Abstract :
To improve existing experiments at COSY a new DAQ system is currently under development. It is also well suited to the requirements of WASA at COSY after its transfer from CELSIUS. The DAQ modules are scattered to about 10..20 crates and are able to digitize and store several thousands events before a computer engagement is required. Therefore we need a purely hardware based synchronisation system. The synchronisation system consists of one master module and several output modules housed in a proprietary LVDS crate. It communicates over point to point links with the crate controllers
