C++ Access to Parts and Bitfields

Murrough Landon - 30 March 2000

Objectives

• HDMC GUI displays bit fields of complex registers
• ...for DAQ, want that detailed access from C++
• HDMC PartManager knows which registers and memories comprise a module
• ...for the DAQ, want C++ access to known registers as data members of Module classes
• In both cases, HDMC information comes from configuration files
• Dont want to duplicate maintenance, so aim to generate C++ from the configuration files
• Use existing HDMC code to parse them
