+Task: Data acquisition
+Description: Debian Science data acquisition packages
+ This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to data
+ acquisition.  This might be used in several sciences (as for instance
+ science-viewing and science-typesetting).

+Pkg-Description: TANGO is an object oriented distributed control system using CORBA
+ TANGO is an object oriented distributed control system using CORBA.
+ .
+ In TANGO all objects are representations of devices.  The devices can
+ be on the same computer or distributed over a number of computers
+ interconnected by a network. Communication inter devices is done using
+ CORBA and can be synchronous, asynchronous or event driven.
+ .
+ The object model in TANGO supports methods, attributes and properties.
+ TANGO provides an API which hides all the details of network access and
+ provides object browsing, discovery and security features.
+ .
+ Permanent data is stored in a Mysql database.
+ .
+ TANGO is being actively developed as a collaborative effort between the
+ ESRF (www.esrf.eu), Soleil (synchrotron-soleil.fr), Alba (www.cells.es)
+ and Elettra institutes (www.elettra.trieste.it).

+Pkg-Description: data acquisition and control system
+ MX is a data acquisition and control system that is designed to serve
+ several functions:
+  * As a portable toolkit for writing data acquisition and control
+    programs.
+  * As a standalone system capable of controlling entire experiments.
+  * As a platform for building device control servers to be used by
+    other applications.
+  * As a way of extending other control systems and of glueing disparate
+    control systems together.
