Abstract :
The evolution of the data acquisition process at JET since June 1983 is described. The evolution of software, hardware, and volume of data is reviewed. The analysis of the performance of a multicomputer data acquisition system has required modeling of the various components. The effects of data compression have recently been analyzed and included in the model. Guidelines for future projects are derived
