2 +* besides the arivaltime from FLASH1 there is also the FLASH2/3 electron arrival time saved. The BAM data is saved for the complete RF pulse. First bunches are from FLASH1 then there is a gap for switching and then there is a second part for FLASH2 (starting at the FLASH2 start time (recorded in DAQ as {{code language="none"}}/FL2/Timing/start time flash2{{/code}}))

36 +* the streak camera measures the delay between optical (amplified) laser and FEL (dipole radiation). - not in respect to the master clock !
37 +* streak camera ONLY delivers data which is averaged over several 10 seconds. there is NO shot to shot info.
38 +* a larger value of the streak camera delay indicates that the optical laser comes later than the FEL (or FEL earlier than the laser ...)
