Description
A high resolution ($\sigma \sim 2\mu m$) beam telescope based on monolithic
active pixel sensors was developed within the EUDET collaboration. It
has become the primary beam tool for many groups including several
CERN based experiments, largely due to its precise resolution,
reliable operation and DAQ integration capabilities. For the telescope
to deliver this excellent performance, 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 processors running in ILCSoft's Marlin framework that allows
the spatial reconstruction of particle tracks and the final data
analysis.
Although both software packages have been used successfully in test
beams for many years, they are under constant development: integrating
new device types and use-cases, extending usability and flexibility,
and supporting new features such as the high-rate capabilities of the
next-generation pixel beam telescope developed within the new European
detector infrastructure project AIDA.
In this contribution, we present the features of the current releases
of both EUDAQ and EUTelescope, show-case the application of the
frameworks within other projects, and discuss the plans for
development toward an easy to use software stack with the capability
for high particle and data rates.
