The Aleph experiment has over 700000 electronics channels and is expected to generate over 500 Mbytes of data per second. The data acquisition system (DAQ) has been designed to process information from different parts of the detector in parallel using a large number of processing elements. This talk describes the architecture of the software used to implement the readout functions and to configure the system for datataking.
