Abstract :
A large array of MicroVAX computers will be used for high-speed data acquisition and online filtering in the D0 experiment at Fermi National Laboratory. We describe this system, as well as several smaller data acquisition systems now operational, with particular emphasis on the control and communication software. The computers in this array will run under VAXELN.
