Write the data acquisition parameters to a more easily parsed file

[iverks]

Hi, thanks for the great library.

It would be even better if the data acquisition parameters (e.g. cRED_log.txt) were written to a standard file format (.json, .yaml or .toml) to make it easier to create automation scripts without writing a custom parser.

Fully agree, I think yaml would be a good choice here. Is this something you would be willing to help out with?

[iverks]

Yes of course. Do you want it to be as well as or instead of the cRED_log.txt?

I don't think it hurts to keep it for a while, but I also think yaml is the way forward for this. It should be easy to deprecate the cred_log.txt in a while.
