CODA Users Workshop - Data Acquisition at Jefferson Lab

Workshop was held on Monday June 7th, 2004

Available talks can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.jlab.org/pub/coda/docs/workshop04

Overview:

Jefferson Lab's online data acquisition toolkit (CODA) has evolved over the course of nearly 15 years of development. The primary goal in its development has been to support ALL the experimental programs at the lab - from the simple tabletop testbed at a university to the large CLAS spectrometer in Hall B. This one-day workshop is being held to bring existing and prospective users together for presentations and discussions describing what CODA is currently capable of, and as Jefferson Lab moves toward future expansion it will provide a forum on how best to address the data acquisition demands of a new generation of complex experiments while still maintaining an "accessibility" to the individual user.
