VMSMULTI/DA
A prepackaged, single process, easy to use, general purpose CAMAC based data acquisition system, appropriate for small scale nuclear physics experiments is described. The package is simple enough that one individual can use it to perform both data acquisition and analysis on experiments of up to 7 crates of CAMAC. This package represents the latest generation of the MULTI family of data acquisition software and runs on VMS based machines using the JORWAY 411 branch driver. Events are signalled using LAMs and logged to disk. For over ten years, the MULTI data acquisition and analysis software package, originally developed for Caltech and extensively improved by Fermilab and other individuals has been in use for data acquisition all over the world. This highly successful package has now been ported to the VAX by Precision Comuter Methods Inc. for use as a data acquisition tool. It is a combination of the analysis only port of RTMULTI and the SLAC/Fermilab CAMAC Event Handler Jorway Branch driver software adapted to support smaller UNIBUS machines such as the VAX 11/750 and the VAX 11/725.
