BDACS Software.
Abstract:
The Binary Data Acquisition and Control System BDACS has undergone extensive hardware augmentation to provide additional high-speed and low-speed monitoring. In a parallel effort, the software control package for the BDACS has undergone a similar major modification to provide the necessary control functions for the extended hardware. Moreover, the restructed software package has incorporated improvements in data acquisition and reduction efficiency and has provided a more detailed on-line printout of the data vector. Last, the new BDACS software package has been organized in a structured program modular format to allow for future expansion without complicated interdependencies among the several program modules.
