Abstract :
The configuration for a new data acquisition system for the Weapons Neutron Research Facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory is introduced. The system utilizes a FASTBUS front-end for real-time data collection and DEC computers for the experiment control and analysis. A local area network is used extensively within the overall system.
