Abstract
The VAX 785 XSYS data acquisition and analysis system at the Energy Research Laboratory of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals has been in use since June 1987. This paper describes features unique to the ERL system and presents data on the various aspects of its performance in comparison with other XSYS installations; including data acquisition, sorting, and dumping onto disks and tapes. Results show the effects of data rates and key system parameters on both system dead time and CPU time usage.
