Fasti is modular, flexible, extendable: minimizes obsolescence.
The design does not constrain the downhill
controlling computer:
Fasti is seen as a peripheral through a
network connection.
Fasti is divided in modules with clear-cut boundaries:
when possible boundaries are widely-used standards.
Fasti can generate up to four completely different waveforms,
so it is capable not only of controlling radically different detectors,
but also different modes on the same device.
