Description
The DAFNE orbit is acquired by 4 front-end DEVILs (364, 365, 366, 367) and post processed by the DEVIL204.
The basic elements created by the 4 front-end DEVILs are:
ORBRAK063 (364)
ORBRAK071 (365)
ORBRAK070 (366)
ORBRAK066 (367)
and the final element created by the DEVIL204 is:
GOD**001
The DEVIL204, besides the two conventional GOD**001_STA and GOD**001_DYN forks, builds also a circular buffer of data (containing the actual real-time X and Y orbit projections) accessible in the VME address space. To have this data also available on non-VME processors, a dedicated proxy constantly reads the GOD**001_STA and GOD**001_DYN forks, as well as the circular buffer from VME, and transfers them to memcached.

Keys usage
Example of LabVIEW code to use at level 1 to unflatten and extract from the 2D-array the two projections of the orbit:
When using other languages, the "unflatten from string" operator is not available; in these cases, you have to decode the 2D-array.
The 2D-array is written in memcached as two I32 numbers – that report the number of rows and the number o columns of the 2D-array – followed by a series of DBL numbers (ordered row by row). The following example, reports the 2D representation of a 2-rows, 3-cols array with the values: row 0 = [0,1,2], row 1 = [10,11,12]
|< #rows >|< #cols >| a00 | a01 | a02 | a10 | a11 | a12 |
| first row | last row |
