内的脉冲宽度，仪器实现了连续成像模式（CI模式）和脉冲高度模式（PH模式）。精确的定时是在网关与白色兔子协议。
The PANOSETI experiment is an all-sky, all-the-time visible search for nanosecond to millisecond time-scale transients. The experiment will deploy observatory domes at several sites, each dome containing ~45 telescopes and covering ~4,440 square degrees. Here we describe the focal-plane electronics for the visible wavelength telescopes, each of which contains a Mother Board and four Quadrant Boards. On each quadrant board, 256 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) photon detectors are arranged to measure pulse heights to search for nanosecond time-scale pulses. To simultaneously examine pulse widths over a large range of time scales (nanoseconds to milliseconds), the instrument implements both a Continuous Imaging Mode (CI-Mode) and a Pulse Height Mode (PH-Mode). Precise timing is implemented in the gateware with the White Rabbit protocol.
