Experience using databases in the Aleph data acquisition and control system

  • 1. European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

The Aleph data acquisition and control system (DAQ) relies heavily on the use of databases to hold descriptions of the detector, the readout, trigger, control and data monitoring systems. In this paper we review the overall architecture of these databases and to describe the problems we have encountered with the current system mainly in the area of the physical implementation and standardization which influence directly the effort needed for long term maintenance of the DAQ system for a big experiment.
