It has been specifically tailored to respond to the needs in Nuclear Physics where i) a versatile multi-level numeric trigger is required, ii) the number of channels can are relatively small (256-32k), iii) having a wide dynamic range, iv) relatively high rates(<5kHz) and in particular v) generic via slow control to cater for different instruments in the domain. Propose to present an overview of the GET system as coupled to ACTAR-TPC, AT-TPC (active targets) and SπIRIT(TPC). The performance of the recent (2015) integrated system will be given for recent experiments. Future extensions of the system leading to a high dynamic range will be described.
