Popis: The signals received from the optical receivers like as SiPM and PMT due to the collision of energetic particles with the scintillators attached to these optical receivers, are weak and fast. To measure the number of signals as well as their peak height with electronic circuits, it is necessary to optimize the signals. An example of SiPM driver circuit, signal counting and peak measurement is presented in this text. Also, the electronic circuits necessary to optimize the signals, including amplification, elimination of background noise, conversion of signal to digital and increase of signal duration are presented in this text. At the end, two examples of test results are provided to confirm the correct operation of the circuits. Such a system has several advantages. This set has a small volume and is easily portable. Its operating voltage is 12 volts and with a current of about 0.3 amps, as a result of which it is possible to use this set in any test easily. In addition, the cost of building such a system is much less than providing similar ready-made systems. Therefore, it seems that the use of all or part of these circuits can be useful for researchers. This text, while providing a special method for optimizing the signals, provides the reader with a coherent and complete method of constructing and testing circuits, and if the reader is familiar with the basics of electronics and detectors, he or she can reconstruct the circuits without any problems. Therefore, parts of this text may have an educational and review form. It seems that without these sections, the right to read will not be fulfilled.
