Caption: The heart of the detector electronics of the Athena Wide Field Imager (WFI) is formed by a Frame Processing Module (FPM), which digitises and processes all analogue output signals of the camera head. The photo shows a prototype of the FPM hardware based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).

Creation date: October 2021.
