-We are grateful to the referee for the helpful comments and
-suggestions concerning our first draft. We have addressed each
-mentioned point in our revised draft as follows (the order of the
-points corresponds to the order of the referee report):
+Dear Editor,
 
-- We extended section 5 regarding the connection to the TRB3 platform.
-  We improved the figures belonging to section 6 clarifying the
-  results of the measurement. This should enable people without a HEP
-  background to understand the experiment better. The authors are
-  still convinced that these sections show the applicability of the
-  platform in "real-life" environments, which is an important feature
-  of a DAQ system, and hence are not superfluous.
+we thank the referee for his constructive comments on our draft. We
+have modified the draft accordingly; please find a summary of the
+changes below (the order of the points corresponds to the order of the
+referee report):
+
+- Sections 5 and 6 show that the TRB3 platform can be used in
+  large-scale applications under experiment-like conditions,
+  demonstrating an essential feature of a new DAQ platform. We have
+  expanded both sections to emphasise this point even more and to make
+  them more accessible to readers without a HEP background.
 
 - We increased the size of figure 1b as much as possible and added a
   short description in the corresponding section 3.1.
