About the toolkit

The artdaq toolkit is a data-acquisition framework designed for high-energy physics experiments. It provides a flexible, reliable backbone for data transfers and has several locations where users can perform custom analysis tasks using the art framework.

The artdaq suite consists of the following packages:

• trace: High-performance message logging
• artdaq-core: Data formats used by the artdaq toolkit
• artdaq-utilities: Online tools, primarily metrics reporting
• artdaq-mfextensions: Extensions to the MessageFacility product which are useful in DAQ context
• artdaq: Application and data transfer framework
• artdaq-core-demo: Data formats used by the artdaq demonstration system
• artdaq-demo: "User" implementations for the artdaq demonstration system
• artdaq-daqinterface: Command line run control and example configurations
• artdaq-database: Bindings for MongoDB or local "filesystemdb" configuration databases
• artdaq-epics-plugin: Metric endpoint for the EPICS control system

About this package

This package consists of the TRACE high-performance message logging package. It can be built and used independently from the rest of the artdaq suite.

To get started, see the quick-start.txt file.

Please note that using a version of gcc that supports the c11 and/or c++11 standard is desirable.

RPM packaging provided by Pat Riehecky on the Scientific Linux team.
