The Data Acquisition system for the KLOE experiment, presently runningat the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati DAPhiNE collider, has beendesigned to sustain an acquisition throughput of 50 Mbyte/s for an eventrate of 10 kHz. its two major components are the front end data readout,based on custom buses, and a complex network of computers and storagedevices hosting a set of distributed processes. The end result is aseamless data transport from the readout system to the storage library,accompanied by concurrent on line calibrations and data quality control.(C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.
