Acquisition and visualization of particle detector data in Tcl/Tk

We present a general purpose data acquisition system for set-ups ranging from laboratory electronics tests, over test beams to small and medium sized High Energy Physics experiments. Special emphasis will be given to the on-line visualization of the detector data. We will show how the Tcl/Tk softwar...

Sumario:We present a general purpose data acquisition system for set-ups ranging from laboratory electronics tests, over test beams to small and medium sized High Energy Physics experiments. Special emphasis will be given to the on-line visualization of the detector data. We will show how the Tcl/Tk software development environment can be used to obtain professional detector images with a very limited development effort. The software has been developed in the context of R&D for the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC, and its use in a number of applications will be illustrated. (10 refs).
