Data Acquisition
Description
This working group will be focused on designing and implementing advanced data acquistion systems for FRIB experiments.
Questions about FRIB data acquisition
The data acquisition collaboration is working to define a program of
research and development that can support the detector development
collaborations in their work. It would help our work to begin defining
what services your collaborations need or desire from an FRIB data
acquisition system during the development of your detectors
and after operations start.
To help you help us, we have these questions:
1. What are your plans for data acquisition during
development and after deployment at FRIB?
* Will you use an FRIB-developed and supported
data acquisition system, if available?
* Will you use an existing data acquisition system? If so, which one?
* Do you plan to develop your own?
* Why do you choose this option?
2. If your device is not using an FRIB data acquisition system,
will it interface with other devices?
3. Will your device build events using information from other devices,
or will it provide information to other FRIB detectors for
them to build events?
4. Will your collaboration provide data acquisition support to all users
of the device?
5. Will your device be controlled by the FRIB controls system or
by some other control system?
6. Do you need support from FRIB in developing data acquisition
for any or all of
* readout of devices,
* management of data buffers and event building, or
* data analysis?
7. What novel readout technologies will your device use that are
either uncommon or not found in existing data acquisition systems?
8. How do you anticipate that the data acquisition system will limit
the operation of your device?
Please send your responses to
Robert Varner. We will incorporate
the responses in our discussions.
