The compass data system
Description
COMPASS will be the most intensively computerised experiment so far built by Culham Laboratory. The COMPASS Data System will be an extension of the data collecting techniques already in use. Data acquisition will use Camac systems controlled by LSI-11 computers operating under RT-11. The data will be transferred via an Ethernet LAN to a VAX data management computer. Data storage and archive will use optical discs providing on-line storage for 11/2 to 3 Gbytes and a retrieval time of 1 to 2 minutes for off-line data. Set-up and performance parameters from the programmable controller operated Machine Control System will be stored as part of the raw data. Control of the output power of the ECRH system will be shared between the Machine Control System and the Data System. (author)
