11. Juni 2015PSI, What the system does 11. Juni 2015PSI, Seite 2 Readout of the single photon counting EIGER X-ray pixel detector chip With a dynamic range of 8 bits and a frame rate of 12 kHz, a single chip delivers data at a speed of 6.3 Gbit/s. The biggest system planned has a resolution of 9 Megapixels and delivers data at 906 Gbit/s
