A multiprocessor system for the on-line collection and handling of the LNS Crystal Ball data

  • 1. INFN - Lab. Nazionale del Sud, V.le A. Doria, Catania (Italy)

Description

The data acquisition system for the 4π multidetector Crystal Ball of the LNS is described. This system is built around a modular multiprocessor architecture, VMEbus based, using a one broadcasting/many receivers data passing scheme, in order to allow for different functions to be performed asynchronously and concurrently on separate receiver stations. A well tested software architecture is used, to keep simple the interaction of the user with the whole system
