The LCLS DAQ includes many slowly changing quantities (e.g. voltages, temperatures) that are recorded with software called EPICS. Also, many other non-area-detectors are not yet accessible with the simple "Detector" interface. We

We have plans to make everything all data accessible with the easier "Detector" interface, but until that is complete we support the following older forms of accessing detector information.
