A system for recording and viewing events in a distributed data acquisition environment has been developed at the Aerodynamics Laboratory of the Institute for Aerospace Research, National Research Council of Canada. The system has been designed to capture and record asynchronous events generated by multiple programs and users, and to allow a simple, intuitive and platform-independent method of examining events of specific interest. The ease of use from the perspective of both software developers and end-users alike leads to rapid acceptance and utilization of this system. The result is the existence of an accurate record of the events occurring during a wind tunnel test that is of great value in carrying out the task of finding and eliminating problems caused by inconsistencies in software, hardware or operating procedures. This document is intended to provide an overall description of the system as well as specific details of its implementation.
