[en] The Eurogam gamma ray multidetector involves, in a first phase, 45 hyper pure Ge detectors, each surrounded by an Anti Compton shield of 10 BGO detectors. In order to ensure the highest reliability and an easy upgrade of the array, the electronic cards have been designed in the new VXI (VME Bus Extension to Instrumentation) standard; this allows to drive the 495 detectors with 4300 parameters to be adjusted by software. The data acquisition architecture is distributed on an Ethernet network. The software for set up and tests of the VXI cards have been written in C, it uses a real time kernel (VxWorks from Wind River Systems) interfaced to the Sun Unix environment. The inter-tasks communications use the Remote Procedure Calls protocol. The inner-shell of the software is connected to a data base and to a graphic interface which allows the engineers or physicists to have a very easy set-up for so many parameters to adjust
