Integration of PCI modules in JDAQ

This paper presents the extension of the data acquisition and control system JDAQ, used at TEXTOR, to allow different data acquisition hardware. The extension was developed for the INCAA-TR10 and INCAA-TR32 recorders. These modules are built in the “CompactPCI” hardware format. It has been demonstrated that measuring with PCI modules under JDAQ is possible. However, the handling of the modules is not as systematic as measuring with CAMAC modules. General problems with implementation of the PCI modules will be discussed in this paper.
