Abstract :
Summary form only. The current data acquisition electronics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory´s ISIS Facility has been in operation since the facility started in 1984. Improving neutron detector technology, changing computing environments, and more exacting experiments will soon exceed its design specification. A new data acquisition and control system is thus required, taking advantage of the latest technology, which can accommodate increased detector numbers, monitor, control and preprocess acquired data, and yet still remain manageable
