CAPS Server Application
=======================

The |appname| server provides data in multiple formats from different sensor
types, e.g. :term:`miniSEED`, GNSS, meteorological devices, video, etc. to
clients such as standard |scname| :term:`modules <module>`. The data can be
natively fed into and provided by the |appname| server in different flexible
ways.

* **Data acquisition:** read the section on :ref:`sec-caps-plugins`.
* **Data retrieval:** read the section :ref:`sec-caps-retrieval`.

For setting up and running a |appname| server, consider the following sections
