Abstract

The central institute of electronics (ZEA-2) in the Forschungszentrum Juelich (FZJ) has developed the novel readout electronics JUDIDT to cope with high-rate data acquisition of the KWS-1 and KWS-2 detectors in the experimental Hall at the Forschungsreacktor Muenchen FRM-II in Garching, Muenchen. This electronics has been then modified and used also for the data-acquisition of a prototype for an ANGER Camera proposed for the planned European Spallation Source. To commission the electronics, software for the data acquisition and the data monitoring has been developed. In this report the software is described.
