Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 1:
2. The dual mode detector system according to claim 1, wherein said channel readout architecture comprises:
a) one or more analog multiplexers connected to the analog readout circuitry of all channels and configured to, according to the channel selection and MUX control signals, route the selected channels to one or more analog to digital converters ADCs;
b) one or more analog to digital converters connected to said analog multiplexers which digitize the output of the analog readout of one or more channels according to the channel selection and MUX control signals;
c) wherein the digital outputs of said ADCs are connected to digital multiplexers so that no analog output is present;
d) one or more digital multiplexers connected to the counter readout circuitry of all channels and to the ADCs and configured to, according to the channel selection and MUX control signals, route the selected channels or the ADC output to one or more digital outputs; and
e) one or more digital multiplexers connected to the gain bits readout circuitry of all channels and configured to, according to the channel selection and MUX control signals, route the selected channels to one or more digital outputs.
