The ODB Structure

The data in the ODB are structured in a tree form with each "directory" dealing with a specific section of the acquisition. Particular system applications such as the Data Logger, Frontend will create on their initial ODB structure without user intervention. Later it will be possible for the user to modify these configurations to fit his requirements.
