Continuous Data Acquisition and Data Streams

In the NCS, normally the data acquisition is continuous: fast independent data streams are generated by the backends as well as other subsystems, e.g., by the atenna mount drive to describe the antenna's movements. The data processing software synchronizes the data from different streams based on time stamps in the data. Most data streams keep continuously running even between subscans.
