	The complete chain from submitting a proposal, collecting meta data, performing an experiment, towards analysis of these data and finally long term archive will be described. During this process a few obstacles have to be tackled. The workflow should be transparent to the user as well as to the beamline scientists. The final data will be stored in NeXus compatible HDF5 container format. Because the transfer of one large file is more efficient than transferring many small files, container formats enable a faster transfer of experiment data. At the same time HDF5 supports to store meta data together with the experiment data. For large data sets another implication is the performance to download the files. Furthermore the analysis software might not be available at each home institution; as a result it should be an option to access the experiment data on site. The meta data allows to find, analyse, preserve and curate the data in a long term archive, which will become a requirement fairly soon.

	We report the data acquisition system (DAQ) for user experiments at SACLA (the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Free Electron Laser). The system provides standardized experimental framework to various XFEL users since March 2012. It is required to store shot-by-shot information synchronized with the XFEL beam of 60Hz at the maximum repetition rate. The data throughput goes up to 6 Gbps with TOF waveforms and/or images (e.g. X-ray diffraction images) from experiments. The data are stored to the hierarchical storage system capable of more than 6 PByte at the last stage. The DAQ system incorporates with prompt data processing performed by a 14 TFlops PC cluster as well as on-line monitoring. In 2014, SACLA will introduce the third beamline to increase the capacity of experiments. On the DAQ side, it is a challenge to operate multiple experiments simultaneously. The control and data stream will be duplicated and separated for beamlines. A new central server to manage each beamline condition in one place will help increase the efficiency of setup procedure and reduce risks of mishandling between beamlines.

FPO026	ADEI and Tango Archiving System – A Convenient Way to Archive and Represent Data	TANGO, interface, controls, database	213

	Tango offers an efficient and powerful archiving mechanism of Tango attributes in a MySQL database. The tool Mambo allows an easy configuration of all to be archived data. This approved archiving concept was successfully introduced to ANKA (Angströmquelle Karlsruhe). To provide an efficient and intuitive web-based interface instead of complex database queries, the TANGO Archiving System was integrated into the “Advanced Data Extraction Infrastructure ADEI”. ADEI is intended to manage data of distributed heterogeneous devices in large-scale physics experiments. ADEI contains internal pre-processing, data quality checks and an intuitive web interface, that guarantees fast access and visualization of huge a data sets stored in the attached data sources like MySQL databases or data files. ADEI and the Tango archiving system have been successfully tested at ANKA's imaging beamlines. It is intended to deploy both at all ANKA beamlines.
