This paper focuses on the analysis, design and development of software for the new data acquisition system of the COMPASS experiment at CERN. In this system, the data flow is controlled by custom hardware; the software will therefore be used only for run control and for monitoring. The requirements on the software have been analyzed, and the functionality of the system has been defined. The system consists of several distributed nodes; communication between the nodes is based on a custom protocol and a DIM library. A minimal version of the system has already been implemented. Preliminary results of performance and stability tests have shown that the system fulfills the defined requirements, and is stable. In the next phase of development, the system will be tested on the real hardware. It is expected that the system will be ready for deployment in 2014.

A powerful, low cost, gas turbine data acquisition system capable of handling 24 or more channels of high and low level data is now in use at the University of Tulsa. The assembled system hardware, less transducers, is priced at about six thousand dollars and shows potential for further significant cost reduction. Easily programmed in the BASIC language, the microcomputer commands an analog-multiplexing digital voltmeter, decodes the resulting serial data, and performs conversion to engineering units. It also processes data for display on a color television monitor, for storage on diskette, and for transcription on a printer. Examples, showing gas turbine performance, clearly portray the power of the general purpose microcomputer in an engineering data acquisition system and its potential for engineering education.
