+The MCPHA application for the RedPitaya by Pavel Demin provides a multi-channel pulse-height analyzer as
+well as an oscilloscope application capable of transferring large data reates reaching the theoretical
+limit of the 1Gb port. The package consists of an FPGA image and a server process running on the
+RedPitaya board. A client script controls the server and pulls the data to the client computer.
+
+This package extends the original one by a possibity to record or export waveform data and
+provides helper scripts to analyze recordes spectra or to read exported waveform data. An
+interface to the buffer manager *mimoCoRB* for buffering and parallel processing of large
+date volumes is also provided.
+
+This package is in use for spectrography experiments in physics laboratory courses at the
+faculty of physics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
