LABORATORI NAZIONALI DEL GRAN SASSO

SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT

On December 13, 2006 at 14:30, M. Di Paolo Emilio from L’Aquila University will give a seminar entitled:

V-DAS: A Versatile Data Acquisition System on bus VME

Abstract

A new versatile data acquisition system (DAQ) named V-DAS and based on the VME bus is presented. It has been developed at Laboratori Nazionali di

Frascati and at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. V-DAS has been

originally developed for the acquisition of data generated by the

gravitational antennas (Nautilus and Explorer) belonging to the ROG group.

The system is supported by a text based user interface (TUI) and a graphic

user interface (GUI), both allowing for an easy management of the DAQ. The

system architecture relies on a VME crate managed by an Intel-based crate

controller running the Linux operating system. The software is written

using the C language.
