Abstract :
A progress report is presented on the program for developing data acquisition systems for experiments at the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory. Using the MODSIM II object-oriented discrete-event simulation language, a study is made of the behavior and interaction of various front-end circuits, data-collection chips, data-gathering networks, multilevel triggers, and buffer implementations. Results include system deadtime, throughput, and efficiency as they are influenced by data rates and system architecture
