Welcome to SNDAQ’s documentation!

The Supernova DAQ (SNDAQ), is the online pulse-counting software used to search for ~1 s bursts of MeV neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae and other luminous transients. A selection of references describing the software and its use in IceCube can be found here:
