Murrough Landon - 15 March 2000

Wishlist (unordered)

• Handling of bus errors; those and other errors via exceptions
• Use only STL; support only STL capable platforms (except for busserver)
• Agree how to support Module subclasses for DAQ
• Agree how to provide unified GUI for Module and its Parts
• Support for testing Parts and Part hierarchies
• Initialisation of Part hierarchy (also) from DAQ -1 OO database
• Agree how to implement convenient access to bit fields
• (Someday!) Pretty view of the configuration

Module Subclasses

• Can add Module data members for known components of specific Modules
• Can initialise these from PartManager...
• ...but not sure about Part hierarchy and dependent Parts which arent truly components of a Module, eg IOFrame depending on a Module Register
• Useful methods for DAQ activities can use specific data members to initialise, download, read out specific module subclasses.
