Abstract

The Controlled Thermonuclear Research (CTR) division uses a single software package to acquire data from hundreds of CAMAC recorders. For the past five years, this package has been used by all experiments, both manual and computer controlled. A variety of signals are stored in transient digitizers and other memories. The computer retrieves the data and applies an efficient compression algorithm before storing it on disk. The physicist can plan his next shot from the acquired data even as the rest is read. The readout is list directed with device, amplifier, and time-base types and their settings selected by the physicist. A new experiment may be set up in minutes.
