Description

The Endeavour programme [1] at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source will see both new and upgraded instruments brought online in the coming few years. With the use of new detector technology, projected increased data rates and a desire to collect much more data in event mode adapting the existing acquisition system components was judged impractical.

To address these challenges we are adopting a broker based streaming architecture similar to that planned for the European Spallation Source. This new Linux based neutron acquisition architecture will need to co-exist with our existing Microsoft Windows based systems that support the other parts of experiment control. We will describe our planned architecture, the components we have developed as part of the solution, and our future plans.
