Abstract :
The authors propose to design a booster data acquisition system (BDAQ) for the FNAL (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) booster. In essence, this system consists of a large number of digitizers with circular memory buffers. After a machine cycle of interest, these buffers are frozen and then read out into a mass storage device. The hardware and software capabilities needed to make such a data acquisition system a powerful tool for doing accelerator physics studies and improving machine performance is discussed.<>
