Abstract

Several current and proposed experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have novel data acquisition needs. These include (1) continuous digitization, using commercial high-speed digitizers, of signals from the detectors, (2) the transfer of all of the digitized waveform data to commodity processors, (3) the filtering or compression of the waveform data, or both, and (4) the writing of the resultant data to disk for later, more complete, analysis.
