Abstract

An acquisition system based on a network (Ethernet/DECNET) of KAV30 VAX processors is described. KAV30 is a VME single board computer based around rt-Vax 300 and running in VAXELN, a Digital Equipment software product for the development of dedicated, real time systems for VAX processors. A central VAX running under the VAX/VMS operating system is used as file server and as an interface of the acquisition system with respect to the user´s world
