Abstract
The structure and basic processes of data acquisition software of the DIRAC experiment for the measurement of pi (+)pi (-) atom lifetime are described . The experiment is running on the PS accelerator of CERN. The developed so ftware allows one to accept, record and distribute up to 3 Mbytes of data t o 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. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
