Run Control

• We need a Local Controller for each crate: provide code in the DAQ -1 run control skeleton to implement the actions for each state transition. Includes: checking hardware configuration, load calibrations and run parameters, setup calibrations...
• Single process (multiple threads?) running in crate CPU (but could run in PC and use net bus server).
• Read configuration (modules in crate etc) and calibration from database files and run parameters from IS.
• Load modules with appropriate settings for Physics/Calibration runs; load playback memories for some calibrations?
• Interface to DetDAQ in ROD crates?
• Continuous monitoring of local crate (transmission errors, rate histograms from PPMs, etc). Monitor data published in IS.
• Special overall run controller for whole system is probably also required (interface to trigger for calibrations?).
