Crate Controller (3)

Implementation

• Design a ``CtrlModule'' subclass for each module type
• CtrlModule provides methods for high level run control actions for the module
• Crate controller uses H/W database to create list of CtrlModules in its crate
• Crate controller is also the interface between other databases (trigger menu, calibration) and the CtrlModules
• Crate controller calls sets of CtrlModule methods to execute the various transition actions (may depend on run type)
• CtrlModule may own/link to HDMC Part(s) which will actually perform the actions
• CtrlModule responsible for updating its status in IS
• Considering best way to implement different run types
