Fast, microprocessor driven, data acquisition for Fermilab Experiment E-705
Data rate in excess of 10/sup 5/ 16-bit CAMAC words/sec, with peak rates of up to 2X10/sup 6/ words/sec, are expected from Fermilab experiment E-705. To handle such rate, a fast Data Acquisition System was designed, composed of several CAMAC Smart Controllers, sending their data, in a combined serial/parallel organization, to a VME based data collection and forwarding system. Such a system, contained in a VME Crate, consists of homebuilt data receiver and transmitter boards, a Motorola VME-110, 68000 based, Single Board Computer acting as a supervisor, and a large (greater than or equal to4 Mbytes) buffer memory. Data filtering capabilities will be added to the system with the inclusion of several MK 75602 Single Board Computers, acting as processing cells.
