title: Computer network for data acquisition, storage and analysis.
abstract: Modern scientific instruments can produce huge quantities of data, usually in digital form. However, data acquisition is only one of three important functions. To be useful, data must also be stored and analyzed. Fortunately, the same computer-based technologies that facilitate the generation of large data-sets provide tools to accomplish these tasks. We describe a data system based on computers connected to a network, developed for this purpose.
