== Description ==
MIDAS (Maximum Integration Data Acquisition System) has been developed as a general purpose data acquisition system for small and medium scale experiments originally by [[Stefan Ritt]] in 1993, followed by Pierre-André Amaudruz in 1996. It is written in [[C (programming language)|C]] and published under the [[GPL]].
 
The experiment complexity ranges from test systems, where a single PC is connected to CAMAC via a PC-CAMAC interface, to experiments with several front-end computers and analysis nodes. The system currently runs under [[Linux]], [[Microsoft Windows]], various versions of UNIX, [[OpenVMS|VMS]], [[VxWorks]] and [[MS-DOS]] and can be ported easily to virtually any operating system which supports [[Internet socket|TCP/IP sockets]].
