  This paper describes the data acquisition system used for data readout from a
segmented detector of reactor antineutrinos with active shielding. Theoretical
approach to the data acquisition is described and two possible solutions using
QDCs and digitizers are discussed. Also described are the results of the DAQ
performance during routine data taking operation of DANSS. DANSS (Detector of
the reactor AntiNeutrino based on Solid Scintillator) is a project aiming to
measure a spectrum of reactor antineutrinos using inverse beta decay (IBD) in a
plastic scintillator. The detector is located close to an industrial nuclear
reactor core and is covered by passive and active shielding. It is expected to
have about 15000 IBD interactions per day. Light from the detector is sensed by
PMT and SiPM.
