At the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL) a tool called DAQSIM has been developed to study the behavior of data acquisition (DAQ) systems. This paper reports and discusses the graphics used in DAQSIM. DAQSIM graphics includes a graphical user interface, animation, debugging, and control facilities. DAQSIM graphics not only provides a convenient DAQ simulation environment, it also serves as an efficient manager in simulation development and verification.< >
