The beam spot and divergence can be adjusted, down to sub-mm sizes and 2 mrad (downstream of the vacuum beam-pipe exit window), matching the user needs. We describe of the BTF beam transverse monitor systems based on FitPIX detectors, operating in bus synchronization mode externally timed to the BTF beam. We also describe our custom software allowing the acquisition and synchronization of the beam diagnostics with the users data, using TCP/IP calls to MEMCACHED. The performance of the system in a variety of beam intensity, energy and focusing conditions is reported.
