Conclusions • DAQ successfully used to commission all current ND280 detectors with multiple sub-detectors commissioned and calibrated simultaneously • Also deployed as QA DAQ systems for module production • DAQ ready to accept INGRID diagonal modules and ECAL P0D & barrel modules summer-autumn 2010 • Now in daily use for beam data taking • Data rates to tape are within acceptable limits • CPU load on FPNs low (~5% RXT, ~10% DPT)
