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. %K Data acquisition concepts %K Detector control systems (detector and experiment monitoring and slow-control systems %K architecture %K hardware %K algorithms %K databases) %K Particle tracking detectors %K Calorimeters %R 10.1088/1748-0221/15/01/P01038 %U https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.13725 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/15/01/P01038 %P P01038 - 30pp
