Providing high-precision reference tracks for performance studies of new sensors, beam telescopes are essential for the research and development towards future detectors for high-energy physics. As beam time is a highly limited resource, EUDAQ has been designed with reliability and ease-of-use in mind. It enables flexible integration of different independent devices under test via their specific data acquisition systems into a top-level framework. EUDAQ controls all components globally, handles the data flow centrally and synchronises and records the data streams. Over the past decade, EUDAQ has been deployed as part of a wide range of successful test beam campaigns and detector development applications.", optnote="WOS:000525449600038", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4649), last updated on Wed, 06 Jan 2021 11:14:29 +0000", issn="1748-0221", doi="10.1088/1748-0221/15/01/P01038", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.13725", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/15/01/P01038", language="English" }
