Abstract :
We report on the GANIL general data acquisition system based on VME crates distributed in several experimental areas, linked to a VAX cluster by optical fibers and Ethernet for control and storage. Acquisition buses are CAMAC, FERA and VXI. We present the system configuration, experiment description procedures and adaptation for VXI and remote controls for the 4π INDRA detector. We also discuss the INDRA asynchronous electronic trigger
