MILLISECOND-DURATION MICROWAVE BURST OBSERVATIONS WITH THE SSRT FAST DATA-ACQUISITION SYSTEM

The hardware and software for the observation of millisecond bursts wi th the Siberian solar radio telescope (SSRT) at 5.2 cm is described. T he multiprocessing computer and data acquisition system records 180 an alog signals from the SSRT multichannel receiver every 7 milliseconds. The recorded information opens the opportunity to study the position, structure, and other characteristics of solar burst sources with high temporal and spatial resolution. Examples of the observations are pre sented and briefly discussed in order to illustrate the overall perfor mance of the system.
