Data acquisition framework at SACLA

SACLA (the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Free Electron Laser) has been open to public users since March 2012. We support several types of image sensors and provide a data acquisition system, which guarantees image data storage of the corresponding shot-by-shot beam information. The maximum data throughput is 5 Gbps, which is achieved by parallel processing. A standard application for accessing the raw data is also available. The aim of post-processing is the seamless connection of specific analyses conducted by users. Future upgrade plans are under consideration.
