The FRS as part of the RISING acquisition

The FRS data acquisition can be run in stand-alone mode or as part of more complicated systems. An example of the latter is the setup required for the RISING project.

Figure 1. A schematic representation of the RISING data acquisition architecture.

As illustrated in th Figure, the RISING data acquisition concept is built around three quasi-independent "branches". Data from all three will be merged by a "time orderer" process, which sorts the event information with the help of time stamp information from a common system clock. The "time orderer" will also be responsible for taping and for making the merged data available to e.g. on-line analysis clients.
