Abstract :
The data acquisition system for FNAL (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) E665, an experiment to study deep inelastic muon scattering from nucleons and nuclei, is described. The system is built with the FNAL VAXONLINE and RSX DA building blocks. The discussion covers the E665 apparatus, goals for data acquisition, FNAL tools, hardware and software architecture, control and communications, data structures, monitoring and performance limitations
