 The USB DAQ is a Tcl-based software. It is capable of handling multiple crate controllers (CC-USB or VM-USB) connected to the same computer.   The USB DAQ is a Tcl-based software. It is capable of handling multiple crate controllers (CC-USB or VM-USB) connected to the same computer.  
  
-The data streams coming from the various crates are synchronized and combined into a single stream by the event builder designed by the NSCL DAQ group. Detailed information about the event builder can be found [[http://docs.nscl.msu.edu/daq/newsite/nscldaq-11.0/c4456.html|here]]. +The data streams coming from the various crates are synchronized and combined into a single stream by the Event Builder designed by the NSCL DAQ group.

 +The time-ordered data from the Event Builder is sent to the ring buffer **s800built**, which is then read by the S800 Event Filter. This program makes some integrity-checks of the data and assembles them into NSCL standard buffers, which are sent to the ringbuffer **s800filter**. Users need to connect to this ringbuffer to analyze the experiment data (using e.g. SpecTcl). The format of the data distributed by the S800 Filter is described [[Event Filter|here]].
