 By default, when running in Slave mode, data are recorded in the stagearea of the Master DAQ (experiment account). It is however possible to record simultaneously data from the S800 into the S800 stagearea, using the ''multilogger'' option (see ReadoutGUI figure above). The S800 ReadougGUI offers the possibility to record data from four different S800 ring-buffers: rawccusb, rawvmusb, s800built, and s800filter. The later is the most important since data from this ring buffer can be immediately processed by the S800 SpecTcl.  By default, when running in Slave mode, data are recorded in the stagearea of the Master DAQ (experiment account).
