            Abstract : 
We propose a data acquisition middleware called DAQ-Middleware. The DAQ-Middleware will be able to make development of DAQ software easy which runs on many PCs. It consists of RT-Middleware based DAQ components and DAQ studio. The RT-Middleware is a software framework for robot systems and will be an international standard. The DAQ-component is one of the RT-components. The DAQ studio is a tool used for development, debugging and operation of the DAQ-components. We added a new function called RawTCP to improve the performance of data transfer. The performance evaluation is shown. The DAQ-Middleware will be used for neutron experiments in J-PARC, Tokai, Japan.
