+====== BTF-DAQ data specification ======
+The BTF-DAQ is a dynamic composition of different modules, each one of those is run-time switchable on and off\\
+Here is a standard configuration, with some modules in a VME crate, other in NIM crate and again as standalone:\\
+  - Delay Programmable Unit
+  - Scaler
+  - Silicon Microstrip chamber
+  - Peak Detector
+  - QDC
+  - TDC
+For more info see [[strutture:lnf:da:btf:dispositivi:daq:| this page]]
+Here a sample of one line in output from BTF DAQ\\
+This example datastream has:
+- SINGLE event mode: one event(ok trigger) per buffer
+- only one running board (QDC2)
+Here an example row of the datastream (\n unix terminated):

+These 32 words belonging to the BTF scaler and they are included in the datastream as default:\\
+  * First word is scaler channel1 (data=0) (counting is reset on DAQ restart every time)
+  * the last is scaler channel 32 (data=19964) (counting is reset on DAQ restart every time)
+  * word 31 and 32 are, respectively, trigger acquired and the overall trigger received

+These are 32 word belonging to the V965 16 channels (it is, in this example, the only active element in addition to the scaler:  0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0).\\
+BTF version of the V965 has 16 charge coupled channels (chXX-hirange chXX-lowrange): for each couple the range is 800pC (first data channel on the stream) and 100pC (the other one). These data are not pedestal subtracted and V965 channel counting starts from channel0.
