EXL & R³B DAQ / H.Simon Token Ring Schema as proposed by Ulrich Trunk 2003   Periodic readout at 20MHz   Token asynchronously passes from channel to channel in search of data   Within one readout cycle token could pass through all channels   If token encounters occupied channels, data readout is initiated.   After readout the token passes to the next channel.   20 MHz/128 Ch ≈ 160 kHz 10 Bit ADC (ENOB 10.4)
