    A real-time imaging data acquisition (DAQ) system for pn-junction Charge-Coupled Devices (pnCCD) was developed, incorporating multi-thread processing and multi-frame image superposition techniques to address the specific operational characteristics of pnCCDs. To fulfill the high-speed DAQ requirements for real-time data acquisition and caching, DDR3 memory was employed to receive scientific data from the detector box. The host computer utilized the queue operations functionality of LabVIEW to implement multi-threaded processing for data acquisition, storage, and image superposition. Additionally, real-time image processing modules with multiple operational modes were designed. Experimental results demonstrated that the DAQ system effectively met the requirements across various pnCCD operational modes. Real-time image processing enabled rapid determination of the focusing camera's imaging position, facilitating efficient completion of key experimental procedures, such as focus adjustment and positive axis determination, within the X-ray calibration facility. The system exhibited stable and reliable communication, showcasing exceptional flexibility and portability.
