The NSCL Data Acquisition system is a general purpose nuclear physics data acquisition system for small to medium scale nuclear physics experiments.

NSCL Data Acquisition System can be combined with NSCL SpecTcl to form a powerful online/offline data handling system. It is in use at several university labs and, of course, the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University.

What's New in 8.1-pre4 Development Release:
The way the experimental files work has been reorganized.
Issues in controplush have been fixed.
More hardware support has been added (preliminary VM-USB support).

What's New in This Release:
Fix incorrect parameter type declaration in CCAMACScalerLRS2551::Read member.
Do direct event logging..not ftp.
Fix race condition between sclclient and ScalerDisplay script. Evidently there are cases where the connection can be accepted in the Tcp/IP sense by not correctly setup to receive data in te Tcl sense. Thanks to Kevin Carnes who ran into this.
Revert the assumption that CAEN 785 (e.g.) firmware 8.08 and higher don't corrupt the word count in the header... 8.08 does in any event.
bcnaf.tcl : it and its dependent scripts get installed with the .tcl removed from their names, bcnaf.tcl was looking for e.g. cesbcnaf.tcl not cesbcnaf... fix that... Thanks to Alexandra Gade for pointing that one out.
CCAMACScalerLRS4434 - Correct signature on Read members.
Added replaceState to Readout's StateMachine class.
