The FASTBUS modular high-speed data acquisition and control system has been described in earlier papers. Implementations have since been made in accelerator laboratories world-wide resulting in clarifications, modifications and extensions. Of tremendous benefit to users have been FASTBUS Standard Routines. The availability of such standard software is unique for high speed bus systems and resulted from the involvement of hardware and software specialists in all aspects of the development. FASTBUS is the highest performance instrumentation and data acquisition bus in existence and its development was essential to handle the outputs of detectors used with high energy accelerators now in operation. It has been an important factor in recent experiments, including the Z{sup 0} measurements at CERN, Fermilab and SLAC. Also among numerous FASTBUS implementations are those for TPC systems at KEK and BNL. 2 refs., 5 figs.
