The Support of Multiple Data Streams in a Dynamically Configured Software System

This paper discusses a modular data-acquisition system that allows on-line, dynamic configuration of software to meet a user´s particular acquisition and analysis needs. The support of multiple data streams, typically consisting of a raw data stream and one or more derived data streams, is emphasized. Examples are given, including a real-time data transformation of multiparameter events that operates in a two-parameter data space.
