Description
In this paper,we report a laboratory DAQ system based on VME bus, for applications in nuclear physics and the detector tests. It uses a commercial ADC card and a single board computer as a crate controller. They are based on the VME bus.The software is based on the ROOT framework. A canvas window is employed for online monitoring, and the acquired data are stored as Histograms in a ROOT file. The data acquisition speed can rea MB/s. A spectrum of 241Am 59 keV γ-ray collected with a CdZnTe detector is shown to demonstrate the system. (authors)
