Data acquisition hardware for the D0 MicroVAX farm
Conference

OSTI ID:7166605
We describe the MicroVAX-based data acquisition system used by the D0 experiment. We give operational characteristics of the data flow in this system: a ''farm'' of MicroVAX processors each receiving an event over multiple input dual-port memory channels. We discuss the individual hardware components and their performance at the Fermilab NWA test beam and other sites, as well as some further developments. 1 ref., 1 fig.
