QDS

The QDS is a 4-channel quench detection system from ELS Instruments (formerly CAEN ELS) for protecting superconducting magnets. Floating bipolar inputs with auto-ranging and configurable absolute and differential thresholds drive interlocks when a quench is detected. ProDigitek supplies the QDS in Australia.
