This paper discusses the data acquisition system FATIMA (Fera Amplitude and Time Multiparameter Analyzer) utilizing CAMAC, FERA and a VAX-Station, designed and built for nuclear physics experiments like subthreshold {pi}{sup 0}-production in Heavy Ion Collisions. The major features of the system are fast data readout of up to 352 ADCs and/or TDCs in conjunction with data reduction, event buffering, high speed data transfer and simple interfacing to any workstation. For on-line acquisition, recording and analysis of data as well as experiment control a modular program system was developed on VAX/VMS. Data analysis comprises on-line sort of real and pseudo channels and graphical representation of sorted data.
