Abstract
We built a data acquisition system for the BELLE experiment. The system was designed to cope with the average trigger rate up to 500 Hz at the typical event size of 30 kB. This system has five components: (1) the readout sequ ence controller, (2) the FASTBUS-TDC readout systems using charge-to-time c onversion, (3) the barrel shifter event builder, (4) the parallel online co mputing farm, and (5) the data transfer system to the mass storage. This sy stem has been in operation for physics data taking since June 1999 without serious problems. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re served.
