Distributed Data Acquisition for BNL802 II: Software
William A. Watson, M. J. LeVine · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science · 1987
Multiple processes running on a VAX and on VME-based processors allow up to 16 detector sub-systems to run independently or coupled, with an aggregate throughput of 600 Kbytes/sec. VMS facilities are used extensively for command definition, message passing, controlling access to CAMAC and high voltage modules, and maintaining shared data structures.
