-Two crates are read by the Sweeper DAQ software, one CAMAC and one VME. Data from each of these controllers are pushed into [[http://docs.nscl.msu.edu/daq/newsite/nscldaq-11.2/c43.html|ring buffers ]] (**rawccusb** for CCUSB and **rawvmusb** for VMUSB). The Sweeper Event Builder (EVB) reads  data from these ring-buffers, correlates them on the basis of their time stamps, and outputs the resulting data stream on the ring buffer **sweeper**. According to the NSCLDAQ 11.x [[http://docs.nscl.msu.edu/daq/newsite/nscldaq-11.2/x4509.html|protocol]], data in the ring buffer **sweeper** will be organized in ring items, each consisting of two fragments, one for each controller.+Two crates are read by the Sweeper DAQ software, one CAMAC and one VME.
