Abstract

In this note we report on the developments of the data acquisition (DAQ) system for a large Time Projection Chamber (TPC). A large TPC is proposed as part of the tracking system for an experiment at the future electron positron linear collider ILC. The DAQ system used for large TPC prototypes was initially based on the ALICE DAQ system. This system was successfully used during a series of test beams in DESY with a large TPC prototype. The collaboration is now developing the DAQ system using the most recent technologies to investigate possible architectures for the future experiment.
