A high-speed data acquisition system was successfully developed and put into production in a harsh radiation environment in a couple of months to test new materials impacted by proton beams for future use in beam intercepting devices. A 4 MHz ADC with high impedance and low capacitance was used to digitize the data at a 2 MHz bandwidth. The system requirements were to design a full speed data streaming on a trigger during up to 30 ms and then reconfigure the hardware in less than 500 ms to perform a 100 Hz acquisition for 30 seconds. Experimental data were acquired, using LabVIEW real-time, relying on extensive embedded instrumentation (strain gauges and temperature sensors) and on acquisition boards hosted on a PXI crate. The data acquisition system has a dynamic range and sampling rate that are sufficient to acquire the very fast and intense shock waves generated by the impact. This presentation covers the requirements, the design, development and commissioning of the system. The overall performance, user experience and preliminary results will be reported.
