Description

This paper describes the data acquisition system developed for the central detector of the OBELIX experiment at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. The system is based on a VME multiprocessor that formats, collects and make a rough online analysis of the events digitized by high speed (100 MHz) Flash-ADCs. Full on-line event reconstruction is also provided
