X-IM ME3 is a high-speed and robust control unit enabling real-time photon counting and accurate photon energy measurement. It operates as a data acquisition board in X-Card ME3 powered detector subsystems. Combining a number of multi-energy detector boards with one or more ME3-optimized control units makes it easy to build high-performance and reliable X-ray imaging systems for a variety of security and industrial applications. The robust and reliable X-IM ME3 links detector boards to the acquisition computer. It controls configurations of the detector boards and transfers the acquisition data from the boards to the host computer. The GigE compatible control unit provides a data transfer rate of up to 800 Mbit/s. X-IM ME3 has a compact mechanical size, and comes with on-board signal processing and diagnostic functions. Demonstration software, a control library and a sample source code are available to speed up evaluation and software development.
