Concept of the Front-End

We have chosen the name “RED Cube” for our striking design of the front-end unit (see picture RED Cube). In this description, we may use the more generic abbreviation “FEU” for the front-end unit from time to time. Before we go into the details of the hardware, we would like to comment on the concept of our front-end more generally. The following ten issues will be addressed:

• modularity
• power management
• hibernation mode
• raw data logging
• IT flexibility
• IT connectivity
• SAM connectivity
• site selection
• packaging
• installation
