Opals
Items we can test:
- How does DAQ performance relate to the number of (and which) Opals are being run?

Alvium
Here is information about the Alvium camera. Here we are running it as a DAQ device and not a Controls device.
Basic page about the Alvium, this includes a link to the manual and information about the bit depth modes: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/PCDS/Alvium.
The DAQ GUI can be used to configure the camera.
- From the DAQ Control window, select the “Edit” button, which brings up a “Reconfigure” window.
- Scroll down under Device to find “Alvium_0 [ alvium_mid_mag]”.
- When that is highlighted you will see “AlviumConfig” listed under Component.
- Clicking on that will bring up the configuration options for the camera. Click on “Save” to exit.
- The “Apply” button must be clicked to make the changes.
