Description
In this talk I will discuss the evolution in the Nuclear Instrumentation (small scale experiments) over the last 20 years. I will start from the standard NIM detection system and evolve towards todays more and more digitized electronics and DAQ systems. The number of detectors and the size of the equipment has changed tremendously, but in partly in opposite direction to each other. However, in reality the structure/logic how it works has not changed that much, but it has in great deal become black boxes for the user. Examples from HIE-ISOLDE and R3B will be used.
