Welcome to the world of
MIDAS.

| MIDAS is a versatile Data Acquisition System (DAQ) for medium scale physics experiments. |

If you want a flexible and simple DAQ , MIDAS and its applications may be what you are looking for. This document will try to answer most of your questions regarding installation, setup, running, and development.
- MIDAS is a result of a development effort made by
- Stefan Ritt at PSI in Switzerland (Midas@PSI) in collaboration with
- Pierre Amaudruz and Konstantin Olchanski at TRIUMF in Canada.
- MIDAS has a dedicated discussion forum (Electronic logbook) which provides a common place for MIDAS users to report problems, share experience, post requests for new features or suggestions for improvement. You can browse this Elog or register for Email notifications.
- The MIDAS source code is subject to the GPL and can be accessed from the SVN repository site in Switzerland either for inspection or download (see Quickstart). A tarball is available either from the Swiss or Canadian sites.
