MIDAS is a modern data acquisition system developed at [http://www.psi.ch PSI] and [http://www.triumf.ca TRIUMF]. Supported hardware includes VME, Fastbus, CAMAC, RS232, GPIB, USB, ethernet, fiber optic and MSCB attached data acquisition devices. MIDAS is written in C/C++ and runs on Linux, MacOS and MS Windows. It is licensed under the GPL.  
This wiki is no longer updated. Its pages now point to the new documentation, or are kept as historical pages.


On August 2013, the complete MIDAS documentation has been moved to TRIUMF for consistency and can be accessed via [http://midas.triumf.ca http://midas.triumf.ca]. Only a (very historic) introduction is still accessible at
