- Abstract
The pulse shape processor is the onboard digital electronics unit of the X-ray microcalorimeter instrument—the soft X-ray spectrometer—onboard the Hitomi satellite. It processes X-ray events using the optimum filtering with limited resources. It was operated for 36 days in orbit continuously without issues and met the requirement of processing a 150s-1 event rate during the observation of bright sources. Here, we present the results obtained in orbit, focusing on its performance as the onboard digital signal processing unit of an X-ray microcalorimeter.
