FASTBUS system used in a high energy experiment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6858664
Experiment No. 735, now being executed at the A.G.S. is implemented in FASTBUS. Briefly, this data acquisition system is designed to operate and gather data from high energy physics experiments at sub-microsecond speeds. It is a 32 bit bus system capable of operating at near-gigabit rates. The bus can be segmented with each segment operating independently when not communicating with each other. The system is based upon a very fast integrated circuit family, emitter coupled logic or ECL.
