MIDAS -- Maximum Integration Data Acquisition System -- is no-cost DAQ software an has been developed as a general purpose data acquisition system for small and medium scale experiments.

The system currently runs under LINUX, Windows NT, various versions of UNIX, VMS, VxWorks and MS-DOS and can be ported easily to any operating system which supports TCP/IP sockets. A speed optimized RPC layer is used for data exchange, with which sustained data rates of 980kB/sec (10BaseT), 8.7MB/sec (100BaseT) and up to 70MB/sec locally.

Recommended Hardware
Midas by itself is completely independend of any hardware. It is the users's responsibility to add code which accesses specific hardware to read out. Nevertheless, certain interfaces were used successfully in the past for different systems. For these interfaces, a standard driver is included in the package.
