The TOTEM experiment at the CERN LHC is dedicated to the measurement of the Total and Elastic cross-section and to the study of Diffractive scattering. The front-end electronics of the Data Acquisition and Trigger Systems were designed having in mind the peculiar geometrical configuration, spanning the very forward regions over distances up to 220m from the interaction point, trying to unify distant and different detectors by standardizing the readout as far as possible. In addition, the fact that the TOTEM scientific program includes common measurements with CMS translates into additional requirements on both Hardware and Software. As a matter of fact, a large fraction of today's Data Acquisition procedures run as Firmare on powerful embedded FPGAs; this is the reason why TOTEM has taken the decision to include the Firmware in the standard design, testing and release procedures together with more general Online Software. In this paper we describe the full Data Acquisition chain and its Online Software, with emphasis on design issues, methodologies, expected performances and running modes.
