233 +The DAQ writes into a file (in .raw format) up to a configurable value. If the limit is reached the file will be closed and a new file will be started. Thus a run can contain tens to hundreds of files.

235 +The size can be configured to be 100 MB, 350 MB or 1000 MB (default)

260 -To assign which DAQ is used at what beamline one has to use the dropdown menu in the {{code language="none"}}parameter monitor{{/code}}. In each Beamline overview tab (BL1,2,3) there is a button (upper right) that starts the {{code language="none"}}parameter monitor{{/code}} panel. In the upper middle is a DAQ field in which the appropriate DAQ can be assigned to the Beamline.

However mainly for images that are saved with less than 10 Hz the HDF5 converter has problems with the large files. And for low data rates it may take upto half an hour to fill one 1GB file. Then smaller ones are also preferable.
