Sumario:The structure and basic processes of data acquisition software of the DIRAC experiment for the measurement of pi /sup +/ pi /sup -/ atom lifetime are described. The experiment is running on the PS accelerator of CERN. The developed software allows one to accept, record and distribute up to 3 Mbytes of data to consumers in one accelerator supercycle of 14.4 s duration. The described system is successfully in use in the experiment since its startup in 1998. (13 refs).
