Description

Data Acquisition gets the data from the front-end detector electronics to mass-storage. In this lecture we will cover the most basic concepts of data acquisition and triggering. We will talk about concepts like buffering, dead-time, scalability. We will also introduce some important programming paradigms for DAQ and discuss some aspects of network-ed data acquisition systems.
