How to setup the DAQ

The scantool is designed to control the DAQ system via a pre-configured DaqController device. This means it can start and stop a run for a single scan as well as commit the currently selected DAQ configuration groups. Due to collisions, Karabacon will not change the DAQ configuration!

ATTENTION: ALL the groups for your motors and data sources must be selected. Failing to do so means that your data will not be recorded.

The DaqController can control a pre-configures DAQ. In case of DAQ configuration problems please proceed with troubleshooting the DAQ manually.

Note

If a DAQ integration is not desired, the useDAQ boolean in the karabacon can be set to False before instantiation!

Note

The DAQ configuration must be done always before the scan configuration if activated. The general system must be in a recordable state.
