Run Control (5)

General Idea

• Initial$\rightarrow$Loaded:
  • Read hardware configuration for crate
  • Create run time objects for modules
  • Lock resources against simultaneous use by other partitions
• Loaded$\rightarrow$Configured:
  • FIRST: use TTC broadcast to sync LVDS links?
  • Check expected modules are actually present
  • Can load any run type independent settings into modules
• Configured$\rightarrow$Running:
  • Load run type dependent settings into modules
  • LAST: for some calibrations, use TTC broadcast to start synchronous playback
• Periodically (maybe separate thread or process?):
  • Read status, error counts, PP rates
  • Publish in the information service
