This file sets up SusiQ for the upcoming acquisition. The file name is unique and must be named susiq.dft . A good practice is to have a dedicated directory with a dedicated susiq.DFT defining the experimental setup. The following table describes all the possible setups definitions which may be included in susiq.DFT. The first 7 entries are the minimum requirement. The other definitions will default to the conditions shown if they are not explicitly entered in susiq.DFT.

ACQ_MODE defines the mode of acquisition. The default is SUSGEN which generates
random data for simulation. This parameter has to be set to CAMxxx to be able
to access CAMAC interface.

is especially important to correctly set the forground colors for a monochrome
monitor. The table consists of a string of 10 numbers which correspond
sequentially to the different parts of the screen.
