HDMC Development (2)

Module GUI

• Original idea: be very general, using PartCollection...
• ...but Module and PartCollection are different branches of the Part class model...and PartCollection now removed?
• Also needs compact Register display
• Who is going to do the work?

Bitfield Access

• Want convenient access to bitfields from C++
• One way: use a compiler to create many separate Register subclasses from the configuration files. Each bitfield becomes two functions to set and get the values, implementing appropriate masking etc.
• Alternative: Assembler type class to do it all on the fly.
• Former requires a compiler, but code would look simpler and more comprehensible. Latter requires no relinking to change behaviour. (Is this good or bad in DAQ environment?!)

Test and Verify

• Some scripting capability has been added (and documented?)
• Need something like Part::Verify() for recursive simple checks
• Scheme for running test vectors with sets of inputs and known outputs
