P o S(TIPP2014)353 EUDAQ and EUTelescope – Software Frameworks for Testbeam Data Acquisition and Analysis

A high resolution (σ ≈ 2µm) beam telescope based on monolithic active pixel sensors was devel-oped within the EUDET collaboration. It has become the primary in-beam tool for many groups including several CERN based experiments, largely due to its precise spatial resolution, reliable operation and DAQ integration capabilities. For the telescope to deliver this excellent perfor-mance, two software packages play a central role: EUDAQ, a multi-platform data acquisition system that allows easy integration of the device-under-test, and EUTelescope, a group of pro-cessors running in ILCSoft’s Marlin framework that allows the spatial reconstruction of particle tracks and the final data analysis. In parallel to their successful operation in test beams for many years, both software packages are under constant development: from the integration of new device types and use-cases, to improve-ments to usability and flexibility, and the support of new features such as the high-rate capabilities of the next-generation pixel beam telescope developed within the new European detector infras-tructure project AIDA. In this contribution, we present the features of the current releases of both EUDAQ and EUTelescope and discuss the plans for development toward an easy-to-use software stack with the capability for high particle and data rates
