Abstract

In general, High energy Cosmic ray experiment deal with a large number of detector signals. A few prime signal parameters are need to be measured, recorded on a coherent detection of signals, called trigger. Triggers are random in time. It is also necessary to monitor continuously the performance of the detectors. Our project is aimed at developing a prototype of data acquisition system (DAQ) catering the need of such experiments. The Time-Over-Threshold measurement of participating pulses along with Time-stamp is recorded on a valid trigger and pulse counting rates, trigger rates are need to be monitored periodically. The prototype is planned for eight detector signals.
