The facility can provide runtime tuneable electrons and positrons beams in a range of different parameters: energy (up to 750 MeV for e⁻ and 540 MeV for e+), charge ( up to 10¹⁰ e /bunch) and pulse length (1.4-40 ns). The bunch delivering rate is up to 49 Hz and the beam spot and divergence can be adjusted, down to sub-mm sizes and 2 mrad, in order to achieve user needs. In these paper we are going to describe the new implementation of the secondary BTF beam transverse monitor systems based on WIDEPIX FITPIX detectors, operating in bus synchronization mode externally timed to BTF beams. Our software layout includes a data producer, a live-data display consumer and a MEMCACHED caching server. This configuration offers to BTF users a vary fast approach to the transverse data using TCP/IP calls to MEMCACHED with an easy and fast software integration on users DAQ. The data packing permits also to avoid the needs of mixed (user vs BTF) hardware synchronization.
